Model change on September 4, 1995. Known as "Miracle Civic." The engine of the main model 3-door "VTi" / Ferio "Vi" has evolved into a 3-stage VTEC that realises low fuel consumption and high output by integrating the conventional VTEC and VTEC-E, and the automatic transmission is Honda Multimatic. It was equipped with a CVT called (HMM) ("EL" and "SiR" are 4-speed ATs). The comfort of the rear seats, which was a drawback of the previous 3-door car, was improved by increasing the body size and making the wheelbase the same length as the Ferio (2,620 mm).
Received the third Japan Car of the Year award in this generation.
Production is 218,998 units.
August 22, 1997, added sports type "Type R." At the same time, the 3-door "SiR II" and Ferio "Si II" became "SiR" and "Si" respectively, and the conventional race-based models "SiR" and "Si" were abolished.
