Honda has totally revamped its entire Civic lineup for the latest model year, sticking to a familiar shape but adding new touches throughout to give the Civic Si Coupe a fresh design inside and out.

The Civic Si Coupe enjoys a shorter length than the sedan model, and thanks to the redesign, the C-pillars also stretch further toward the rear of the vehicle compared to the previous generation to better complete the flowing one-motion appearance. If the lines of the car itself don't do enough to convey the fun and excitement to be had in the Si Coupe, Honda also added the availability of a new Sunburst Orange Pearl paint color that change in appearance depending on sunlight conditions.

Despite the "all-new" status, only the Civic Si and Hybrid models were lucky enough to be gifted entirely new engines. For the Si, Honda's sportiest Civic, the difference was .4-liters of added displacement that added just four horsepower, but more importantly, 31 lb-ft of torque.

While the peak numbers being larger is of course a welcome change, the real key changes in power are found in the availability of said power. The outgoing model required 7,800 rpms to hit its peak horsepower and 6,100 rpm for peak torque, now the Civic Si engine requires just 7,000 rpm for peak hp and 4,400 rpm for max torque. This change in the usable power band equates to a much more street-friendly driving experience.

This upgraded engine - a transplant from the Acura TSX - is mated exclusively to a six-speed manual transmission and benefits from a helical-type limited-slip differential (LSD) to get power to the ground.

Unique styling abounds on the Civic Si Coupe to convey its sporty nature, ranging from more menacing front and rear fascias, side skirts, a body-color deck lid spoiler with an LED center brake light, fog lights and a chrome exhaust finisher. Wheels come at a sporty 17-inches with 215/45R17 tires, with summer tires optional exclusively on the Si Coupe (not available on the Si sedan).

Inside, Honda continued its heavy dose of sport with bolstered perforated cloth sport seats with suede-like trim and red stitching as the main attraction, accented by a matching leather-trimmed and red stitched steering wheel and gearshift knob. The unique touches are extended to several pieces of aluminum accents, including the shift knob base and pedals.

The latest Civic Si Coupe also features a new "intelligent" Multi-Information Display (i-MID) that includes an exclusive Power Monitor (as one of its screens) that can indicate the percentage of total horsepower generated by the engine. Honda also added a Sequential Rev-limit Indicator in the upper instrument panel to show when the i-VTEC high-lift camshaft profile is engaged, as well as to show incrementally when the engine redline is approached and reached.

The Honda Civic Si Coupe 's safety features include two-row side curtain airbags, dual-stage, multiple-threshold driver's and front passenger's airbags, driver's and front passenger's side airbags, Vehicle Stability Assist (VSA), anti-lock braking (ABS) with Brake Assist and a new Motion Adaptive Electric Power Steering system that helps the driver steer in the ideal direction to mitigate oversteer or understeer situations.
