About the Honda Civic Si
Delivering a unique blend of practicality and performance, the Honda Civic Si is the ultimate daily driver for any enthusiast. Equipped with a standard 200-horsepower turbocharged engine and a close-ratio 6-speed manual transmission, the Civic Si blurs the line between efficiency and exhilaration. You’ll instantly recognize the Civic Si thanks to its race-inspired exterior design cues including a lip spoiler, mesh front grille, and ground effects. A sport-tuned suspension and limited-slip differential are just two examples of track-tested equipment infused into this sports sedan. Naturally, any true driver’s car needs an ergonomic interior to match. The Civic Si comes standard with sport-bolstered red fabric front seats and exclusive display screens that provide a clear look at essential performance data. Since even the most talented drivers can use a helping hand from time to time, every Civic Si also comes standard with the Honda Sensing® suite of active driver-assist technologies.
What the Critics Say
This Civic, like many Si vehicles before it, is sublime to drive. The engine isn't loud, but it sounds smooth and there doesn't seem to be any hesitation while the turbocharger gets up to speed. It loves being shifted near the redline, and that physical shifter is one of the best in the business.” — Newsweek
The Civic Si bridges the gap between standard commuter sedans and high-strung performance cars like the Civic Type R. It's more powerful than the standard Civic, but not as aggressive or unyielding as something like the Type R. Essentially, the Civic Si could do track-day duty on the weekends if you wanted it to, but it could be a comfortable daily driver too.” — Edmunds
What’s New for 2025
Changes to the sport-focused Honda Civic Si are relatively minor for the 2025 model year. This year, the Civic Si now comes standard with upgraded infotainment software featuring Google built-in technologies, a 10.2-inch digital gauge cluster, and heated front seats. Visual updates include a new front and rear fascias, LED headlights and taillights, and a new Urban Gray Pearl exterior color. Finally, Honda has re-worked the suspension tuning and also offers high-performance summer tires as an option on the 2025 Civic Si.
Honda Civic Si Features
A Practical Driver’s Car
At the intersection of efficiency and exhilaration is where you’ll find the dynamic Honda Civic Si. Standard power comes in the form of a potent turbocharged 200-horsepower 4-cylinder engine paired to a close-ratio 6-speed manual transmission. Even more impressive, this combination can deliver up to an astounding 37 MPG highway fuel economy** to help you get the most out of every mile. Selectable drive mode settings including Normal, Individual, and Sport modes allow you to adjust the drive characteristics of your Civic Si to match your personal preferences. There’s also a helical limited-slip differential to help transfer the potent performance of the Civic Si to the road surface and minimize traction loss.
Athletic Styling
The Honda Civic Sedan was already an attractive car but the Si takes the idea even further, with a number of touches that set the Si apart from other Civic models in the lineup. From the back, you’ll immediately notice the chrome exhaust finishers and the gloss black decklid spoiler. The 18-inch matte black alloy wheels, which are only available on the Si, also let you know that you’re not looking at an ordinary Civic. Lastly, the Si badges on the front and back make absolutely certain that the message gets across. Shoppers can also choose from a wide range of bold exterior colors that further contribute to the race-inspired look of the Honda Civic Si.
Interior Comfort
While it might be normal for other performance versions of cars to sacrifice comfort for the sake of some extra speed, that isn’t necessary with the Honda Civic Si. You get all of the passenger space of the Civic Sedan, and even the Si-exclusive racing-inspired sport seats offer up comfort alongside the extra support you want for high-speed cornering at a track day. You can let in just the right amount of fresh air or light with the One-Touch Power Moonroof. And to round it off, the Civic Si comes with a new 12-speaker Bose Premium Sound System featuring Centerpoint surround sound technology, a real delight for the ears.
Active Safety Technology
With the new generation of the Civic Si, Honda has introduced a whole host of new technologies not previously offered on the Si. This is part of the Honda Sensing® suite, and it includes the Collision Mitigation Braking System™, Road Departure Mitigation System, Blind Spot Information with Cross Traffic Monitor, Adaptive Cruise Control, and the Lane Keeping Assist System. There is also a Multi-Angle Rearview Camera, which gives you the option of normal, top-down, or wide angle for the absolute best view when in reverse. Since even the most experienced drivers can use some assistance from time to time, the Honda Civic Si has your back with a comprehensive collection of active safety features.
