guys, according to the latest report by the economic times, honda might be launching its hybrid civic by next year.
it would be coming as a CBU and would cost around 20 lacs.
Do you think it makes sense to buy one.

hybrid cars sell well in countries like USA because,people who buy these cars, keep there cars for a very long time and do extensive road travel unlike india where we change are cars in every 3-5 years and mostly travel by trains, planes over long distances

bringing in a hybrid civic, doesnt make any sense now. i do believe its fuel efficient and environment friendly but a 20 lakh price tag for the same car priced at 11-12 lacs. it might do well only if comes as a CKD unit and get assembled here and priced not more than 15/16 lacs. there would hardly be any demand for the hybrid civic.
