The 2014 Honda Civic offers two main transmission options depending on the trim: a five-speed manual or a five-speed automatic, while the sporty Civic Si uses a six-speed manual only.
Transmission options by trim
The following breakdown explains which transmissions were available across the common 2014 Civic trims. Availability can vary by market and options.
- LX, EX, and EX-L (non-Si): 5-speed manual transmission or 5-speed automatic transmission with overdrive.
- Civic Si: 6-speed manual transmission only.
Note that Honda did not offer a continuously variable transmission (CVT) on the 2014 Civic in the U.S. market; the automatic transmission is a conventional 5-speed unit.
What this means for drivers
If you value fuel economy and an automatic, choose the LX/EX/EX-L with the 5-speed automatic. If you prefer a manual for driving engagement or performance, both the non-Si trims and the Si offer manual transmissions, with the Si providing a sportier 6-speed option.
Summary
The 2014 Honda Civic’s transmission lineup centers on two main options for most trims (5-speed manual or 5-speed automatic), with the high-performance Si model using a 6-speed manual only. There is no CVT for the 2014 Civic in the U.S. market.
