The transmission options for the 2007 Civic depend on the model: most gasoline Civics used a five-speed manual or a five-speed automatic; the Civic Si was equipped with a six-speed manual; and the Civic Hybrid uses Honda’s Integrated Motor Assist (IMA) system rather than a conventional automatic.
Transmission options by model
The 2007 Civic lineup offered multiple configurations depending on trim. Below is a breakdown by model category.
Gasoline Civics (DX, LX, EX)
Transmission options for the gasoline Civics (DX, LX, EX) in 2007 were offered as either a manual or automatic gearbox.
- 5-speed manual transmission (5MT)
- 5-speed automatic transmission (5AT)
For most drivers in this lineup, the choice came down to preference for a manual driving experience or a traditional automatic depending on trim and options.
Civic Si
The high-performance Si used a different setup.
- 6-speed manual transmission (6MT)
The Si was not offered with a factory automatic in 2007, making it a manual-only model.
Civic Hybrid
The Civic Hybrid did not use a conventional automatic or CVT. It uses Honda’s Integrated Motor Assist (IMA) hybrid system, paired with a unique hybrid drivetrain.
- Integrated Motor Assist (IMA) hybrid system; not a standard automatic transmission
In other words, the hybrid version combines the gasoline engine and electric motor with a hybrid drive rather than a traditional automatic gearset.
Summary
In sum, the 2007 Honda Civic line offered multiple transmission choices: manual and automatic options on most gas models, a six-speed manual on the Civic Si, and a distinctive IMA-based hybrid system for the Civic Hybrid. Always verify the exact transmission specification on any used car, as trim, region, and optional packages can affect what was installed.
