Happy Birthday Honda 市民の. As the new 11th 世代 of the car 示すs 50 years since the first 市民の's 開始する，打ち上げる in 1972, I've taken the 最新の model for a 実験（する） 運動.?

And the タイミング couldn't be better, as the new six-月毎の '72' plate arrives from next Thursday, September 1.?

Styling is evolutionary rather than 革命の, with its classic long, low-riding hatchback 姿勢. But it's the clever under-the-surface 石油-electric hybrid tech which 示すs out the new e:Hev model.?

For it comes 排他的に as a self-非難する hybrid, linking a 2.0-litre 4-cylinder direct 注射 engine to a 殴打／砲列 and two electric モーターs.?

Most of the time, the engine 行為／法令／行動するs as a 発生させる人（物） for the 殴打／砲列, which 運動s the electric モーターs.?

業績／成果-oriented, 確信して, energetic and sharp on twisty count ry roads, and with plenty of pace on motorways, it 加速するs 滑らかに from 残り／休憩（する） to 62mph in a nifty 7.9 seconds, up to a 最高の，を越す 速度(を上げる）?of 112 mph. It also 申し込む／申し出s pocket-friendly 燃料 efficiency of 56.5mpg, with CO2 放出／発行s of 113g/km.?

There are three main 運動 settings: Normal, Sport and Eco. 加える, there's a fourth Individual setting if you want a bespoke 方式.?

There's no physical gearbox as such ― it uses an electronic continuously variable 伝達／伝染 ― but clever electronics give the?impression of going up and 負かす／撃墜する the gears.?

類似して, paddles on the steering wheel are not for changing gear, but to 増加する or 減少（する） 抵抗 on the regenerative ブレーキing.?

There is 負担s of room in the boot and legroom in the 後部, 同様に as an upmarket 内部の and simple-to-use 審査する.?

Prices start from £29,595 for the ?Elegance, which will account?for around a ４半期/4分の1 of sales. It comes with a 後部-見解（をとる） camera, parking se nsors, heated 前線 seats and door mirrors, and a 9in touch 審査する.?

I drove the 中央の-範囲 Sport, 推定する／予想するd to account for nearly half of all sales, which costs from £30,595 ― though 地雷 rose to £31,220 because of the colour and 削減する. The 範囲-topping 前進する (from £32,995) has a panoramic glass roof.

I took it for a spin around the 国境s of Worcestershire and Herefordshire and was pleasantly surprised how plush and punchy it is.

The 石油 engine, 殴打／砲列 and electric モーターs work together in harmony to move seamlessly between pure electric, hybrid and engine 運動ing with no input 要求するd from the driver.

A real smooth 操作者.

Still time for 自動推進の fun?

It's your last chance for some Bank Holiday fun at CarFest South (carfest. org) as the three-day extravaganza continues at Laverstoke Park Farm in Hampshire.?

There's cars, 星／主役にするs, food and live 行為／法令／行動するs, from Rag'n'Bone Man, James Blunt, Paloma 約束 and Kaiser 長，指導者s.

It 目的（とする）s to raise £3million for UK children's charities, too. 一方／合間, two of Britain's poshest モーターing events get under way next week:?

• Salon Priv? (salonprive concours. com) at Blenheim Palace, Oxfordshire, runs from Wednesday, August 31 to the Classic & Supercar public day on Sunday, ?Septe mber 4.
• Concours of Elegance (concoursofelegance. co.uk) at Hampton 法廷，裁判所 Palace, from September 2 to 4, features 70 of the finest モーター cars 始める，決める の中で a その上の 1,000 乗り物s.?
