2023 Honda Civic Si Exterior
From the image renderings, you have to admit that the 2023 Honda Civic Si is a good-looking ride. The stylish is handsome. And just like the previous models, the SI would be coming in both coupe and sedan. The front side comes with a revised and unique fascia, having a blacked-out style between the air intakes and headlights.
Naturally, when it comes to style, the Si can’t be compared to Civic Type R. The overall look would be eye-catching but more restrained. The other obvious changes would include a black roof, appealing rear spoiler, sporty-spoke bespoke wheels design, a rear bumper, black wing mirrors, and also central exhaust system.
