Taking the standard model as a starting point, a body kit consisting of a new front bumper, a modified rear bumper, a front spoiler and a rear spoiler finished in gloss black has been designed.

The exterior mirror caps are also finished in high-gloss black. All these components make it possible to improve the aerodynamics of the vehicle. In addition, at the rear, the new exhaust system with two perfectly integrated exits is obvious. It is also important to note that it has front and rear light clusters with LED technology.

As standard, it is fitted with 18-inch alloy wheels with ten spokes and in a specific matte black color for the Si version. Similarly, a Blazing Orange color is available that is exclusive to this version.

The interior and technology of the new 2022 Honda Civic Si
If we venture inside the new Civic Si we will be surrounded by an environment in which sportsmanship is breathed. The first thing that will catch our attention are the sports front seats with integrated head restraints and references to the version in question. Other equally interesting details are the sports pedals and the red stitching of the upholstery.

The instrument cluster features a seven-inch information display that shows data that is highly relevant to driving.

The equipment also includes a Bose premium sound system.

The engine of the new 2022 Honda Civic Si
Design and equipment aside, it's time to take a look under the hood. The new Civic Si is powered by a 1.5-liter VTEC Turbo four-cylinder petrol engine that develops an output of 203 PS (200 hp) and 260 Nm of maximum torque. Therefore, it is less powerful than the outgoing model. However, Honda points out that the power and torque delivery has been improved. And to this we must add a refined chassis set-up.

The aforementioned engine is associated with a new six-speed manual gearbox and a front-wheel drive system. The lever is new and stands out for its rigidity. In addition, the routes of the changes are shorter, which favors a more sporty driving. And if that was not enough, this transmission has the rev adjustment system. A technology used by the Honda Civic Type R.

Honda notes that the new Civic Si benefits from a body that improves torsional stiffness by 8%. The tuning of the chassis is decisive. The Japanese manufacturer has also used resources to optimize the suspension. The dampers have been adjusted and the stabilizer bars are thicker at the front and rear to minimize body roll.
