FAQ

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.

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-emission 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: Do Civic GX owners qualify for Federal Alternative Motor Vehicle Credits?

A: Civic GX owners may qualify for Federal Alternative Motor Vehicle Credits. Please refer to the tax information page and see your tax professional for details.
