First Honda announced the 2015 CR-Z is similar to the 2014 model year but $150 more expensive, now we're informed the same recipe was applied to the 2015 Honda Civic Si sport compact model. In the latter's case, the 2014 versus 2015 model year base price step-up stands at a mere 100 bucks.
This applies to both the Coupe and Sedan variants of the Civic Si with the six-speed manual transmission. As such, the 2015 model year holds a manufacturer's suggested retail price of $22,890 (excluding the $790 destination charge) for the Coupe and $23,090 for the Sedan. Truth be told, Honda's engineers operated sizable upgrades with the 2014 Civic Si.
If we're to highlight the most important of those 2014 model year updates, we'll mention a mild restyling for the Coupe, new driver assistive features, a retuned suspension, more power and interior refinements. If you want some summer tires, then add a modest 200 bucks to the starting price of the 2015 Honda Civic Si. You want satellite navigation as well? Then prepare an extra $1,300 over the sticker price of the Summer Tires trim level, which is quite the rip-off in our book.
With 205 horsepower and 174 lb-ft (236 Nm) of torque churned from the 2.4-liter four-cylinder engine, EPA-rated fuel economy stands at a respectable 22 mpg city, 31 mph highway and 25 mpg combined for both body styles. For 2015, the Civic Si Coupe and its four-door Sedan brother are equipped with a sport-themed premium interior, a rearview camera, a 7-inch touchscreen media system and LaneWatch.
For those that aren't accustomed to LaneWatch, this is a safety system that provides a broader view of the passenger-side roadway displayed on the 7-inch media system whenever the right turn signal is engaged or the LaneWatch button is pressed. Furthermore, Honda LaneWatch can show cars from one or two lanes to the right and cars up to 50 yards behind the 2015 model year Honda Civic Si.
