Honda Civic Type R
The 2025 Honda Civic Type R is a four-door hatchback that comes in one Base trim only. It has the same engine as last year's model which makes 315-horsepower and 310 pound-feet of torque, mated to a crisp 6-speed manual transmission with rev-matching technology, a 4-mode Drive system that changes the steering, throttle, suspension and transmission according to the mode selected, a Honda Data logger system, and 4-wheel Brembo disk brakes all around. Handling is supported by a dual-axis strut sport suspension with adaptive dampers which helps keep the wheel planted on the ground, and a rear wing for more downforce. Standard 19-inch alloy wheels come wrapped in Michelin Pilot Sport 4S performance tires.
Interior features as well as tech options include uniquely designed Sport bucket front seats with a red/Black simulated suede with red stitching, power windows with auto up/down for driver and passenger, LED headlamps and LED taillamps, and dual zone automatic climate control.
A 9-inch touchscreen will continue to come standard, along with a 10.2-inch fully digital and configurable instrument cluster. A Bose premium sound system with 12-speakers and a subwoofer also comes standard, along with a Honda satellite linked navigation system with voice recognition, wireless apple CarPlay/Android auto, satellite radio, 2 USB ports, wireless device charging, and you also get hotspot capability.
Important safety features include driver and passenger front airbags, knee airbags, and front side airbags, a rearview camera, active lane departure warning, forward collision mitigation, traffic sign recognition, blind spot warning, rear collision warning, front pedestrian detection, and auto hi-beam system.
