At the heart of every Honda hybrid sits the award-winning fourth-generation two-motor hybrid system. This advanced powertrain combines two large electric motors with an efficient Atkinson-cycle gasoline engine, delivering both strong performance and exceptional fuel economy. The system operates without a traditional transmission or CVT, instead relying on direct drive force transfer between the motors for smooth, predictable acceleration.
The Honda two-motor system earned recognition from WardsAuto with a "Wards 10 Best Engines & Propulsion Systems" award for the third consecutive year. This honour reflects the system's ability to maximize fuel efficiency without sacrificing dynamic performance or interior space—a balance that matters when navigating both city streets and rural highways around Orangeville.
The CR-V Hybrid maintains its position as Canada's best-selling hybrid SUV, and hybrid models now represent over 65% of all CR-V sales. For 2026, Honda expands the CR-V Hybrid lineup to include four distinct trims, each offering standard all-wheel drive and the proven two-motor hybrid system.
The CR-V Hybrid pairs a 2.0-litre inline 4-cylinder engine with the two-motor hybrid system, delivering 204 horsepower and 247 lb-ft of torque. This combination provides quick acceleration from stops and confident passing power on highways, while maintaining its fuel economy ratings.
The CR-V lineup gains significant technology upgrades, including a larger 9-inch HD touchscreen in all models, wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto compatibility, and standard wireless charging. Higher trims feature a 10.2-inch full digital instrument display with customizable functions.
The first-ever CR-V TrailSport Hybrid brings rugged styling and trail-ready capability to Honda's hybrid lineup. This model features Continental CrossContact ATR all-terrain tires mounted on unique Shark Gray 18-inch wheels, a more aggressive front fascia with silver skid garnish, and exclusive Ash Green Pearl exterior colour. All CR-V all-wheel drive models gain enhanced traction management at speeds below 14 km/h, improving off-road performance.
Positioned at the top of the Civic lineup, the 2026 Civic Hybrid combines the fun-to-drive spirit Civic is known for with the efficiency of Honda's two-motor hybrid system. Available as both a sedan and hatchback, Civic Hybrid models represent over 60% of Civic sales in Canada and earned the 2025 North American Car of the Year award.
The Civic Hybrid features an all-new 2.0-litre Atkinson-cycle 4-cylinder engine paired with the fourth-generation two-motor hybrid system. With 200 horsepower and 232 lb-ft of torque, hybrid-powered Civics are the most powerful non-Type R Civics ever produced, delivering quick, effortless acceleration.
The Civic Sedan Sport Hybrid and Sport Touring Hybrid achieve a 4.7 L/100 km city rating—exceptional efficiency for a vehicle with this level of performance.
Linear Shift Control enhances the driving experience by mimicking the rev feel associated with conventional drivetrains under acceleration. This feature adds engagement to the driving experience while maintaining the smooth, efficient operation of the hybrid system.
The Civic Hybrid is available in two trim levels: Sport Hybrid and Sport Touring Hybrid. Both trims offer the same powerful hybrid powertrain, with the Sport Touring Hybrid adding premium features and technology.
The Honda Accord Hybrid continues to be a strong performer in Honda's hybrid lineup. The two-motor hybrid system represents more than 60% of Accord sales in Canada, demonstrating strong market acceptance of Honda's hybrid technology in the midsize sedan segment.
The highly-anticipated 2026 Honda Prelude marks the return of Honda's iconic sports coupe nameplate, now powered by the two-motor hybrid-electric system. This represents the first-ever electrified Prelude, combining sporty driving dynamics with exceptional fuel efficiency.
The Prelude uses the same hybrid system found in the Civic Hybrid, pairing two powerful electric motors with a 2.0-litre Atkinson-cycle direct injection gasoline engine. System output reaches 200 horsepower and 232 lb-ft of torque, providing quick acceleration and responsive performance.
The Prelude introduces the innovative Honda S+ Shift system, which delivers an engaging shifting simulation with virtual rev-matched downshifts in S+ mode and enhanced engine sounds. This technology increases driver connection and engagement while maintaining the efficiency benefits of the hybrid powertrain.
