ALLISTON, Ont. – Japanese automaker Honda says it will begin production of the Civic Hybrid next year at its Alliston, Ontario, plant.
The company says the Ontario plant will produce the sedan version of the car.
According to the automaker, the hatchback version of the Civic Hybrid will be manufactured at a plant in Indiana.
Honda already produces the hybrid version of its CR-V sport utility vehicle in Alliston and at its Indiana plant.

Civic Hybrid sales are expected to account for more than 40 percent of Civic sales in North America.
