The Honda Civic Si Coupe is dead. Honda confirmed on Friday that the two-door sports car will not return for the 2021 model year, part of a reorganization of the automaker’s U.S. lineup.
Automotive News It first reported on Friday that all variants of the Civic Coupe would be discontinued, along with the hatchback Fit and manual transmission option for the Accord.
Honda spokesman Davis Adams later confirmed to Motor authority that the civic coupe, including the Si, will be discontinued. However, the Civic Si sedan and Type R hatchback will not go away and will maintain their manual transmissions.
While the Civic will retain its manual transmission in the future, Honda will rule out the manual option for the Accord by 2021. The manual is only available at the Sport trim level of the 2020 Accord.

The current-generation Civic debuted for the 2016 model year, so the time is drawing near for a redesign. A new version is expected to debut next year as a 2022 model. With the coupe gone, that will leave the sedan and hatchback as the two remaining body styles for this generation, but we don’t know what Honda has in store for the next generation. Chances are it doesn’t include a coupe.
The next-generation Civic Type R is expected to maintain the current model’s hatchback body style and 2.0-liter turbocharged in-line engine, but it can add electrification to the mix. Production of the Type R (and other Civic hatchback models) will move from the United Kingdom to North America.
