24 hours ahead of its official unveiling, the warmer Civic is showing its rear end.
Honda revealed the 11th generation of its most beloved nameplate in April. The new Civic debuts with a slightly updated design that focuses on tech improvements. The next step in the evolution of the Civic is the introduction the warmer Si version. A teaser image has been released by the Japanese manufacturer.
However, the single teaser image published today contains very important information. Tomorrow will see the debut of the new Civic Si. We will learn everything about this more powerful model. The new image shows the rear of the car, with a red Si badge and darkened taillights. An oval exhaust pipe is integrated into the lower bumper diffuser. A gloss black decorative strip is located above the chrome pipe.
It is not yet clear if the new Civic Si will use a new combustion engine. However, it’s safe to assume that the 1.5-liter turbo-four unit from the previous-generation Civic Si will continue. We can expect a slight increase in power over the 205 horsepower (153 Kilowatts) or 192 pound-feet (226 Newton-meters), of the previous Civic Si.
However, we do know that the new Civic Si will only be available as a sedan with an manual transmission. Honda has decided to offer both the Civic Hatchback as well as the Civic Sedan in three-pedal configurations. The Civic Sedan will be available with a turbo engine and a manual transmission. The Civic Type R will also be manual-only.
The new Civic Si will be the replacement for the CTR and regular models when it goes on sale later in the year. Information leaked earlier this year suggests that the 2022 Civic Si will be available at dealerships by the end of the month. Tomorrow we’ll have a full view of the warmer model, so please visit Motor1.com within 24 hours to learn everything you need to know about 2022 Civic Si.
