2022 Honda Civic Si Sedan’s Updated Specs & New Features

Honda is touting their new 4-door, Si flavoured compact as the “best-handling and most fun-to-drive Civic Si ever.” Based on the new specs and updates we’re seeing, this seems pretty accurate. From the improved 200-hp turbo engine with rev-matching and a sport-tuned suspension, to the new 12-speaker Bose sound system and 9-inch colour touchscreen which both come standard.

We got our first look at the new 11th-generation Civic Sedan back in April, and the 2022 Civic 5-Door Hatchback in the fall. But add the sportier Si moniker to the equation, and the compact Honda sedan becomes a bonafide high-performance, budget-friendly 4-door.

An improved turbo engine, more efficient 6-speed manual, and better handling for 2022

First, Honda updated the 1.5L turbo engine for quicker response times and improved handling, all thanks to broader power curves and a lighter flywheel. The 6-speed manual stick shift gains improved shifting, borrowing the Civic Type R’s rev-matching system which now comes standard in the Si sedan.

A retuned suspension paired to a 60-percent stiffer steering system torsion bar promises much better responsiveness and on-road drivability. Add to the performance mix a limited-slip differential, Si-specific design cues with improved aerodynamics, and the Drive Mode system which now receives a new customizable Individual mode, the 2022 Civic Si sedan is arguably the best high-performance sedan for budget buyers (and why Honda is targeting younger generation with this updated model).

Also new for 2022 is the Civic Si-exclusive Blazing Orange Pearl exterior colour you see in these pictures.

Interior changes

Inside the compact car, expect Si-specific body stabilizing sport seats with dynamic red accents and red contrast stitching. Along with a new 7-inch colour instrument display with a digital tachometer on the left side, a multi-information display in the centre and a physical speedometer dial.

Honda ramped up the audio setup with what they’re calling “the best factory audio system in Civic Si history” with a new, standard 12-speaker Bose premium sound system featuring Bose Centerpoint 2 technology and SurroundStage digital signal processing.

Other worthy cabin standards include 9-inch HD colour touchscreen and wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto integration.

Release date

The 2022 Civic Si Sedan hits North American dealerships sometime late 2021.
