Honda Civic
Canada’s best-selling compact car returns with no upgrades for 2021. That’s because a brand new generation is coming for 2022. Honda has decided to kill the Civic Coupe and the sporty, 205-horsepower Civic Si. Customers who opt for the sedan can choose between a naturally aspirated 2.0-litre engine rated at 158 horsepower and a turbocharged 1.5-litre engine producing 174-180 horsepower depending on the model. The latter is your only option in the Civic Hatchback… except for the 306-horsepower Type R.
