On July 23, Honda announced it will launch a refreshed Civic Si in the U.S. in early August, with an aggressive new front design, improved dynamics and new standard features, including heated front seats and Google built-in.

The refreshed styling of the 2025 Honda Civic Si brings a more aggressive front fascia, new hex-pattern grille, and revised taillights with a darker appearance.

Civic Si’s VTEC 1.5-liter Turbo engine sends 200-hp and 192 lb-ft of torque to the front wheels through a standard helical limited-slip differential, complimented by a precise short-throw 6-speed manual transmission.

The Honda Sensing suite is standard on all 11th-generation Civic models, including Collision Mitigation Braking System with Pedestrian Detection, Adaptive Cruise Control and Lane Keeping Assist System, Forward Collision Warning, and Road Departure Mitigation incorporating Lane Departure Warning, with all Civic Sport models and Civic Si being equipped with Rear Cross Traffic Alert.

The 2025 Civic Si is produced exclusively at the Honda plant in Alliston, Ontario, Canada, with its turbocharged engine produced exclusively at the Honda engine plant in Anna, Ohio.

Reported on July 12, 2024, Honda Cars Philippines, Inc. (HCPI) ensured that its customers will not be affected by the consolidation of Honda’s Thailand manufacturing plants.

With the end of vehicle production at the Ayutthaya plant (that will become a parts manufacturing site), all the vehicle assembly, including the models for the Philippines, will be transferred to the Prachinburi plant by 2025 and not affect customer vehicle deliveries.

Currently, the Ayutthaya Plant is where HCPI sources the Accord, CR-V, and Civic.
