Each year the ACEEE releases a list of the 12 ‘greenest’ and 12 ‘meanest’ vehicles in addition to providing segment rankings.

Chicago Honda Owners Find It Easy Being Green

With a large selection of green machines available at the Honda Superstore of Lisle, environmentally friendly vehicles are quickly becoming a favorite among Chicago Honda shoppers. Here are just a few highlights from the available vehicles.

The 2011 Honda Civic Hybrid is a fully efficient vehicle. Honda has taken the technology pioneered in the Insight and improved on it in current Hybrid Civic. It uses a small 1.3-liter, four-cylinder gas engine of 85 horsepower assisted by a 13-horsepower electric motor. When the driver backs off the throttle or hits the brakes, the energy that is typically wasted is instead captured in a bank of batteries mounted behind the rear passenger seat. The Civic Hybrid is of course also stylish and well equipped.

The Insight is Honda’s attempt to make hybrid technology available to more drivers. With a great fuel economy and practical design, the Insight seats five and achieves an EPA-estimated 43mpg and is available at an affordable price. Five-door access helps meet the needs of Chicago Honda shoppers. The use of smaller internal components allows for more cabin and cargo space, making the Insight family-friendly and versatile as well.
