About 2021 Honda Civic Type-R


4.1

Overall Rating

The 2021 Honda Civic Type-R has been launched for an MSRP of $37,495 and goes all the way to $43,995 for the Limited Edition trim. Both the trim come with the same 2L turbocharged inline-4 motor punching out 306 hp and 295 lb-ft of torque. Both the trims managed to do a 0-60 MPH and a quarter-mile time of 5 seconds and 12.7 seconds and returned a gas mileage of 25 MPG combined. Many interior features like 7-inch infotainment with Android Auto and Apple CarPlay, climate control, etc are also offered.

The 2021 Honda Civic Type-R is out for the year at a base price of $37,895, equipped with an FWD 306 hp-2.0L, a turbocharged engine capable of pushing the Type R to a top speed of 147 MPH. The 2021 Civic Type-R gets only an approximate $500 spike in price compared to the 2020 model. With the snappy engine, the 2021 Civic Type-R can complete 0-60 mph in just 5.0 seconds.

Engine and Performance
7.4/10


Acceleration numbers appear modest and, indeed, the Type R can get dusted by lead-footed drivers of EVs. - Edmunds 

The 2021 Honda Civic Type-R houses the same powerplant that drives the 2020 Honda Civic Type R. The turbocharged 2.0 liter 4 cylinder VTEC engine puts out an impressive 306 hp and 295 lb-ft of torque. The power is put down to the front wheels and both the trims, namely Touring and Limited Edition, priced at an MSRP of $37,495 and $43,995, comes with the same powertrain too.

This turbocharged motor of the 2021 Honda Civic Type-R is mated to a 6-speed manual transmission, which offers slick gearshifts with short throws and a light clutch. Even though both the Touring and Limited Edition trims do not get an option for selecting an automatic transmission unlike some of the rivals, the manual gearbox on offer makes it fun and involving a car to drive. The Civic Type-R comes in FWD layout only. However, a limited-slip differential is on offer.

The 2021 Honda Civic Type R is known for its commendable performance and enthusiastic driving experience. With 295 lb-ft of torque on offer, the vehicle sprints from 0-60 MPH in just 5.0 seconds. The competitors also offer similar performance and acceleration times too. However, both the 2021 Hyundai Veloster N and 2021 Toyota Yaris GR did the same in a higher 5.6 seconds and 5.3 seconds, respectively. However, the 2021 Volkswagon Golf GTI did the 0-60 MPH in 5.9 seconds, making it the slowest of the lot.

Turbo-4 motor launches the car from 0-60 mph in the low five-second range while delivering a very reasonable 25 mpg combined - The Car Connection

Though the 2021 Honda Civic Type-R comes equipped with a punchy motor that has been tuned for exhilarating performance just like any sports sedan, it still manages to extract a decent 22 MPG in the city and 28 MPG on the highway, with a combined rating of 25 MPG. It might not be impressive on paper but considering its punchy power and zestful ride, it's quite decent for the performance compact hatchback segment.

With a standard 6-speed manual gearbox on offer combined with a low curb weight of 2,654 lbs, the 2021 Honda Civic Type-R came out with a decent combined tank range of 310 miles. However, a lower 12.4-gallon fuel tank does manage to restrict the number of miles in comparison to some of the competitors who get an even larger tank capacity.

Exterior

The Type-R name might conjure up romantic visions of racy stripped-out hatchbacks, but Honda hasn't built one of those. - Edmunds

The exterior of the 2021 Honda Civic Type-R remains unchanged from the outgoing 2020 Honda Civic Type-R, however, the Limited Edition trim which comes for an MSRP of $43,995, gets a whole lot of exterior changes from the base Touring trim like a Phoenix yellow paint job, 20-inch BBS alloy wheels, Michelin Pilot Sport tires, and a gloss black roof, exterior mirrors, and hood scoop. The base Touring trim, which is priced at $37,495 gets a few exterior touches too, like 20-inch blacked-out wheels, wing spoiler, LED headlights and taillights, fully automatic lights with LED DRLs, etc. 

Apart from the standard additions in terms of exterior features, the 2021 Honda Civic Type-R also gets a few packages like the Carbon Fiber package, which comes for an MSRP of $3,673, and gets a carbon fiber spoiler, hood scoop, door mirror covers, and interior panel cover as part of the package. This will also significantly reduce the bodyweight too. Apart from that, there are also multiple exterior accessories on offer like body side molding, door trims, and rear bumper applique for an additional cost of $236, $262, and $74, respectively.

The 2021 Honda Civic Type-R hasn't been crash-tested by coveted testing organizations like the NHTSA and IIHS yet.

2021 Honda Civic Type R vs 2021 Hyundai Veloster N

The 2021 Hyundai Veloster N is a performance hatchback that is yet another track-focused machine for the segment. The 2021 Veloster N is the most affordable performance vehicle in the lineup too, coming in at a base MSRP of $27,895, undercutting the 2021 Civic Type-R by almost $10,000. But it is not as capable as the 2021 Honda Civic Type-R as it lacks behind in features and equipment. It is also not as entertaining to drive as the 2021 Honda Civic Type-R too. However, for the price, the 2021 Veloster N is an impressive moniker if you want a decently powerful and capable hatchback.

2021 Honda Civic Type R vs 2021 Volkswagen Golf GTI

The 2021 Volkswagen Golf GTI is based on the previous-generation Golf. However, the performance and driving experience showcased by the 2021 Golf GTI is slightly better than the 2021 Civic type-R. Coming in for an MSRP of $37,745, the 2021 Golf GTI is also priced similar to that of the 2021 Honda Civic Type-R. However, the 2021 Civic Type-R offers a more spacious cabin, making it a better choice for someone who is looking to haul family as well.

2021 Honda Civic Type R vs 2021 Toyota Yaris GR

The estimated price of close to $33,000 is also lower by more than $5,000, in comparison to the 2021 Honda Civic Type-R.

Final Verdict


The 2021 Civic Type-R is a mighty performer that enjoys being revved to the limits as well as putter around calmly through the busy city streets. However, put your foot down and the quick acceleration and the great power on offer convert it into a track-focused vehicle. We also loved the versatility the moniker offered due to the spacious and feature-rich cabin. Coming in at a base MSRP of $37,495, we think that the 2021 Honda Civic Type-R should be a must-buy if you want the performance of a hot hatch and need a reliable and comfortable daily driver.
