there's only one transmission choice, HYBRID. A 4 speed hydramatic and an electric motor that gives 115 pounds of torque and a 36 volt battery capable of delivering 10KW peak of power at one point.

The A/C has economy mode, so it can run the AC when the car is stopped, max of 2 mins I've been told.

.

i got around 20 km a liter when i drove a civic 5 spd using advanced hypermiler techniques
and now I drive a salvage nwh20 prius that gets almost to 25 km/l with 192,000 km to date.
