The iconic styling of the GX has Civic written all over it. Also inscribed on the side: those all-important NGV (natural gas vehicle) letters.
Sporty Style
A sporty six-sided grille gives the GX a bold appearance. Alternative fuel never looked better.
Badge of Honor
The uniquely designed Natural Gas Vehicle (NGV) decal lends visibility to your smarter choice of ride. After all, what could be smarter than driving an Advanced Technology Partial-Zero-Emission Vehicle (AT-PZEV)[1]?

The Civic GX NGV combines comfort and convenience with the greatest of ease.
Get Inside
The interior of the Civic GX can only be described as intuitive. Controls are well-placed, and a flat rear floor provides ample room. The futuristic cockpit design is all about quality, and features a two-tier instrument panel that provides a unique view of all instrumentation.
Listen In
A 160-watt AM/FM/CD audio system that's MP3- and Windows Media® Audio (WMA)-capable[1] powers the perfect soundtrack for your ride.

The future is closer (and more efficient[1]) than you think.
Powerful Alternative
A Drive-by-Wire™ throttle system and 113-hp, 16-valve i-VTEC® engine give the 2011 Civic GX its get-up-and-go. This clean natural-gas-fueled vehicle also features the latest, next-generation i-VTEC® technology, offering up more power than you'd expect from a smaller engine.
Technologically Advanced
California Air Resources Board certified the GX as an Advanced Technology Partial Zero-Emission Vehicle (AT-PZEV)[2]. Honda's Civic GX is the world's cleanest internal-combustion vehicle[3]. The 5-speed automatic transmission also enhances fuel economy[1].

The Civic GX is the result of extensive research in safety design from Honda.
Working Together
Sophisticated active and passive safety features work in concert to help keep you and your passengers safer in an unpredictable world.
Illumination
The Civic GX enhances your visibility to others by incorporating Daytime Running Lights (DRL).
Confident Stopping
To help you maintain steering control during hard stops, an anti-lock braking system (ABS) is standard. The Electronic Brake Distribution (EBD) system in the Civic GX takes into account how the car is dynamically loaded, and apportions braking force appropriately.
Honda's Safety Philosophy
Honda is committed to providing safety for everyone—that means crash protection not only for our own drivers and passengers, but also for occupants of other vehicles, and injury mitigation for pedestrians. We are dedicated to identifying and implementing advanced designs and features that help enhance the safety of vehicles on the road. Learn more.
For three decades, Honda has played a leading role in meeting environmental challenges.
The Natural Choice
Nothing but clean natural gas powers the Civic GX, making it nearly free of emissions[1]. And you never have to stop at a regular gas station—unless you need a snack.
Smiling Skies
The stringent California Air Resources Board (CARB) calls the GX an Advanced Technology Partial-Zero-Emission Vehicle (AT-PZEV)[1].
Feature Benefits
With the CNG-powered GX, you can tap into North America's fuel supply. So you'll be able to demonstrate your responsible attitude toward both the planet and your budget. The technology and learning from the GX has also helped enable our dream of a real-world fuel-cell powered electric vehicle, the FCX Clarity.

On the road
Talk about mileage: the MPG for the Civic GX is an impressive 24 city/36 hwy/28 combined[1]. When you do need to refuel, it only takes a few minutes at a fast-fill compressed natural-gas station. You'll find plenty of options across the nation—just visit the U.S. Department of Energy web site for a complete list of locations. Please note that most stations accept common forms of payment like Visa or MasterCard; however, some stations require payment with a special "credit card" issued by the station owner or natural gas provider. As for the GX itself, it's available for sale in all 50 states. Our dealer locator can help you find a participating dealer within your area.

Besides caring for the environment, there are several other factors that make purchasing the Civic GX NGV even more attractive.
Its clean, sleek exterior is the perfect match for its environmentally responsible engine. Not to mention the goodwill that can be engendered when you drive a socially and environmentally conscious vehicle. Plus, alternative-fuel vehicles are allowed to use HOV (carpool) lanes in some states, including California, if they display an HOV decal on their vehicle[1].
Civic GX drivers in California can obtain their decal here.
Check your state's Department of Motor Vehicles requirements for additional HOV carpool information.
You may also visit the Alternative Fuels & Advanced Vehicles Data Center to learn about various state and federal incentives.
California drivers can learn about additional state and local incentives here. (And you're always welcome to contact your local Honda dealer for additional information.)

The natural-gas-powered Civic GX is an extremely versatile car that has a multitude of uses. With all the possibilities, you may have questions about its capabilities. Below are the answers to some of the most frequently asked questions. For any unanswered questions, please don't hesitate to contact your Civic GX dealer.
Q: The Civic GX is a dedicated natural-gas vehicle. What does that mean?
A: A dedicated natural-gas vehicle, like the GX, runs exclusively on clean-burning natural gas. This guarantees 100% alternative-fuel use. Some other natural-gas vehicles use a "bi-fuel" system that doesn't offer the same economic and low-emissions benefits that a dedicated system offers.
Q: How clean are the emissions of the engine in the Civic GX?
A: The Civic GX engine produces almost no emissions. The amount of smog-forming emissions is near zero. In fact, the GX is the cleanest internal-combustion vehicle in the world[1].
Q: How much does the 2011 Civic GX NGV cost?
A: The GX has a manufacturer's suggested retail price (MSRP) of $25,490, but may cost you less. That's because the Civic GX likely qualifies for incentives based on the fact that it is environmentally responsible and lessens the nation's dependence on foreign oil. The Civic GX may qualify for a tax credit for eligible buyers (please consult your tax advisor for details) and may also qualify for state and local financial incentives that help reduce its $6,935 incremental cost (the additional cost of a natural-gas equipped Civic GX over a gasoline Civic LX). In addition, the Civic GX may qualify for non-monetary incentives such as allowing you to drive in the carpool lane (the High Occupancy Vehicle [HOV] lane) even if there is only one person in the car[2].
Q: Where can I learn more about natural-gas initiatives for U.S. auto manufacturers?
Q: Where can I find online service information?
A: Your dealer is a good place to start for any information about the Civic GX. Online service information can be found at Honda Service Express.
