Built for drivers who want more than a commuter car, the 2026 Honda Civic Type R is our most powerful production hatchback. Honda Van Nuys near Los Angeles, CA is here to walk you through the performance features that put it in a class of its own.
Power Delivered on Demand
At the heart of the Honda Civic Type R is a turbocharged 2.0-liter inline four-cylinder engine with a 16-Valve DOHC VTEC® valvetrain, pushing 315 horsepower and 310 lb-ft of torque. That torque arrives between 2,600 and 4,000 rpm, meaning strong, usable power is on tap well before the tachometer climbs. A 7,000-rpm redline and an integrated LED shift light indicator make sure drivers never leave anything on the table.
A Chassis That Means Business
The Honda Civic Type R rides on a dual-axis MacPherson strut front suspension and multi-link rear setup, paired with an Adaptive Damper System that adjusts in real time. Four Dynamic Drive Modes — Comfort, Sport, Individual, and +R — let drivers shape the car's character to match the moment. Brembo® 4-piston aluminum front brake calipers and 265/30/ZR19 Michelin® Pilot Sport 4S tires provide the grip and stopping confidence to back up the engine's output.
Track-Ready Tech
The 2026 Honda Civic Type R includes the Honda LogR® Datalogger System, a built-in performance tool that records vehicle data to help drivers analyze their times on a closed course. A 9-inch color touchscreen, 10.2-inch digital instrument cluster, and Bose® 12-speaker premium audio round out a cabin that keeps drivers informed and connected. Honda Sensing® is also standard, bringing the Collision Mitigation Braking System™ (CMBS™), Road Departure Mitigation System™, and Lane Keeping Assist System™.
