What powers the electric motor?
There is a 158-volt battery pack behind the back seats with a power control unit that powers the electric motor, which without any doubt, is very smart technology. Safety With standard side curtain airbags, ABS, and brake assist, but no traction control, stability control, this car provides good features, but no perfect, but hey, who would expect stability control on a compact car? Not a lot of cars do. But here is the good part- there are 5-star crash test ratings by the NHTSA on both frontal driver and passenger! Honda really cares about the customers that buy their cars. Overall, the safety is excellent. Warranty The basic warranty is 3 years/60,000 km, powertrain warranty is 5 years/100,000 km, and there is Hybrid warranty, which is 8 years/160,000 km. It also received a 4-star rollover test, and a 4-star front side crash test, and a 5-star rear side. Those results are good, and I like that the Civic cares about its customers. Overall, the warranty is good. Current models The curre
