In the 2016 Honda Civic lineup, 0–60 mph times vary by trim and transmission. The fastest is the Si, at about 6.3–6.5 seconds; turbo and non-turbo versions typically fall in the mid-to-high 7s or low 8s depending on configuration.
The 2016 Civic lineup featured three main powertrain options: a 2.0-liter naturally aspirated engine in base and mid trims, a 1.5-liter turbo in higher trims, and a performance-focused Si model with a high-output setup. Transmission choices also affected acceleration, with the Si using a 6-speed manual and most other trims paired with a CVT or a manual where applicable.
Performance by trim
Below are approximate ranges reported by testers for common configurations. Values are representative, but real-world results can vary by testing method and conditions.
- 2016 Civic Si — about 6.3–6.5 seconds 0–60 mph (manual transmission)
- 2016 Civic 1.5L turbo (EX-T, Touring) — roughly 7.0–7.5 seconds 0–60 mph (CVT; some testers report near 7.0s)
- 2016 Civic 2.0L non-turbo (LX/EX/EX-L) — around 8.0–8.5 seconds 0–60 mph (CVT)
Note: These figures come from multiple independent tests and can vary with weather, altitude, tire condition, and the testing course.
Summary
For most drivers in 2016, expect roughly 6.3–6.5 seconds if you own or test the Si, about 7.0–7.5 seconds with the 1.5L turbo in non-Si trims, and around 8–8.5 seconds for the 2.0L base trims. The exact number depends on the trim, transmission, and testing conditions. The Civic’s varied lineup means there isn’t a single, universal 0–60 time for the model year.
