Honda Pauses Civic Si and Integra Manual Production Post-2026

Honda announced this week that it will pause production of the Civic Si and the manual transmission variant of the Acura Integra A-Spec after the 2026 model year. The company stated that these models are being put on hold but confirmed plans for their eventual return to the market. This decision impacts two performance-oriented models that cater to enthusiasts who prefer manual gearboxes.

The pause in production is expected to affect the availability of these specific trims for the 2027 model year and potentially beyond. Honda has not provided a specific timeline for when the Civic Si and manual Integra will be reintroduced. The company cited a need to re-evaluate its product lineup and manufacturing strategies as the primary reason for this temporary suspension.

Both the Honda Civic Si and the Acura Integra A-Spec with a manual transmission have been popular choices for drivers seeking engaging driving dynamics. The Civic Si, a long-standing performance variant of the Civic, and the Integra, which revived the nameplate with a focus on sportiness, represent a segment of the market that values driver involvement. The discontinuation of manual options in many mainstream vehicles has made these models stand out.

Honda has indicated that the pause is not a permanent end for these models. The company's statement suggests that future iterations or updated versions may be developed. This approach allows Honda to potentially refine the offerings or integrate them into broader platform strategies. Further details regarding the future of the Civic Si and manual Integra are anticipated to be released by Honda at a later date.
