Honda lists the 2027 Civic Type R at $48,695 MSRP, or $49,990 including the $1,295 destination charge, and its October 1, 2026 release says the car starts arriving at dealers in October. Honda's pricing table has a single Type R row, and the price excludes a $455 premium paint charge.
What does Honda list for the 2027 Type R?
The destination charge is a separate line item in Honda's footnotes: MSRP leaves it out, and Honda's Total Suggested Retail Price (TSRP) adds it.
| Honda's figure | Amount | What Honda says it covers |
|---|---|---|
| MSRP | $48,695 | Excludes tax, license, registration, the $1,295 destination charge, a $455 premium paint charge and dealer-installed accessories |
| TSRP | $49,990 | MSRP plus the $1,295 destination charge; still excludes tax, license, registration, the $455 premium paint charge and dealer-installed accessories |
Honda's release does not say which color carries the premium paint charge, and it notes that dealer prices may vary. The release lists 315 horsepower, and Honda calls the Type R the most powerful Honda production vehicle ever sold in the U.S. Among the 2027 updates it lists, none is a change to engine output.
What changed on the 2027 Civic Type R?
Honda's release calls the 2027 car updated. Its "What's New" list groups into four areas.
| Area | Changes Honda lists |
|---|---|
| Exterior | Redesigned front fascia for engine cooling, deeper front splitter for downforce, updated engine cover, new color Meteorite Gray Metallic |
| Driving | Optimized suspension damping in +R mode, improved Rev Match system, more direct brake-pedal feel from a yoke spring on the pedal |
| Cabin | Heated front seats, Ultrasuede on the instrument panel and upper front door panels, new seat perforation pattern, darker gray shift knob and trim, auto-dimming rearview mirror |
| Tech and safety | Google built-in with Gemini, Alexa built-in, enhanced Honda Sensing, Post-Collision Braking on every car |
Honda says the heated seats are a first for the Type R and that Post-Collision Braking is standard for the first time. The release also calls the Type R the only car in its class sold exclusively with a manual transmission. That comparison is Honda's.
What does EPA rate the Type R, and what does RideTruth's catalog hold?
Honda's pricing table lists 22 city, 28 highway and 24 combined MPG for the 2027 Type R, citing 2027 EPA ratings. When RideTruth checked on October 10, 2026, fueleconomy.gov's 2027 Honda list had no Civic on it, and RideTruth's catalog has no 2027 Civic year, so those three numbers are Honda's.
The catalog's newest Civic year is the 2026, which holds one listing for every Civic configuration: seven rows, rated from 24 to 49 combined MPG. Those rows are labeled by engine, drive and transmission, not by trim, so none is named Type R. The one 2.0L 4-cyl manual row is rated 22 city, 28 highway and 24 combined on premium fuel. Those are the same three figures Honda lists for the 2027 Type R, which Honda says is sold only with a manual. The catalog's other manual row is a 1.5L.
What about NHTSA complaints and recalls?
RideTruth's catalog has no 2027 Civic, so there is no complaint or recall count for the 2027 Type R yet. The Civic line's history is in our Civic complaint count by model year.
Owners of an earlier Civic can save it in your garage, which checks saved cars for new NHTSA recall campaigns.
