2025 Civic Specifications (Canada)

[chopsuey34]

Hi all, looks like Honda Canada quietly posted 2025 specs for the upcoming 11th gen model refresh about a month ago. Special thanks to reddit users Med1011998 & PNF2187 for digging up the specs and sharing (Honda Canada Corporate links posted below). Keep in mind that these are Canadian models, but insights can be made into the US market. No word yet on the refreshed Type R.

Civic Sedan and Hatchbacks lose 1.5T and gain Hybrid power.
1.5T is now Civic Si exclusive.

Civic Hybrid power will be 200HP, 232 ft-lbs (Honda Accord hybrid 204HP, 247 ft-lbs)
Civic 2.0 engine get a little bit more HP, but loses a few ft-lbs of torque.
Civic Hatchbacks lose manual transmission (not a surprise).

Canadian Civic Si doesn't receive many updates: USB-C ports, built in google and Alexa (following Accord), no more Sonic Grey Pearl which is replaced with Urban Grey Pearl, no more fog lights. This makes some sense as the Canadian Civic Si is the top of the line model compared to the other trims so Honda has less room to maneuver with the Integra.
-- No Si performance updates that I saw: no suspension, sway-bar, tire size, transmission, or engine updates.

Since this Canadian version isn't getting many updates, us Americans can only hope that Honda will update the American Si with a at least few of the goodies the Canadians get to bring it closer to parity. But with the Integra here, I'm not holding my breath. All I really want is a digital driver's dash.

- Overall, I'm kind of disappointed at the lack of performance upgrades, but with the production problems and Hybrid/EV investments Honda has been experiencing, it makes sense not to invest additional dollars into those upgrades. Honda probably forecasts enough demand that they don't need to update the Si much. Not sure if I should buy now or continue to wait for the 2025. Recent sticky-steering recalls and the like have convinced me to wait for the refresh, but we're probably not getting many new features.

I'm a little surprised that they using the higher HP hybrid setup to replace the 1.5T. It's so close to the Accord, it might eat into it's sales. Disappointing that the Si doesn't get at least a power bump. Perhaps they're assuming that enthusiasts will go to the aftermarket if they want more power.

EDIT: These change make it seem to me like the Si badge is likely over after this generation.

Yup, I think you're right. Looks like Honda is phasing out turbocharging in favor of hybridization. The next generation of Accord/CR-V/Civic will probably be full hybrid to meet Honda's electrification goals, which means no more ICE+manual.

This raises a question: how sporty will the new Type R and Prelude be since they're going to be hybrids? (assuming Honda brings the Type R back as a high performance hybrid?)

10+ years back, Honda had the CR-Z hybrid, which you could get a manual transmission. I think they'll have manual around for one more generation, in both the Prelude and Type R. It was mentioned on OG Honda site, Temple of VTEC, that some of the underpinnings of the Prelude will be straight from the Type R, but with a hybrid twist.

Seeing how the Civic hybrid has been a success over in Europe (at least in terms of fun to drive value), I think they already have everything they need.

Civic 2.0 engine get a little bit more HP, but loses a few ft-lbs of torque.

It's showing HP at 150. Its 158 currently. So HP from 158 to 150 and torque from 138 to 133.

Thanks for sharing the Canadian spec sheet. It seems to confirm the assumption that I had, that the updated Civic is dumping SiriusXM (as Honda did with the most recent gen Accord).

Honda said that the FL5 is the last purely ICE Type-R, so it makes sense that the 1.5t Si is the last of its kind as well. With the next gens of these vehicles becoming hybrids, I think the writing is on the wall that they won’t have manual transmissions either. Look at what Porsche did. Starting with the 2025 model 911 they will all be hybrids and NO manual trans option. Yup…that’s a BIG nail in the coffin for manual trans, maybe the final nail.

You sure all 911s will be auto? That was just the new Carrera they released, which has a low manual take rate. Other models could be manual. 70% of GT3s are manual.

I’d expect the new Type R will be manual hybrid.

It was in a press release from Porsche…which of course I can’t find it now. Paraphrasing, 2025 will be the first time a 911 has been released without a manual option. This includes all 911 models. I guess this doesn’t mean it isn’t possible they’ll have a manual later…but it sure is an ominous sign from one of the most traditional, performance car, manufacturers to not release their bread and butter car without an option for their most traditional gear box. Not to mention, all 911 versions will be hybrids. Read up on it. Porsche seems to be drawing a hard line in the sand starting in 2025.

I wouldn’t hold my breath on the next CTR having a manual. The (hybrid) NSX didn’t have a manual. I can’t think of any hybrid vehicles that have a manual trans. This leads me to believe that a traditional manual trans may not be compatible with a hybrid power train…or they haven’t figured out a good way to do it (yet).
