Thirty years in, and Honda is still finding ways to sharpen the ultimate hot hatch. The newly revealed 2027 Civic Type R keeps its legendary 315-horsepower turbo engine and mandatory 6-speed manual, but tightens up the track engineering while adding some highly requested daily comforts.
What to expect for 2027:
• Dialed-In Aero: A redesigned front fascia and deeper front splitter increase downforce and engine cooling, paired with optimized +R mode suspension damping to keep you planted.
• Heated Red Sport Seats: For the first time, those iconic high-friction red racing seats are heated, making early morning canyon runs a lot more comfortable.
• Smarter Integration: Google built-in (featuring Google Gemini) is now standard directly from the dash for seamless hands-free connection.
• Meteorite Gray Metallic: A heavy-hitting new paint option joins the classic Type R lineup.
