A LARGE part of the reason why the Honda Civic is our favourite family hatchback is down to its brilliant petrol/electric powertrain, so it’s no surprise that it’s also managed to scoop the top spot in our hybrid category, too. Under the bonnet sits a 2.0-litre petrol engine that works alongside a pair of electric motors and a 1.06kWh battery.
Not only does that mean there’s a very healthy 181bhp on tap, but around town it’ll spend the majority of its time
