Performance
Under the hood of the 2025 Honda Civic Si lies a standard 1.5L turbocharged 4-cylinder engine, offering up to 200 horsepower¹ and 192 lb.-ft. of torque².

When it comes to comfort and practicality, the 2025 Honda Civic Si and Honda Civic Type R each bring thoughtful features to the table.

The Civic Type R, meanwhile, provides seating for four, offering a more performance-focused layout while still maintaining comfort. Both models are equipped with a standard 60/40 split fold-down rear seatback, allowing you to expand the cargo capacity whenever the need arises.

Exterior
Style is an essential part of the driving experience, and both of these Civic models make a strong impression as you drive to Whitemarsh Park. The Civic Si is fitted with standard 18-inch Matte Black alloy wheels that add a bold touch, while the Civic Type R steps up the presence with standard 19-inch tires designed to emphasize performance. Both trims feature LED headlights as standard, ensuring sharp visibility when night falls. To further enhance convenience, heated power side mirrors come standard, working effectively against frost or fog. Rounding out the sporty touches is a Gloss Black decklid spoiler, also standard on both models, giving each Civic a dynamic appearance to match its spirited performance.
