2017 is the year of the Civic, with several iterations of the best-selling nameplate making their debut this year, including the all-new Hatchback and the Type R. Now, the long-awaited Civic Si gets its turn in the spotlight—learn more below!
Sleek and Sporty From Bumper to Bumper
Whether you prefer the sporty sedan or classic coupe, the all-new Civic Si is sure to blow you away with its bold design. This iteration takes a more aggressive approach, adding new 18-inch wheels, low-profile 235/40 tires, 12.3-inch front brake rotors, a chrome exhaust finisher, and a front bumper with larger lower intakes and a splitter. Sedan models also enjoy new larger side vents and a decklid wing spoiler with an integrated LED brake light, while the coupe adds a raised spoiler.
Performance Upgrades That Raise the Bar
Under the hood, the Si packs a turbocharged 1.5-liter inline-4 engine, which is mated to a six-speed manual transmission and a front-wheel drive system. Total output comes in at 205 horsepower (5,700 rpm) and 192 pound-feet of torque (2,100 rpm).
The 2017 Si has also shed some weight, which drivers are sure to notice when they take it for a spin around Camelback Road. On top of that, the Si features upgraded chassis components, including a new sport-tuned suspension with two-mode adaptive dampers, adaptive power steering and a limited-slip differential.
You’ll Never Want to Leave the Cockpit
Aluminum sport pedals, bolstered front sports seats, red upholstery stitching, a leather-wrapped steering wheel and shift boot, faux-carbon-fiber trim—these are just a few of the sporty interior accents that Phoenix Civic fans are sure to fall in love with. On top of that, the Si comes with a variety of comforts and conveniences, including push button start, capless fuel filler, dual zone climate control, ambient LED lighting, a tilt-and-telescoping steering wheel, heated front seats and cruise control.
On the technology front, the Si shows off a new 7-inch driver information interface, which displays a variety of information from throttle and brake application to lap time. The car is also equipped with a 10-speaker premium sound system and a 7-inch touchscreen with voice control and app-based navigation. Smartphone integration via Apple CarPlay and Android Auto is also standard.
