Year to Year Changes
1994 Honda Civic:
Dual airbags were installed for '94. A VTEC edition joined the del Sol lineup, with a 160-horsepower twin-cam engine that featured variable-valve timing. The VTEC came only with a 5-speed manual gearbox, and rode a tauter suspension that included stiffer stabilizer cars and springs, and 195/60VR14 performance tires.
1995 Honda Civic:
Antilock braking became standard in the VTEC del Sol, but was unavailable in other models.
1996 Honda Civic:
A 106-horsepower, 1.6-liter engine went into the base S model for 1996, with either 5-speed manual shift or an automatic transmission. All del Sols gained a redesigned front bumper and air dam.
1997 Honda Civic:
No change was evident for 1997, which turned out to be the del Sol's final season.
