ECON mode on the previous Civic FC

New for the 2022 Honda Civic FE is a Drive Mode toggle switch, which toggles between ECON, Normal, and Sport mode.

As before, ECON mode reduces fuel consumption further by numbing down the throttle’s sensitivity, lowers the transmission’s shift mapping to a milder, less aggressive shifts and ratios (remember it’s a CVT), as well as reduces the air-conditioning’s output.

As before, Sport mode changes the instrument panel to red and alters the CVT’s shift mapping to a more aggressive one, holding on the lower ratios a little longer. It doesn’t change the engine’s output, which remains at 182 PS and 240 Nm.

Honda Malaysia said that the E and V variants of the Civic returns a claimed fuel consumption figure of 6.0-litre/100 km for E, while the RS variant does 6.3-litre/100 km.
