North America:

 

The 8th Generation Civic features a new "two-tier" instrument panel. Digital speedometer, coolant temperature, and fuel are displayed at the top, while the lower tier displays the tachometer. The brightness on these displays can be adjusted. The Civic Si changes the backlight from blue to red, while the Hybrid features IMA Assist and Charge indicators on its display.

 

The North American market Civic Si is a special trim level designed to offer a sportier experience than the standard Civic. It offers a more powerful engine, 6-speed manual transmission, sport seats, and different styling. The engine is a variant of the Honda K-series engine: a 2.0-litre, DOHC four-cylinder design with Honda's i-VTEC variable valve timing system. It produces 197 hp (197 PS/147 kW), 57 more than the Civic sedan.[1] A 350 Watt, 7-speaker sound system, including subwoofer, is also included along with a helical limited-slip differential, close ratio 6-speed gearbox, upgraded brakes, 17" model-specific alloy wheels with available Michelin summer tires, leather-wrapped steering wheel and shift knob, aluminum racing pedals, fabric and special details on interior of doors and unique Si cloth seats finished with a tasteful tuner-style rear wing and red backlit gauges and ambient lighting. The Civic Si coupe debuted a few months after the initial launch of the 2006 models, with the Civic Si sedan following in 2007 (2008 in Canada). Beginning with the 2007 US Civic Si, VSA (Vehicle Stability Assist) and Traction Control has been offered.

 

In the fall of 2007, a slight variant on the standard Si sedan model, the Honda Civic Mugen Si sedan, was introduced for the 2008 model year. While Mugen Motorsports is known for its performance heritage, the Mugen Si project is more concerned with cosmetic alterations to the standard Si. Honda has announced that a total of 1000 Mugen Si cars will be produced for the American market,[7] and lists the following as "exclusive standard features" of the car:

 

Japan, Asia (except Mainland China), Australia, South Africa and Russia:

 

 

For the Japanese domestic market, South Korean, Taiwan, Indian, Pakistani, ASEAN, Middle Eastern, Australasian, Russian South African and Canary Islands: Las Palmas de Gran Canaria markets, the new Civic has slight but noticeable styling differences from the American version. While the arcing line sweeping across the front fascia is retained, the main headlights dip away from the main arc for a more sporty appearance. The front bumper also has more vents with a steeper angle and sharper corners than the U.S. Civic. Meanwhile, the taillights are more reminiscent of the Integra, with the main round brake lights dipping slightly down into the indicators. By contrast, the taillights of the U.S. Civic resemble those of an Audi A4. On the interior side, the Asian-market Civic has contrasting two tone colour scheme. The three-spoke steering wheel from the American Civic Si and the European hatchback is standard.

 

Engines include a 1.8 litre SOHC i-VTEC engine that produces 140 bhp (104 kW; 142 PS) at 6300 rpm and a 2.0 litre DOHC i-VTEC(K20Z2) engine that produces 155 bhp (116 kW; 157 PS) at 6200 rpm, both are mated to either a 5-speed manual or 5-speed automatic (with paddle shifting available on the 2.0 L model) with drive by wire throttles. There is a 1.6 litre variant available only in Singapore to enter the cheaper Cat. A (1,600 cc and below) vehicles in the vehicle numbers curbing system in Singapore, while maintaining a higher standard than the 1.3 L variant. It uses an SOHC i-VTEC engine, similar to that of the 1.8 litre variant. It produces 125 bhp (93 kW; 127 PS) at 6200 rpm. For the hybrid, there is the 1.3 litre SOHC i-VTEC with the IMA (Integrated Motor Assist).

 

 

Europe:

 

The European Civic (FK/FN chassis) is offered primarily as 5-door and 3-door hatchbacks and produced in Swindon, UK. It has a different appearance and suspension compared to the American and JDM Civics.

 

Externally, the European model is the most aggressively styled; the sweeping front arc is maintained and a perspex cover resembling a lamp cluster replaces the grille. The rear tail lights are also similarly styled. Triangular accents are found front and back, with triangular fog-lamps in front and dual triangle exhaust tips at the back. The rear backglass is split into two levels, divided by a spoiler lip and the fuel filler cap is a race-inspired exposed metal effect cap. For the 5-door models, the rear door is hidden away, with the door handles tucked away at the corners of the rear windows, creating the illusion of a 2-door coupe.

 

Mechanically, the European Civic differs from the American and JDM variants in that it uses a simpler torsion beam suspension system for the rear wheels compared to the double-wishbone system in the American and JDM versions. The more compact suspension of the European Civic allows it to keep its large interior space, while reducing its length compared to its predecessor. Engines include a 1.4 litre i-DSI, the 1.8 litre i-VTEC(R18A2) shared with the American and JDM models (although the American and JDM cars have this engine available as R18A1), and a 2.2 litre i-CTDi (N22A2) turbodiesel. A 6-speed manual transmission is available across the range. An automated manual transmission, known as i-SHIFT is available for models with 1.4 and 1.8 litre petrol engines. A 2.0 litre i-VTEC (K20Z4) petrol Type-R high performance version is also available.

 

 

Thats just SOME of the main differences of the different versions of the car.
