Powertrain Options and Availability
All regular Civics had 1.7-liter four-cylinder engines, but ratings varied according to model. A 115-horsepower version went into DX and LX models, while the economy-oriented HX got a 117-hp engine and the EX four-cylinder made 127 horsepower. Honda's Civic Si hatchback, introduced for 2002, held a dual-overhead-cam 2.0-liter engine that produced 160 horsepower. Either a five-speed manual or four-speed automatic transmission could be installed in DX, LX and EX models, but the HX used a continuously variable transmission as the alternative to manual shift, and the Si was manual-only. The 2003 Civic Hybrid used a gasoline-electric powertrain, with either manual shift or Honda's continuously variable transmission.
