The Civic Type R is a performance-level car, so you know you’re in for a motorsport-inspired drive. From the moment you turn the ignition, you’ll know that you have mighty engineering at your command.
The heart of the Honda Civic Type R is its aggressive engine. Its 2.0L turbocharged motor is a shot of adrenaline waiting to be tapped. As you rev the engine, you’ll have 315 horsepower and 310 lb-ft of torque that’s yours to use as you see fit.
For a true track-level drive, the Civic Type R also comes standard with a 6-speed manual transmission with Rev-Match control. You’ll engage with your car more as you feel each shift and become one with your ride.
Thanks to refined engineering, you’ll be ready to lead the pack with authority. You can fine-tune your vehicle’s performance with the standard 4-mode drive system, allowing you to find a setting to suit the situation. Whether you’re in downtown traffic or have long stretches of open highway, your Civic Type R can rise to the occasion.
When you step into the Civic Type R, you’ll have a cockpit befitting a performance machine. Everything from design to comfort evokes that feeling of an expertly made vehicle that will take the road by storm.
When you and your riders enter the cabin, you’ll find plenty of room to stretch out. The 99 cubic foot passenger volume lets everyone stretch out and settle in for the adventure. There’s enough space for everyone to claim for themselves.

In the front row, you’ll be treated to a truly aggressive cockpit design. The high-bolstered sport seats are made to match the strength of the Civic Type R, including red and black suede effect fabric. The double red stitching solidifies these seats as fit for a performance car.
Everyone inside can enjoy the ride even more thanks to dual-zone automatic climate control—simply select your preferred temperature and let the system handle the rest. The red ambient LED lighting sets the mood for intensity as well—it’s an interior that constantly reminds you that you’re the one in control.
There’s obviously plenty of muscle built into the Civic Type R. You’ll also find plenty of brains, too—there’s advanced tech throughout to cater to your every need.
As a Honda vehicle, the Civic Type R has a legacy of safety to live up to. That’s why each model comes equipped with Honda Sensing® for added peace of mind. This collection of driver-assistive technologies keeps an eye out for you, so you remain alert and aware of what’s on the road. Among the included standard systems are:
From the driver’s seat, you’ll have access to your favorite apps, music, and more from the 9-inch color touchscreen. It features customization options to make it uniquely yours, as well as smart shortcuts for whatever you use most often. The standard wireless Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™ make your infotainment even more convenient.
If you’re looking to amplify your favorite playlist, you can turn to the standard Bose® premium audio system for unparalleled quality. Its 12 speakers and subwoofer will turn your ride into a traveling concert that you control.
The Civic Type R is designed for an all-around great ride, and it features smart design around every corner. When compared to the Toyota GR Corolla, you’ll find much more space for riders to stretch out, an ample boost in power, and a high-quality premium audio system that blows others away.
