Honda Introduces 2022 Honda Civic Si

After presenting the sedan and hatchback variants of its new Civic in recent weeks, Honda has now unveiled the sporty Si variant. Available only in four-door configuration, it inherits a less (!) powerful version of the group's 1.5L turbocharged 4-cylinder engine. The good news is that it's still served exclusively with a 6-speed manual transmission.

In terms of styling, the car sits a little closer to the ground and looks more road-hugging as a result. Compared to the previous generation model, the new model is in fact longer and wider and shorter in height.

As for that drop in power Honda assures us it shouldn’t really be felt. Why? Because the car benefits from a new single flywheel that’s 26-percent lighter than the dual mass unit used with the 10th-generation Si. The 30-percent reduction in flywheel inertia allows for quicker throttle response (with the 1.5L engine), making power more accessible.
