Honda Jacks Up MSRP Of Already Pricey Civic Type R For 2025

Price Hike for 2025 Model

The Honda Civic Type R, known for its performance and value, has received a price increase in the United States. The 2025 model now starts at $46,690, which is $800 more than the previous year’s model. Despite the price hike, no changes have been made to the car itself.

Competition and Comparison

The price increase brings the Civic Type R closer in price to the 2024 VW Golf R, which starts at $46,890. It also makes the 2024 Toyota GR Corolla, priced at $37,635, a more attractive option for buyers.

Unchanged Performance

The Civic Type R is powered by a 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine, delivering 315 horsepower and 310 lb-ft of torque. It comes with a six-speed manual transmission, known for its exceptional performance.

Future Considerations

While the price increase may make the Civic Type R less competitive in its price range, Honda needs to be cautious not to encroach on the territory of more premium sports cars like the BMW M240i. Additionally, the upcoming Acura Integra Type R, which shares the same engine as the Type R, starts at $53,795 and should be positioned as a slightly more premium option.
