Question

How well does the civic hybrid drive in snow?

Answer 1

The Honda Civic Hybrid is just another FWD vehicle. Drive appropriate for the weather conditions and your skill level, and you're fine.  If you're concerned, upgrade to a better set of "all-season" M+S tires, or preferably do a seasonal changeout to a dedicated set of winter/snow/traction tires/wheels.

Like with all cars, the fuel economy will suffer in the winter. Sloppy roads, winter fuel blends, and particularly the heater use in northern climates will sap your MPG. Because the HCH tells you your fuel economy as you drive, it is more noticable. Also, the gasoline engine in the HCH may run more often than expected (such as when stopped at a stop light) just to keep itself (for emissions reasons) and the passenger compartment warm.

Answer 2

It is front wheel drive so it should be pretty stable in the snow.
