FYI: Honda is set to launch the updated 2025 Civic Si this summer, featuring minimal but impactful enhancements, starting at $31,045.
Honda Civic Si Gets Subtle Yet Significant Updates for 2025
The eagerly anticipated 2025 Honda Civic Si, known for its impressive blend of affordability and performance, will soon hit the market with a starting price of $31,045, including a $1,095 delivery fee. This marks an $850 increase over the previous model, yet promises enhanced features and improvements.
Pricing and Power
The 2025 iteration of the Civic Si maintains its 1.5-liter turbo four-cylinder engine, producing a reliable 200 horsepower. One notable improvement is the enhanced rev-matching system in the standard six-speed manual transmission, now capable of managing downshifts from second to first gear. Delivering power exclusively to the front wheels, this system ensures smooth and responsive handling.
Structural and Chassis Enhancements
Honda has incorporated several reinforcements into the body structure, particularly at the base of the B-pillars and around the door sills, significantly increasing rigidity. Coupled with fine-tuned suspension dampers, these changes enhance the driving dynamics, offering a more responsive and satisfying driving experience.
Exterior and Tires
Honda offers an optional high-performance summer tire package for an additional $300, although the standard model comes equipped with all-season tires on 18-inch wheels. Visually, the 2025 Civic Si features a refreshed front fascia and a hexagon-pattern grille, coupled with darker tail lights. For the first time, the striking Urban Gray Pearl paint finish is available.

Standard interior features have also seen improvements. Heated front sport seats, sport pedals, red contrast stitching on the steering wheel and door panels, and a premium 12-speaker Bose audio system come as standard.
