Bland cars suck the joy out of commuting, leaving enthusiasts yearning for a genuine connection between car and driver. The 2026 Honda Civic Si reignites that passion with precisely engineered performance features that transform mundane trips into engaging experiences. At Honda Van Nuys, we help rediscover the thrill of manual transmissions and responsive handling, and the 2026 Honda Civic Si delivers authentic performance without sacrificing everyday practicality.
Turbocharged Power That Builds Intensity
The 2026 Honda Civic Si unleashes 200 horsepower and 192 lb-ft of torque through its 1.5-liter turbocharged i-VTEC® engine, creating a satisfying rush of acceleration that pins you gently into the bolstered seats. Peak torque arrives at just 1,800 rpm, ensuring immediate response when merging onto the 101 Freeway or passing slower traffic on mountain roads.
Six-Speed Manual That Rewards Skill
Part of this car’s driving dynamics can be attributed to its six-speed manual transmission, featuring short-throw shifter action and perfectly weighted clutch pedal feel. The gear ratios are optimized for both spirited driving and fuel efficiency, allowing relaxed highway cruising at 2,400 rpm in sixth gear while providing close-ratio performance in the first four gears for aggressive acceleration.
Sport Suspension That Reads the Road
Exclusive sport-tuned suspension components transform the 2026 Honda Civic Si into a corner-carving machine that remains comfortable during daily commutes. Adaptive dampers provide stiffer compression rates than standard Honda Civic models, reducing body roll while maintaining compliance over broken pavement.
Track-Ready Braking Performance
High-performance brake components provide consistent stopping power with excellent pedal feel. Ventilated front discs measure 12.3 inches in diameter, delivering fade-resistant performance during aggressive driving while maintaining smooth operation in city traffic.
Limited-Slip Differential for Maximum Traction
The mechanical limited-slip differential helps transfer power to the wheel with the most grip, improving acceleration out of corners and reducing torque steer during aggressive driving. This advanced system automatically balances power distribution between the front wheels, providing enhanced traction during spirited acceleration and maintaining composure through challenging road conditions.
