2012 Honda Civic Natural Gas priced from $26,155*
Filed under: Honda, Natural Gas
The totally redesigned 2012 Honda Civic Natural Gas (formerly known as the Civic GX), America's only natural gas-burnin' passenger vehicle, will hit Honda dealerships nationwide on October 18 with a starting MSRP $26,155, (*excluding a $750 destination fee). Add in navigation, and the Civic Natural Gas tops out at a substantial $27,655 plus $750 for delivery.
A modified version of the 1.8-liter, four-cylinder found in the gas-fueled 2012 Civic Sedan and Coupe powers the Civic Natural Gas and a five-speed automatic transmission comes standard. The Civic Natural Gas is EPA-rated at 27/38/31 (city/highway/combined) miles per gasoline-gallon equivalent. Compared to the 2011 Civic GX, the 2012 Natural Gas boasts a 12.5-percent improvement in city fuel efficiency and a 5.5-percent bump in highway fuel economy.
But here's the crucial question: How does the Natural Gas stack up against its gas-electric sibling, the Civic Hybrid? Well, the Civic Hybrid starts at $24,800, so it's significantly cheaper than the Natural Gas Civic and, at 44/44/44, the gas-electric version is far more fuel efficient. But for residents of California, where unlimited access to HOV lanes is literally worth thousands of dollars, the Natural Gas Civic might still be the logical choice. The different costs and sources of the two fuels also plays a role, though the availability of said fuel clearly favors the Hybrid. Hit the jump for the official press blast.Continue reading 2012 Honda Civic Natural Gas priced from $26,155*
