When it <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/2013/12/05/2014-honda-civic-priced-from-18-190-new-cvt-boosts-city-mpg/">announced official pricing and fuel economy data for the 2014 Civic </a>, <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/honda/">Honda</a> conspicuously left out any mention of the Hybrid or Natural Gas models. On its retail site, Honda still lists the 2012 model year for the Natural Gas, so we reached out to the automaker for some clarification.<br />
<br />
Due to remaining inventory of the 2012 Civic Natural Gas, the 2013 model year was mostly sold to corporate and government fleets, and the 2012 still has a <a href="http://green.autoblog.com/2012/10/12/honda-offering-3-000-gas-card-with-civic-natural-gas-purchase/">$3,000 gas card incentive</a> that was introduced in October 2012. The 2014 Civic Natural Gas will get all of the same updates as the rest of the <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/honda/civic/">2014 Civic</a> lineup, including tweaked interior and exterior styling and some fancy new tech, but it will continue to use the five-speed automatic transmission rather than switching over to a continuously variable transmission.<br />
<br />
No word yet on pricing for the 2014 Civic Natural Gas, but it will likely continue to be the highest-priced model of the Civic lineup when it goes on sale in February. The 2014 Civic Hybrid goes on sale at the same time.<p style="padding:5px;background:#ddd;border:1px solid #ccc;clear:both;"><a href="http://www.autoblog.com/2013/12/08/2014-honda-civic-natural-gas-hybrid-february/">2014 Honda Civic Natural Gas, Hybrid on sale in February</a> originally appeared on <a href="http://www.autoblog.com">Autoblog</a> on Sun, 08 Dec 2013 16:45:00 EST.
