2025 Honda Civic SI

The 2025 Civic is Honda's compact car, offered as a sedan or hatchback and available with a hybrid powertrain for the first time. It competes with the Toyota Corolla, Mazda3, and Hyundai Elantra, standing out with its sharp handling and upscale cabin. The Civic drives with a composed, planted feel that makes it genuinely enjoyable on a back road, not just a sensible commuter. Inside, the cabin is roomy for the class, with a clean, modern design and quality materials that belie its price point. The SI sits above the standard Sport and hybrid trims, trading some fuel economy and a softer ride for a manual gearbox and a limited-slip differential. Its 1.5L I4 makes 200 horsepower and 192 lb-ft of torque, sent through a six-speed manual to the front wheels; the rev-match system makes heel-toe downshifts automatic.
