About Civic Type R
The 2025 Civic Type R is a hot hatch built for drivers who want daily usability with unapologetic performance.
Performance that stands out
It’s powered by a turbocharged 2.0-liter VTEC engine delivering 315 horsepower and 310 lb-ft of torque.
A six-speed manual transmission with rev-match control puts you firmly in control.
Honda’s dual-axis MacPherson front suspension and adaptive dampers (with modes like Comfort, Sport, Individual, +R) keep this front-wheel-drive car planted and agile.
Precision braking comes courtesy of Brembo four-piston front calipers, with Michelin Pilot Sport 4S tires gripping the road.
You get a four-mode drive system, including a track-ready +R setting.
Speed and real-world pace
Honda rates 0-60 mph in under 5 seconds—some sources say ~4.9 s.
A Nürburgring lap record for front-wheel-drive models showcases its serious track credentials.
Practical yet focused
Fuel economy is respectable for its level—about 22 mpg city / 28 mpg highway / 24 mpg combined.
Starting at $45,895 MSRP, it’s the pinnacle of the Civic lineup.
Inside and Tech Features
A cockpit made for driving
The cabin is driver-first: sporty red-accented seats, a leather-wrapped steering wheel, and aluminum shift knob give it character.
You get a 10.2-inch digital instrument cluster and a 9-inch infotainment touchscreen with wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto.
A Bose 12-speaker sound system and the Honda LogR datalogger (which tracks lap times and performance metrics) add refinement and performance insight.
Smart safety and tech
The car uses the Honda Sensing suite: collision mitigation, adaptive cruise, lane-keeping assist, blind-spot monitoring, and more.
Plus, conveniences like a reversing camera with multiple angles, wireless charging, and an intuitive control layout improve daily life.
