Spy Shots: Honda Civic Hybrid facelift
Filed under: Hybrid, Honda, Spy Shots
Click above for a hi-res gallery of the facelifted Civic Hybrid
It looks like Honda's giving the Civic Hybrid a little bit more of an edge in the form of a mild facelift. Up front, the fascia is new, with a three-opening lower intake and a new grille that's shaped like the one you'll find on the Accord and FCX Clarity. A walk to the back of the car reveals what seems to be a new trim piece connecting the taillamps, which are very mildly updated with more ronounced reverse lights. Beyond that, the car looks unchanged. For example, the wheels and profile are identical to the cars on the road right now. It'll be interesting to see whether the appearance updates are exclusive to the hybrid to give it some differentiation, or if they'll make their way to the other Civics as well.

According to the 2009 configurator on the Honda USA site, the same lip spoiler carries on from 08.
AFAIK, the 09 Civic Hybrid gets the same new head / tail lights, front bumper and rear chrome strip as all other 09 Civic sedans
