2025 Honda Civic Si From Every Angle

The biggest exterior change for the 2025 Civic Si is its front facia. Honda tweaked it a bit for this refresh, adding a bit of a more aggressive, more sculpted look. It’s still very handsome if ya ask me.

This little badge means business. If you see this on a Civic, you know you’re in for a good time. Sure, the Type R exists, but this is far more attainable for 99 percent of people.

A real highlight of the Civic in general is its interior. It has no right to be as nice as it is, yet here we are. Honda added a few sportier touches like red stitching. red trims and red seats to up the ante. Overall, it’s just a really nice place to spend your time.

I really dig this little kink at the bottom of the rear quarter window. It just gives the whole car a more aggressive look.

The 2025 Civic Si’s carry-over 1.5-liter turbocharged four-popper “only” makes 200 horsepower and 192 lb-ft of torque, meaning it’s outgunned by most of its competition. Don’t worry though, some dynos are reading a lot more power than advertised out of this engine. Even if they weren’t the Si’s sub-3,000-pound curb weight and fantastic handling characteristics make it a performance winner regardless.

The Civic Si keeps automatic single-zone climate control for 2025. That’s nice. What’s really fabuluous, though, is that we finally are getting heated seats in the Civic Si. Eat your heart out, Canada. the U.S. gets to warm up our butts now, too. This is proof that bullying works.

I just love the way this car looks, man. I don’t know. Maybe it isn’t for everyone, but I just really dig it.

Another big win for 2025 Civic Si buyers is this screen. The gauge cluster is now a full 10.2-unch screen. Before it was half digital and half analog. That sucked, and I’m very happy Honda remedied it. Adding to the fun is the series of shift lights that flash and beep as you go up and down the rev range. It’s just fun to watch.

All Civic Sis come with a gloss-black rear spoiler. I don’t know how much it really does, but it adds a nice little sporty element to the rear of the car. I can’t say no to that.

Under that spoiler, you’ll find a fairly capacious trunk with 14.4 cubic feet of cargo space. That might now sound like a ton, but it’s not bad for a car with a footprint as small as the Civic Si’s. It is a Honda after all. Adding to the practicality are two pull tabs that can drop the rear seats from the trunk for when you’ve got extra junk you’d like to take home with you.

These seats are so supremely comfortable. Sure, it would be nice if they were electric rather than manual, but that’s really not such a big deal, is it? It helps keep the weight down, and that tradeoff is worth it to me. Plus, once again, they’re heated!!!

The backseat of the Civic Si isn’t huge. No compact sedan’s is, but it’s not bad. Honda says rear passengers are treated to 37.1 inches of headroom, 37.4 inches of legroom and 56 inches of shoulder room. It was more than enough for my 6'1" body to sit semi-comfortably behind my driving position.

You’ll be hard-pressed to find a car this cheap that handles this well and fits this much shit in it. Sure, the Toyotabu is out there, but it’s barely practical as a car. This could really be your only vehicle, and you can still have a ton of fun in the corners. I’ll be honest... I want one.

The Civic Si has redesigned 18-inch wheels for 2025. They look nice enough. I don’t have any real issues with their design. I just wish they weren’t black. I need this trend to die out.

I wasn’t going to go to SEC Country and not listen to “Delta Dawn.” Luckily for me, this was super easy thanks to the Civic Si’s easy-to-use infotainment system and wireless AppleCarplay.

The 2025 Civic Si’s six-speed manual transmission is as good as ever. It’s really what Honda does best. This year, the Si has auto-rev matching on every downshift, even 2>1. That wasn’t the case on Sis of old, and it means you can trick people into thinking you’re a much better driver than you really are.

Out back, not too much changes for the 2025 Civic Si. Sure, it gets slightly darker taillights, but everything else is just about the same. I’ve got no issue with that, though. The 11th-generation Civic is, and always has been, a great-looking little car.

I really love what Honda decided to do with this mid-cycle refresh. It knows it has a really good car on its hands with this Civic Si, so it didn’t want to mess with a good thing. Small changes and a few added features make all the difference for this car.
