10th Generation Honda Civic's Eco Mode (Little Green Leaf) is a fuel-saving mode. Here is an introduction to Honda's Eco Mode (Little Green Leaf): The Honda Eco Mode (Little Green Leaf) has a compact and efficient exterior, a simple and elegant interior, decent front-row space, limited rear headroom, and a standout trunk space. The 1.5L naturally aspirated engine with CVT is only suitable for city driving. Here is an introduction to Honda: Honda is a Japanese multinational corporation known for manufacturing transportation vehicles and machinery. The company is headquartered in Tokyo, Japan, and is the world's largest motorcycle manufacturer as well as the world's largest internal combustion engine manufacturer.
As someone who has driven the 10th-generation Civic, I find the ECON mode super practical—it's that green leaf button on the dashboard. After starting the car, just press it lightly, and a green indicator light will illuminate on the instrument panel, signaling activation. At this point, the throttle response slows down, and acceleration becomes gentler, helping you save some fuel in city traffic—around 10% or so. I always keep it on during my daily commute, but I turn it off on highways or when in a hurry because it makes the car feel sluggish on inclines, and the air conditioning may automatically reduce output for energy savings. The operation is simple, even beginners can handle it effortlessly—the key is forming the habit of using it often in traffic jams. Over time, it really saves a noticeable amount on fuel costs. During each maintenance check, it's advisable to test the button's responsiveness to avoid unnoticed malfunctions.
