Civic performance has never looked better. The all-new Civic Type R features sleek, aerodynamic styling and a performance-focused cockpit, with enhanced visibility and a track-ready new Driver Information Interface.
Aerodynamics
Engine and Brake Cooling
A 48% larger grille opening than he previous Civic Type R and a wide, low hood vent help maximize engine cooling while minimizing airflow resistance. Optimized brake ducts help keep front brakes cooler through multiple laps of circuit driving.
Aerodynamics
Stability
Side underbody spoilers, front fender outlets, and new integrated rear fenders help guide airflow and maintain consistent air pressure around the wheels, for optimal stability in and out of turns.
Aerodynamics
Downforce
New rear spoiler and diffuser designs, including die-cast aluminum wing stays, help increase downforce and control air resistance.
Design
19-Inch Matte-Black Wheels
Lightweight and highly rigid, the aluminum alloy wheels feature a reverse rim design to enhance stability at high speeds.
Design
Grille
In addition to the Type R symbol and red H-badge that signify the connection to our performance heritage, the new grill features gloss-black accents that coordinate with the rear spoiler and diffuser to carve out a unique identity.
Design
Hatch
The all-resin hatch is 20 percent lighter than a conventional steel hatch, and provides a wide opening for loading your gear into the cargo area.
Cockpit
Visibility
The all-new Civic Type R was built to create wide sightlines and minimize blind spots. The hood, side mirrors, fenders and rear spoiler are all designed to promote visibility and awareness of your vehicle’s position on the track or the road.
Cockpit
Driver Information Interface
With the 4-mode drive system, you can customize the all-digital display to see critical data in your line of sight. In +R mode, an LED shift light above the interface helps you gauge shift points without taking your eyes off the track.
Cockpit
Sport Seats
Heavily bolstered to help keep you in place during hard cornering, the enhanced sport front seats are also designed to give you better maneuverability for steering and shifting.
Cockpit
Sport Pedals
Sport pedals give you a firm foothold and add a bold, racing-inspired detail to the cockpit.
Cockpit
Serial Plate
Every Civic Type R is unique, with an individually numbered serial plate to mark it’s place in the limited production run.
Cockpit
Bose Premium Sound System
Hear your track-day soundtrack in crystal clarity with the new 12 speaker Bose premium sound system, featuring Centerpoint surround-sound technology.**Bose and Centerpoint are registered trademarks of Bose Corporation.
Driven by our relentless determination to keep improving, we not only created the most powerful Civic ever, but also the most agile. And with its 4-mode drive system-including +R, Individual, Sport and Comfort modes-you can instantly tune it for the track or the street.
Powertrain
Turbocharged Engine
With a turbocharged and intercooled 2.0-liter VTEC engine that delivers 315 horsepower and 310 pound-feet of torque, the all-new Civic Type R is not only more responsive than the previous generation, but also boasts a higher power-weight ratio.
Powertrain
6-Speed Manual Transmission
For a better balance while breaking into corners, the 6-speed manual transmission features rev-match control, which keeps engine and vehicle speeds in sync during downshifting. A new Civic Type R-exclusive shift link mechanism has shorter throws and makes shifitng even smoother.
Powertrain
Triple-Outlet Exhaust
Whether you’re ripping down a straightaway on the track or cruising through the city, the center-mounted triple-outlet exhaust’s Active Exhaust Valve strikes the perfect chord. Each mode of the 4-mode drive system features its own specially turned exhaust note.
Suspension
Dual-Axis Front Suspension
Accelerate through corners with maximum confidence, thanks to the unique dual-axis MacPherson strut front suspension that helps minimize torque steer and deliver precise steering response.
Suspension
Multi-Link Rear Suspension
With high-rigidity components, the rear suspension offers stability and support for a linear handling response.
Suspension
Adaptive Damper System
As you steer through corners, the adaptive damper system helps control roll and pitch to give you a uniform, direct steering feel. With the 4-mode drive system, you can instantly tune the dampers for performance or comfort.
Handling
Brembo Front Brake Calipers
Renowned for their braking performance and lightweight construction, four-piston Brembo calipers compliment the two-piece front rotors for optimal stopping power.
Handling
Limited-Slip Differential
A helical limited-slip differential helps minimize front-wheel slippage for more precise steering when accelerating and cornering.
Handling
Electric Power Steering
The dual-pinion, variable-ratio electric power steering offers confidience at high speeds and a precise feel at low speeds. And with the 4-mode drive system, you can instantly tune the steering to your drive, from +R mode at the track to Comfort mode on the highway.
Handling
Sport Tires
Measuring wider than the previous-generation Civic Type R tires- the sport tires provide improved grip while cornering.
Handling
Lightweight Components
Every gram counts on the track, which is why virtually every millimeter of the Civic Type R features lightweight components, from the flywheel and crankshaft to the resin-made hatch, aluminum hood and sport seats.

The Honda Sensing Suite
Honda Sensing is a suite of safety and assistance features designed to make driving easier and help protect you and your passengers. When activated, these features use sensor inputs to automatically provide alerts, and can also provide steering and braking assistance as needed.

ACE Body Structure
The Advanced Compatibility Engineering (ACE) body structure is a Honda-exclucive body design that enhances occupant protection and crash compatibility in frontal collisions.
Honda Sensing is a suite of safety and assistance features designed to make driving easier and help protect you and your passengers. When activated, these features use sensor inputs to automatically provide alerts, and can also provide steering and braking assistance as needed.
The Collision Mitigation Braking System (CMBS)* can alert and assist you when there’s a risk of collision with a detected vehicle or pedestrian in front of you. The system can automatically apply brake pressure when it determines that a collision is unavoidable. * CMBS cannot detect all objects ahead and may not detect a given object; accuracy will vary based on weather, speed, and other factors. System operation affected by extreme interior heat. System designed to mitigate crash forces. Driver remains responsible for safely operating vehicle and avoiding collisions.
The Road Departure Mitigation System (RDM)* is designed to help you stay on the road. If you cross over detected lane lines without signaling, RDM can provide necessary steering assistance to help you return to your lane or keep you from leaving the roadway entirely.* Road Departure Mitigation only alerts the driver when lane drift is detected without a turn signal in use and can apply mild steering torque to assist driver in maintaining proper lane position or to slow the vehicle’s departure from a detected lane. RDM may not detect all lane markings or lane departures; accuracy will vary based on weather, speed and road condition. System operation affected by extreme interior heat. Driver remains responsible for safely operating vehicle and avoiding collisions.
Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC)* with Low-Speed Follow is an intelligent cruising system that adapts to the speed of vehicles detected ahead so you don’t have to. When a detected vehicle slows to a stop, it can stop your Honda as well. After stopping, a tap on the throttle re-engages ACC. * ACC with Low-Speed Follow cannot detect all objects ahead and may not detect a given object; accuracy will vary based on weather, speed, and other factors. ACC should not be used in heavy traffic, poor weather, or on winding roads. Driver remains responsible for safely operating vehicle and avoiding collisions.
The Lane Keeping Assist System (LKAS)* helps make highway driving easier, when you’re cruising on the open road. While your hands are on the wheel, the system can help keep your vehicle centered in a detected lane by making subtle steering adjustments. * LKAS only assists driver in maintaining proper lane position when lane markings are identified without a turn sign aline use and can only apply mild steering torque to assist. The system may not detect all lane markings; accuracy will vary based on weather, speed, and road condition. System operation affected by extreme interior heat. Driver remains responsible for safely operating vehicle and avoiding collisions.
