When Honda revealed the Si variant of the 11th-generation Civic, people were up in arms about features missing from the U.S. model. Canadian-spec cars got heated seats, they got an all-digital dash, but American buyers had to shell out for the Integra to get the same level of amenities. Now, with the 2025 facelift, that gap is gone.
2023 Civic Type R: How It Looks
The United States-spec Civic Si now gets those heated seats and that digital dash, but Honda’s changes don’t stop there. The facelifted car has a redesigned front end, new tail lights, updated infotainment, and a tweaked suspension to match the newly-stiffened chassis.

Yes, a stiffer chassis. Honda reinforced the B pillars and rear door sills, which the company claims necessitated adjusting the Civic’s dampers. The company claims it’ll “amplify driver enjoyment,” though whether the difference is at all noticeable remains to be seen.
The Civic Si’s infotainment has also been updated to include the Google Built-In app suite, allowing the use of some apps without a phone connected. Buyers only get three years of data, however, do don’t go relying on that functionality when you buy one used in a decade. This is Jalopnik, I know how you all operate.
The updated Civic Si’s price jumps by $850, from $29,100 to $29,950, and “summer tires” — no brand or model specified — can be had for another $300. The pre-facelift Civic was already a joy to drive, and this update looks like it’ll keep that going.
