EP3 Marks the Later Years of the Sixth Generation
While the sixth generation of the Civic arrived in 1995, the EP3 chassis specifically refers to the 2001‑2005 Civic Si, a later iteration of that generation.
Generational Milestones Leading to EP3
The Civic’s lineage includes major redesigns in 1979, 1983, 1987 and 1991, with the fourth generation debuting in 1988 featuring a new engine. These successive updates paved the way for the sixth‑generation platform that houses the EP3.
