The Civic is part of Honda's European portfolio to go hybrid-only, to electrify all mainstream passenger cars by the end of next year. The previous generation of Honda Civic was sold in India in sedan form but didn’t find a place in the Indian market and thus, Civic had to leave the market in just a little over a year.
