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.

With the inclusion of top-notch braking hardware and superb suspension setup on offer, the 2021 Honda Civic Type-R could easily be one of the best when it comes to driving dynamics on offer.

The steering was quite precise and direct, and offered a decent amount of feel and feedback too, making the car more confidence-inspiring to drive.
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.

The Type R has a comfortable interior with fantastic driver ergonomics. - Edmunds
The 2021 Honda Civic Type R’s interior now gets plenty of soft-touch bits and improved ergonomics. The dashboard is made of soft-touch plastic that gives it a smooth and standard appearance and feels luxurious. Along with decent interior quality on offer, the 2021 Honda Civic Type-R also comes with many cabin features like leather-trimmed sport seats, heated and electrically adjustable seats, and many more. For an additional $1,112, you would also get an Interior Package which consists of many more features too.
Space is not an issue for the 2021 Honda Civic Type R and it comfortably houses 5 passengers. The front and rear seats get enough head and legroom to accommodate adults with ease on long highway rides. The 2021 Honda Civic Type-R, which comes at a base MSRP of $37,495, offers a better room inside when compared to the likes of the 2021 Hyundai Veloster N and 2021 Volkswagen Golf GTI. However, the 2021 Toyota Yaris GR's interior and cargo space data hasn't been released yet since the car is yet to reach the American shore. The trunk capacity of 25.7 cu ft offered by the 2021 Honda Civic Type-R is the best of the segment too.

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.

Offering one of the lowest curb weight of 2,654 lbs coupled with the best in class length, width, and height, the 2021 Honda Civic Type-R offers the most road presence in comparison to the likes of the 2021 Hyundai Veloster N and 2021 Golf GTI, both of which comes with a much lower length and width. However, the 2021 Golf GTI offers the best in class ground clearance of 4.8". Some of the additional exterior features of the 2021 Honda Civic Type-R are:
Honda also provides a host of standard driver-assistance technology—not that anyone who loved the Type R's decidedly analog personality asked for such equipment. - Car And Driver
The 2021 Honda Civic Type-R hasn't been crash-tested by coveted testing organizations like the NHTSA and IIHS yet. However, with an impressive list of driver assistance features coupled with the excellent build quality on offer, the 2021 Honda Civic Type-R will turn out to be one of the best in terms of safety when it gets tested.
The 2021 Honda Civic Type-R comes with a host of advanced active and passive safety features and driver-assistance features like forward-collision warning and automated emergency braking, lane-departure warning, lane-keeping assist, adaptive cruise control, road departure mitigation system, Honda lane watch camera, and many more too. Most of these safety features come standard as well.
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.
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.
Though the 2021 Toyota Yaris GR hasn't been launched yet, this subcompact performance hatchback showcased an impressive 0-60 mph time and a quarter-mile time of 5.3 seconds and 13.9 seconds, putting it quite close to the 2021 Honda Civic Type-R. 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. Apart from that, impeccable gas mileage on offer coupled with youthful styling are also the strengths of the 2021 Toyota Yaris GR.
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.
