These instructions apply to the Honda Civic Mk7 (ES/EP) 2001-2005.
For other models, please choose your vehicle here.
Full specifications for the seventh-generation Honda Civic (2001-2005), by engine — the 1.7L D17 (DX/LX 115 hp, EX 127 hp VTEC) and the 2.0L K20A3 Si. Note the US Si was sold only as a three-door hatchback, so its dimensions differ from the sedan. Fluids are from the owner manual.
Each column is one specific vehicle — a single engine or motor and, where shown, body style. Dimensions and several weights are specific to that body and drivetrain; other body or powertrain versions differ, so match the column to your own vehicle.

Sources: Owner's manual. Where an owner’s manual or homologation figure exists it takes precedence; workshop data fills only what those omit.
A dash (—) means we haven’t verified that figure for that variant yet. Figures are US-market. GVWR isn’t published by the maker for some passenger cars, so it may be blank; your door-jamb label is the authority for weights.
