Hello,

Is there any news regarding features, improvements, etc. to the '07 Civic Hybrid?

Thanks!

 

This is PURELY SPECULATION, but I bet they offer a sunroof...

 

That would be nice, but they didn't offer that in original HCH. But, it is on the HAH. That is one thing that I really miss a moonroof.

 

Honda usually doesn't change much in a car's second year.

 

I just took delivery of my '06 HCH and was asking the dealer about new offerings for the '07. He had the '07 color chart available, and there was nothing new on paint or interiors for '07.


He told me (but of course he wanted me to take the '06 model), that there will probably be no changes for the '07 model year.

 

I just head back from my Honda dealer (near Phila, PA) and they are expecting the '07 model in by Oct '06. They are willing to take a deposit for the first one...

 

I'll actually request the same from my dealer, rather than picking it up in June/July.


Thanks,
Shawn

 

The HAH added a sunroof in the second model year (from 2005 - 2006). For that reason I would suspect that they offer a sunroof in the 2007 MY Civic Hybrid - it's purely speculation though.

 

You can pretty much be assured there won't be a sunroof. The Accord was moved into a different weight class for EPA which is the only reason it got the sunroof. The resulting EPA mileage estimates went down drastically as a result of the reclassification (even if real world mileage probably didn't change much). They certainly didn't put a sunroof into the 2004 or 2005 Civic Hybrid and those were second and third year of the model run.
