Engine Specs and Fuel Economy

The 2025 Honda Civic Type R retains its signature turbocharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine, now enhanced for even greater performance. A redesigned turbocharger and a more efficient exhaust system boost its output to an impressive 315 horsepower and 310 lb-ft of torque. Honda has also introduced key upgrades, including a larger radiator for improved cooling and enhanced brake performance, ensuring consistent capability during spirited driving. Staying true to its front-wheel-drive layout, the 2025 Honda Civic Type R houses a dual-axis strut front suspension, which minimizes torque steer and maintains precise control during hard acceleration. Speaking of acceleration, the Type R hauls from 0-60 mph in just 4.9 seconds, while still earning an impressive fuel economy rating of 22 mpg city and 28 mpg while on the highway. The Type R also houses a 4-mode drive system, which includes +R, Individual, Sport, and Custom modes. When in +R mode, an LED shift light above the all-digital interface will help you gauge shift points all while keeping your eyes on the road.

Interior and Exterior Highlights

The 2025 Honda Civic Type R boasts a clean, modern interior design that prioritizes function while still flaunting its signature sporty flair. Eye-catching details like red accents, faux carbon-fiber trim, and the iconic, ultra-supportive red-trimmed front seats ensure the cabin feels as dynamic as the car's performance. The driver-centric cockpit features wide sightlines, with the hood, side mirrors, and rear spoiler all designed to aid in visibility and awareness of the vehicle's position. Technology is at the forefront of the interior, with a 9-inch infotainment touchscreen that houses Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. We love the row of shift light indicators above the driver’s digital gauge cluster, which adds a performance-focused touch, helping you time gear changes perfectly without hitting the redline. Enjoy your drive even more with the crystal clear clarity of the 12-speaker Bose premium sound system, which features Centerpoint surround-sound technology.

Despite its performance-inspired attitude, the 2025 Honda Civic Type R remains practical, offering the same generous passenger and cargo space as the standard Civic hatchback. This makes it an ideal dual-purpose vehicle, seamlessly blending track-day thrills with everyday usability.

Exterior highlights include a 48% larger grille opening than the 2024 generation, which is paired with a wide and low hood vent that helps to maximize engine cooling while minimizing airflow resistance. Side underbody spoilers, integrated rear fenders, and front fender outlet help shuttle airflow and keep consistent air pressure around the wheels so you maintain optimal stability when coming in and out of turns. Air resistance control and increased downforce come compliments of the track-tested rear spoiler and diffuser designs. The 19-inch Matte-Black alloy wheels are lightweight and highly rigid, and feature a reverse rim design that enhances stability at high speeds. We love the wide opening of the hatchback, which features a hatch composed completely of resin as opposed to steel, making it 20% lighter than conventional designs and more easy for you to use.
