The Honda Civic Si (2022–present) is the Civic that delivers 200 horsepower. The high-performance Civic Type R pushes power higher, at about 315 hp, while other Civic variants generally use less than 200 hp.
Where the 200 hp comes from
In the current generation, Honda tunes the Civic Si’s turbocharged engine to reach 200 hp. It is paired with a 6-speed manual transmission, emphasizing driving engagement.

Powertrain details
The 200 hp in the Si comes from a turbocharged 1.5-liter inline-4 engine with direct injection, tuned for higher output, paired with a 6-speed manual transmission. This setup is designed to deliver a more engaging, performance-focused driving experience compared with the rest of the Civic lineup.
Other Civic power options
Beyond the 200 hp Si, the Civic lineup includes lower-output turbo variants, a naturally aspirated base engine, and a hybrid option that prioritizes efficiency. The Civic Type R remains the high-end performance benchmark at ~315 hp.
