About Honda Civic SI
The Honda Civic Si is a sport compact trim level of the Honda Civic. In both Japan and North America, the Si (Sport Injected) trim level was introduced for the third generation Honda Civic. For the sixth and seventh generations, the trim was known as the SiR in Canada and elsewhere, and the Si trim was equivalent to the USDM EX model.
The Civic Type R was adopted as the Civic’s high-performance variant for the Japanese and European markets, beginning with the EK9 hatch for Japan in 1996 and the EP3 hatch for Europe in 2001. The Type R moniker was never used in North America until the 2017 model year, when the Honda Civic Type R was introduced. Previously, the Si label was the most prestigious in North America (except for Acura vehicles). The Civic Si stands in stark contrast to the more track-oriented and spartan Type R, which has less sound deadening and amenities in exchange for better performance. The Civic Si has been positioned as a more complete sport trim, with luxury features such as a sunroof and a seven-speaker audio system.
