   The Civic Hybrid with Integrated Motor Assist IMA combines the brisk performance of a 1.5 liter, 8 valves, SOHC i-VTEC engine that has been refined for 2012 with many friction-reducing and airflow improvements with a high output electric motor. Together this combo generates 110 hp. The Civic Hybrid also has features of incessantly variable transmission, which is an advanced transmission that substitutes the gears found in more traditional transmissions and replaces them with a metal push belt running between a pair of variable width pulleys. Under certain conditions, the electric motor can propel the car from a stop to speeds up to 45 mph. Together, the motor and engine produce 110 hp @ 5500 rpm.
   
   The IMA electric motor works in conjunction with the gasoline engine and supplies additional torque in assist mode. The motor's ultra-thin design allows it to be mounted between the engine and the transmission. The motor also functions as the generator for the IMA system during deceleration and as a starter, quickly spinning the engine up to idle speed. Every 2011 Civic Hybrid is equipped with a continuously variable transmission (CVT). Similar to an automatic transmission of Honda civic hybrid, CVT is an advanced transmission that substitutes the gears found in more traditional transmissions and replaces them with a metal push-belt running between a pair of variable width pulleys.
