2024 Model Shown Honda Civic Type R

If you’ve always dreamed of having a performance vehicle that can pull double duty as a daily driver, the 2025 Honda Civic Type R is for you. Rightly labeled a “hot hatch,” the Honda Civic Type R is made to perform equally well at the track and on the roadway. Nicely equipped, spacious, and versatile, the hot hatch is waiting for you to slip behind the wheel at your local Honda dealership, Pacific Honda.

Powertrain

Given its performance bent, the Honda Civic Type R naturally has a powerful engine under its hood. The hatch’s powerplant is a turbocharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine that produces 315 horsepower and 310 lb-ft of torque. A six-speed manual transmission is the only available gearbox, and it provides a fully engaging experience in the driver’s seat. Front-wheel drive and a limited-slip differential give the Honda Civic Type R even more immersive dynamics.

Four-Mode Drive System

Selectable drive modes are standard for the Honda team’s hot hatch. Comfort mode softens the dampers to provide a smooth, compliant ride. Sport mode flattens the dampers and enables the rev-match system to allow for instant downshifts.

Pressing the +R button firms the dampers even more, which further improves the hatch’s handling. Selecting the individual mode allows you to customize your driving experience by using the toggle on the nine-inch touchscreen. You can save your preferences from among 486 available combinations.

Cabin Space

As a hatchback, the Honda Civic Type R has ample room for passengers and gear. The four-passenger vehicle has 42.3 inches of legroom in the first row and 37.4 inches in the back. Behind its second row, the hatchback has 24.5 cubic feet of cargo room, which is a class-leading number.

Standard Features

New Honda vehicles show off the latest tech features and active safety equipment. Inside the cabin of the Honda Civic Type R, you’ll find a 10.2-inch digital gauge display, a Wi-Fi hotspot, and Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™ connectivity. On the safety front, the following features are standard:

  • Automatic high beams
  • Driver attention monitor
