The current Honda Civic model that delivers around 200 horsepower is the Civic Si.
Across generations, the Civic lineup ranges from roughly 180 horsepower in most turbocharged trims to well over 300 horsepower in the high-performance variants. The 11th-generation Civic Si, introduced in 2022, is the closest to 200 horsepower in today’s lineup, while the Civic Type R sits at about 315 horsepower. Historical notes show the 10th-generation Si produced 205 horsepower. The following breakdown compares current trims and provides context for how the 200-horsepower mark has moved through the Civic family.
Power figures by generation and trim
Note: The following figures reflect US-spec models and typical configurations for recent years; exact numbers can vary by market and model year.
- LX/EX/Sport (11th generation, 2022–present): approximately 180 horsepower from the 1.5-liter turbo engine.
- Civic Touring (11th generation, 2022–present): approximately 180 horsepower from the same 1.5-liter turbo engine.
- Civic Si (11th generation, 2022–present): 200 horsepower from a tuned 1.5-liter turbo engine (approximately 192 lb-ft of torque).
- Civic Type R (11th generation, 2023–present): 315 horsepower from a turbocharged 2.0-liter engine.
In the current lineup, the Si is the closest to 200 hp among the standard trims; other trims are either slightly below that mark or substantially above it with the Type R.
Historical context: 10th generation and earlier
During the 10th generation (roughly 2016–2020), the Civic Si produced about 205 horsepower, a touch higher than the present Si. Base LX models and many 1.5L turbo variants typically produced around 174–180 horsepower, depending on year and market. The Civic Type R has consistently been the high-performance apex of the Civic range, with horsepower well above 300.
For readers weighing power targets, the most direct answer remains: if you want a modern Civic near 200 horsepower, the Civic Si is your match, followed by the Type R for higher performance, and the base trims for lower output.
Summary
Bottom line: In today’s Civic lineup, the Si is the model closest to 200 horsepower, delivering about 200 hp in the 11th generation. The Type R exceeds that with 315 hp, and the base trims sit around 180 hp. Historically, the 10th-generation Si offered about 205 hp.
