About the 2025 Honda Civic Type R
11th-generation Civic Type R (FL5), third U.S. model year; introduced for 2023 and largely unchanged for 2025.
Honda positions the Civic Type R as the peak factory-built Civic: a hatchback engineered for serious driver involvement without giving up day-to-day usefulness. Its core appeal is a strong turbo engine, a manual transmission, sharp front-wheel-drive handling, and real cargo space. Compared with other sport compacts, it stands out for steering feel, shifter quality, track-ready cooling and chassis hardware, and the fact that it still works as an everyday hatchback.
The 2025 Civic Type R is sold as one track-ready hatchback rather than a range of milder and more aggressive trims. It pairs a 315-hp turbocharged 2.0-liter engine with a six-speed manual, adaptive suspension, a limited-slip differential, and Brembo front brakes. Inside, it has deeply bolstered front seats, a 9-inch touchscreen, wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, navigation, and built-in driver data tools.
