Folks, I just got back from driving a couple of new Honda Civics, the facelifted 2025 versions of the Si and Hatchback Hybrid. They were both brilliant little cars in their own ways, but I know what would make them even better: combining the two.

If you want to buy a 2025 Honda Civic Si, it's important to know how much horsepower it has and its transmission type. Here's what you need to know.

The latest update largely leaves the Civic alone with the exception of small styling tweaks and new hybrid options

Honda’s smooth, powerful, and efficient two-motor hybrid powertrain and enhanced driver-assistance technology make the well-equipped Civic Hybrid a pleasant daily driver.

The quick-not-fast Civic is a relative bargain, but can the latest version still escape the shadow of the almighty Civic Type R?
