Click to enlarge. 2006 Honda Civic Hybrid Pricing & Features Initially, the only option on the 2006 Honda Civic Hybrid will be a navigation system. The car goes on sale October 1 for about $21,500.

Honda expects to place a window sticker totaling about $21,500 in the 2006 Honda Civic Hybrid when it goes on sale October 5, 2005. A navigation system will run extra, though the price has not been set at this writing. That’s a reasonable amount to pay for a roomy sedan that gets 47 mpg without really trying.

Standard equipment on the 2006 Honda Civic Hybrid includes everything that comes on the Civic EX sedan except the power sunroof and rear seat center armrest. In addition to the special powertrain and related hardware, the Civic Hybrid adds an automatic climate control system, a roof-mounted antenna, and a driver’s seatback pocket. And don’t forget, the 2006 Honda Civic Hybrid’s rear seat doesn’t split and fold like in other Civic sedans. The battery pack is sandwiched between the rear seatback and the trunk, and it eats up 1.6 cubic feet of cargo toting capacity.

The 2006 Honda Civic Hybrid is also offered in two exclusive exterior paint colors called Opal Silver Blue and Magnetic Pearl. Other colors include white, silver, and gray. Interiors are trimmed in Ivory, unless you opt for silver or Magnetic Pearl, in which case you get a special Hybrid-only blue interior trim.
