If your measure of a car is how much fun you can have behind the wheel, then the 2024 Honda Civic Type R may just be the perfect hatchback for you. But be careful. With racing-inspired looks and heart-pounding power, the Type R may just thunder away with your heart.

Turbocharged, Intercooled, and Thunderous

The heart of this hot Honda hatchback is a 2.0-liter intercooled, turbocharged, direct-injected, DOHC VTEC engine making an absolutely thrilling 315 horsepower and 310 lb-ft of torque. That engine is mated to a 6-speed manual transmission that uses rev-matching technology to make shifts smoother and easier while maintaining the sheer joy of a stick shift. The motor oil is even water-cooled for maximum efficiency even when you’re running hot.

Corners Like It’s on Rails

With a unique dual-axis MacPherson strut front suspension and multi-link rear suspension, the Civic Type R is meant to hurtle through corners and come out revving. An active damper system and rigid body construction help mitigate body roll and offer a tight and controlled cornering experience.

Stops on a Dime

How do you stop a hatch this hot? With power-assisted, ventilated, two-piece front and solid rear disc brakes, of course. And with Brembo 4-piston aluminum front brake calipers, not only will you come to a halt in no time, but you’ll also look fantastic doing it.

Race-Ready Styling, Inside and Out

The Civic Type R is designed to turn heads, even if the competition only ever sees it from behind. Red Hond badges front and back and the unmistakable Type R badges help differentiate the Type R, while its aggressive stance and style let everyone around know exactly what it’s built for. The gloss black wing spoiler isn’t just for looks; at high speed, it helps keep the nose to the ground, maximizing traction and performance.

Top Tier Tech

From the Drive-by-Wire throttle system to the vaunted +R driving mode, the Type R is just as brainy as it is brawny. The Honda LogR datalogger app has been expanded to offer even more extensive performance-tracking detail, letting you monitor vehicle status and track and score performance with instant feedback.

Of course, for the times you’re not on the track, there’s plenty of quality technology, too; a navigation system with voice recognition comes standard on the 2024 Type R, as does the Honda Sensing suite of driver-assist technologies, offering features like adaptive cruise control and blind-spot monitoring. Wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto integration link up to a Bose premium sound system to offer unsurpassed listening and chest-thumping beats.
