2026 Honda Civic - Complete Review
If you're craving a compact car that doesn’t just get you from A to B but makes every drive more exciting, the 2026 Honda Civic delivers. Now available at Image Honda in Hamilton, ON, the newest Civic Si raises the bar for sport compacts with turbocharged performance, sleek style, and cutting-edge tech. Whether you’re commuting across town or carving up country roads, this is a vehicle built for people who love the road just as much as the destination.
Power and Precision Under the Hood
At the heart of the 2026 Civic Si is a 1.5-litre Direct Injection DOHC turbocharged 4-cylinder engine. This compact powerplant churns out up to 200 horsepower and 192 lb.-ft. of torque, giving you the punch you want without sacrificing efficiency. It’s paired with a short-throw 6-speed manual transmission, complete with rev-match control, giving drivers a hands-on, engaging driving experience that’s hard to find these days.
Need even more confidence behind the wheel? The Drive-by-Wire Throttle System™ helps optimize throttle response by analyzing real-time driving data, like RPM and road speed, so your acceleration feels smoother and more intuitive.
Drive Modes for Every Mood
The 2026 Civic Si comes equipped with four distinct drive modes. Normal is ideal for daily driving, ECON helps you save fuel on longer hauls, Sport dials up responsiveness for those backroad joyrides, and Individual lets you fine-tune your own setup. Whether you want comfort or corner-carving, this Civic is ready to adapt.
And speaking of cornering, the MacPherson strut front suspension and independent multi-link rear suspension help keep the Civic Si balanced and agile, especially when tackling twisty roads around Hamilton and beyond.
Sleek, Sporty, and Purposeful Design
The Civic Si doesn’t just feel sporty, it looks the part too. With a reimagined front end, matte black 18-inch aluminum-alloy wheels, and striking black accents, it’s easy to see this car was built for performance. Around back, the dual chrome tailpipe finisher, exclusive Si badging, and low-profile rear spoiler complete the aggressive look.
Inside, you’ll find Si Sport seats trimmed in black and red with bold contrast stitching that continues across the steering wheel, shift knob, and doors. Details like aluminum-trimmed sport pedals and a heated leather-wrapped steering wheel elevate both comfort and style. And yes, the front and rear outboard seats are heated too, making Canadian winters more bearable.
Stay Connected with Smart Tech
The Civic Si keeps you in control with an intuitive 9-inch colour touchscreen, complete with wireless Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™. A 12-speaker BOSE® Premium Sound System turns every playlist into a concert, while built-in Amazon Alexa and Google integration let you control apps, send messages, and play music hands-free.
Need a boost on the go? The available wireless charging pad keeps your devices powered without the cable clutter, and multiple USB-C ports keep everyone connected in the cabin.
