The Honda Civic is the best-selling family car in Canada, but there’s much more to the lineup than everyday driving convenience. The Civic Si adds explosive performance to take the model to new heights.

Sleek and Stylish Design

From a single glance, it’s clear that the Civic Si is aimed firmly at the performance market. Although it shares an underlying profile with the regular Civic sedans, extras such as chunky dual exhaust outlets, 18-inch matte black wheels, and a trunk-mounted rear spoiler add an extra layer of dynamism that sets the Si apart from the sedan crowd.

Genuine Sports Power and Performance

The Civic Si boasts high-end sports engineering to match its sleek looks. Under the hood lurks a beefy 1.5L turbo engine with direct injection, pushing out a punchy 200 horsepower and 192lb-ft of torque. Unusually for a modern vehicle, there’s no automatic transmission in sight, but the six-speed manual box with rev-match control is a perfect choice for those who want to make the most of the Si’s performance potential.

To complete the powertrain, three drive modes are available to power the front-wheel drive, with options for smooth cruising, high-performance sport, and an individual mode you can tailor to your preferences.

Sport-Oriented Interior

The sports appeal of the Si is also clear once you climb behind the wheel, with striking touches such as black and red seats with contrasting red stitching adding to the track-ready atmosphere. Aluminum-trimmed sport pedals combine comfort with fast responses, while extras, including heated front and rear seats and a heated, leather-wrapped steering wheel, add a luxurious edge.

Premium Interior Technology

As befits a car sitting at the top of its lineup, the Si’s range of interior technology is second to none. A 9-inch infotainment touchscreen is standard, powering advanced features, including in-built navigation and smartphone integration through Android Auto and Apple CarPlay. Charging duties are handled by a total of four USB ports spread across both rows, with a wireless pad adding extra convenience in the front.

Connectivity for multiple devices is provided by an integrated Wi-Fi hotspot facility, while the included Bose sound system with 11 speakers plus subwoofer offers premium audio quality from sources including Bluetooth streaming and HD/Satellite radio.

Active Safety and Driver Assist

Lastly, with all the power available under the hood, it’s reassuring to know that the Civic Si includes the latest in active safety and driver-assist technology to keep you in full control. Key standard highlights include:

• Forward collision warnings with automatic avoidance and mitigation braking
• Lane-departure warnings with lane-keep assist
• Road-departure warnings and mitigation
• Blind-spot information system with rear cross-traffic alerts
• Adaptive cruise control
• Automatic traffic sign recognition

To add to the above features, the Civic Si includes a wide range of automatic safety systems that work to improve handling without getting in the way of your drive, including electronic brake force distribution, vehicle stability control, and four-wheel anti-lock braking.
