Introduced in July 1991 The fifth-generation of the Honda Civic had a more wedge-shaped body and the length was increased to 257 cm (101.3 inches) for the two-door hatchback and 262 cm (103.2 inches) for the four-door sedan. The wagon was also dropped for overseas markets, while the previous generation station wagon continued in Japan. This generation of Civic used lightweight materials to create a fuel efficient economy car. In addition, the Si hatchback and coupe, ESi/EX (1.6L SOHC VTEC 125 PS) also provoked to the popularity of (relatively) high performance 1.6L I4 segment. In South Africa a unique model with the B18B3 from the Acura Integra RS was specially built to fill the gap left by the absence of the DOHC B16A VTEC engine in the range.

DX and LX models were aimed towards the economy conscious market. Most of the CX models had the D15B8 which is an 8 valve non-VTEC engine rated at 70 bhp (52 kW; 71 PS) and the VX had the D15Z1 (VTEC-E engine) capable of 92 bhp (69 kW; 93 PS). The EX and EX-V had the D16Z6 SOHC VTEC engine. The SiR was equipped with the 1.6L B16A with VTEC.

(93 hp VTEC SOHC) The D15B shares the same head as the US Civic SI (D16Z6) but a unique block, crank, and rods. the car shared the 1.5L I4 displacement of the other D15 blocks, but the rods were the same length as the D16's. Despite this, the crank and bearing sizes were not the same.
