2022 Honda Civic Si Will Start At $27,300, Gets EPA-Rated At 31 MPG Combined

Honda USA announced today that the Civic Si will hit showrooms with an MSRP of $27,300, excluding a $1,015 destination charge. Optional summer tires will add another $200 to the price.

The automaker unveiled the 11th-generation Civic Si late last month and claims it is the best-handling, best-equipped, and most fun-to-drive Civic Si ever. It features a turbocharged 1.5-liter four-cylinder engine that delivers 200 hp (202 PS/149 kW) and 192 lb-ft (260 Nm) of torque.

For comparison, Volkswagen announced yesterday that prices for the 228 hp (231 PS/170 kW) and 258 lb-ft (349 Nm) Jetta GLI will start at $30,995 ($31,990 w/destination). Both are offered with a manual transmission, though the Civic Si gets the Type R’s rev-matching system, which responds in 430 m/s in Sport mode.

The Honda also makes power in a wider rev range, which the automaker argues makes its performance more accessible than in the previous Civic Si. Moreover, the engine has a snappier response thanks to the new flywheel that’s 26 percent lighter than in the outgoing model.

Adding to the performance are stiffer springs and dampers, along with other strategic enhancements to improve the steering feel. The front sport seats, meanwhile, offer better shoulder and thigh support. A seven-inch color LCD instrument display provides the driver with information, while the infotainment sports a nine-inch HD color touchscreen along with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto support.

Along with the price, Honda also announced the fuel economy ratings for the 2022 Civic Si. According to the EPA, drivers can expect reasonable consumption of 27 mpg (8.7 lt/100 km) in the city, 37 mpg (6.3 lt/100 km) on the highway, and 31 mpg (7.6 lt/100 km) combined.

The 2022 Civic Si is set to hit showrooms before the end of this year.
