Full specifications for the eighth-generation Honda Civic (2006-2011), by powertrain — the 1.8L R18 (140 hp), the 2.0L K20Z3 Si (197 hp) and the 1.3L IMA Hybrid. Fluids are from the owner manual; sedan dimensions shown.
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.
