Although Honda is finally blessing the American market with the hardcore Civic Type R hatchback, the Japanese automaker hasn’t forgotten about the Civic Si that has represented the pinnacle of Civic performance in the U.S. since the mid-1980s. The 10th-generation Honda Civic was introduced in 2016, but Honda waited until 2017 to release the Honda Civic Si sedan and Si coupe. With the 2017 model year marking the 10-year anniversary of the Si sedan, we tested a 2017 model to see how it’s progressed.
For most of its lifetime, the Si has featured a unique powertrain. This time, the 10th-gen Si gets a tweaked version of the 1.5-liter turbo I-4 found in more pedestrian Civic models as well as the CR-V crossover and redesigned 2018 Accord sedan. With an engine related to the mainstream model, is the sport-injected 2017 Honda Civic Si as special as its predecessors?
In the Si, the 1.5-liter turbo features a 10.3:1 compression ratio, direct injection, 16-valve DOHC with dual variable timing control, and a single-scroll 11-vane turbo with an internal wastegate producing up to 20.3 psi of boost. Power is rated 205 hp at 5,700 rpm and 192 lb-ft of torque from 2,100–5,000 rpm. Unlike previous sport-injected Civics, the new turbo 1.5-liter has a relatively low 6,500-rpm redline. (In fact, the base Civic’s 2.0-liter I-4 makes peak power at 6,300 rpm and has a 6,800-rpm redline.) The engine is mated to a six-speed manual transaxle with a helical limited-slip differential.
