Honda Previews i-DCD Dual Clutch Hybrid for Small Cars
http://www.motoring.com.au/news/2013/honda/honda-hybrids-let-off-the-chain-35274
Was seriously writing off the Civic and was leaning more towards the Accord but then the hybrid version of the Civic came into mind. At around $24/25k, the premium over the EX model isn't too bad.
Can we expect the i-DCD in the mid-cycle model refresh for the Civic hybrid, hopefully in 2015? Wouldn't mind the 7 speed auto DCT to go along with that.
The 2012 Civic gets a decent 44/44 and if Honda says it can get 30% more fuel economy by adapting this technology, then we could see 50ish MPG for both city and highway driving:
