The Multinational Honda Announced The Arrival Of The New Generation Of The Honda Civic Hybrid, Which Makes 20 Km/L In Brazil

The multinational Honda has just revealed, on Wednesday (23), the 11th generation of the Honda Civic: the Honda Civic e:HEV. With a less aggressive design than its predecessor, the five-seater in the C segment will be sold in Elegant and Sport versions exclusively with hybrid engine. The Japanese company also revealed a new concept: the SUV e:NY1, a 100% electric model in the B segment that will be on sale in 2023.

Honda plans to unveil five new models by the end of 2023, including the new e:NY1. Little has been revealed about this B-SUV, apart from the fact that “it will occupy a central place in Honda’s future lineup,” according to the automaker. Plans also include a plug-in hybrid CR-V, another hybrid SUV with e:HEV technology, and a Honda Civic Type R.

Thus, the multinational Honda decides to bet on a more elegant and sporty approach, achieved by reducing the hood line by 25 mm compared to the previous generation, while the glazed area has been increased. Still without official measurements, the Civic is longer than the previous generation and has a wheelbase that is 35mm longer. It also weighs 20% less.

Combined Power Of Up To 184 Hp And New Combustion Engine

The powertrain of the new e:HEV hybrid features a new 72-cell lithium-ion battery and two compact electric motors, all coupled to a newly developed 2.0-liter direct-injection Atkinson cycle engine. In combination, the powertrain offers a maximum power of 135 kW (184 hp) and torque of 315 Nm.

The new version of the combustion engine features several new elements in its architecture, promising a thermal efficiency of 41%. In the safety section, within the Honda Sensing package, the new Civic incorporates a new front camera with a 100-degree panoramic view and enhanced recognition technology.

And, as a major novelty, it is equipped with sonar sensors: four in the front and another four in the rear. In addition to the improved collision prevention and mitigation system, lane departure warning and prevention system, and enhanced adaptive cruise control technology (i-ACC), the hybrid Civic now also features a blind spot information system, cross traffic monitoring, and a traffic jam assist system. In the absence of further official information, the Honda Civic e:HEV will be available in the European market and Spain this fall.

Out Of Breath To Compete With Rivals Corolla, Honda Civic Left The Brazilian Market At The End Of Last Year

The decision to end production of the Honda Civic was mainly due to the success of SUVs. In 2021, the model had about 14,000 units sold between January and September. Its competitor, the Toyota Corolla, for example, sold 30,500 units in the same period. But it’s not just that: the segment has dwindled with the rise of SUVs, currently accounting for only 5% of sales.

The multinational Honda informed suppliers that the production of the Honda Civic would end in November of last year. Thus, starting in December, the automaker unified vehicle production at its Itirapina (SP) factory, which was implemented in 2016 but only began activities in 2019 due to successive declines in car sales in the country.

A village with 115 inhabitants wants new residents: it offers a house, a job, up to 44 thousand euros in benefits, almost free rent, an annual grant of 8 thousand euros for 3 years, and a 20 thousand euro incentive for businesses in the mountains of Italy.

Seven world powers including the US, China, and Russia are spending €22 billion on a reactor in the south of France that aims to confine plasma at 150 million degrees Celsius, ten times the temperature of the Sun’s core, using a magnetic field capable of lifting an entire aircraft carrier.

With a wingspan of 152 meters, 76 tires, and a capacity to carry 1,270 tons, the Boeing Pelican was the giant “flying ship” that promised to cross oceans close to the water on an invisible air cushion beneath its wings.

Elon Musk’s internet comes to mobile: Starlink technology connects smartphones without an antenna via satellite, works even without carrier signal, already costs just US$10 extra in the US, and could arrive in Brazil as an included benefit.

While countries spend billions to draw water from the sea, a Nobel-winning scientist creates a container-sized machine that extracts up to 1,000 liters per day from dry air and uses ultrasound to release water in minutes, even in the middle of the desert.

After 16 years and almost 600 prototypes, a Chinese inventor unveils the world’s smallest and cheapest manned jet, at just 3.80 meters long and costing US$7.2 thousand in materials.

Belgium will sink 23 giant concrete caissons, each weighing 22,000 tons, in the North Sea to build the world’s first artificial energy island 45 km off the coast, forming offshore electrical walls.

Senai is calling for unprecedented free courses in industrial areas, offering a monthly scholarship of R$ 600, a certificate recognized by MEC, and open registrations for training in electrical, welding, maintenance, and civil construction, all with high hiring demand.

Uruguay yields to Embraer and retires its A-37 Dragonfly after almost half a century of service; the jets operated for 49 years, participated in CRUZEX, and now make way for 6 new A-29 Super Tucano with modern avionics.

A pilot project in California covered irrigation canals with solar panels and reduced water evaporation by up to 70%, cut algae growth by 85%, and also made the panels produce up to 5% more energy because the water underneath cools the modules better than the ground.

227 giant concrete caissons, the height of a 10-story building, are forming a 9.1 km seawall in Singapore to build the megaport that will be able to handle 65 million containers per year.

While large motorhomes require a high investment, a mini trailer priced at R$ 77,990 features fiberglass, marine plywood, a bed for three people, an external kitchen, 12 V air conditioning, and a weight of 750 kg for simple, uncomplicated, and light family camping trips.
