You’ll remain confident, even on winding roads and through hairpin turns, thanks to its dual-axis front suspension.

INTERIOR
When you step into the Honda Civic Type R, you’ll have a cockpit befitting a performance machine. Everything from design to comfort evokes that feeling of an expertly made vehicle that’s ready for anything.
Plenty of Room
When you and your riders enter the cabin of the Honda Civic Type R, you’ll find plenty of room to get comfortable. The 99 cubic feet of passenger volume lets everyone stretch out and settle in for the adventure.

| Legroom | 42.3 in. | 37.4 in. |

There’s more than enough space for everyone to claim their own, while still offering 24.5 cubic feet of cargo volume to stow all the gear that comes along—or that you pick up along the way.
Expert Design
You’ll be treated to a dynamic and daring cockpit design. The exclusive High-Bolstered Sport Seats mesh with the strength of the Honda Civic Type R, including Red and Black suede-effect fabric. The Double Red Stitching solidifies these seats as fit for a performance car.
Everyone inside can enjoy the ride even more thanks to the Dual-Zone Automatic Climate Control System—simply select your preferred temperature and let the system handle the rest—and rear-seat heater ducts. The Red ambient lighting also sets the mood for intensity. All together, it’s an interior that constantly reminds you that you’re the one in control.
TECHNOLOGY
There’s obviously plenty of muscle built into the Honda Civic Type R. You’ll also find plenty of brains, too, with advanced tech throughout to cater to your every need.
Safety Above All
As a Honda vehicle, the Civic Type R has a legacy of safety to live up to. That’s why each model comes equipped with Honda Sensing® for added peace of mind. This collection of 11 driver-assistive technologies keeps an eye out for you, so you remain alert and aware of what’s on the road. Among the included standard systems are:
- Collision Mitigation Braking System™
- Blind Spot Information System
- Lane Keeping Assist System
- Adaptive Cruise Control
- Auto High-Beam Headlights
- And more!
Roads can be unpredictable, which is why Honda includes several awareness-boosting features on the Civic Type R. For instance, the Driver Attention Monitor watches for drowsy or distracted behaviors. If any are noticed, your car will suggest you take a break. You’ll always have an attentive co-pilot, even on solo joyrides!
Fun and Function
From the driver’s seat of the Honda Civic Type R, you’ll have access to your favorite apps, music, and more with the 9-inch color touchscreen. It features customization options to make it uniquely yours, as well as smart shortcuts for whatever you use most often. Standard wireless Apple CarPlay®/Android Auto™, HD Radio™, and SiriusXM® make entertaining your crew even easier, while the standard wireless phone charger keeps your device powered up without cable clutter.
If you’re looking to amplify your favorite playlist, you can turn to the standard Bose® Premium Sound System for unparalleled quality. Its 12 speakers and subwoofer will turn your ride into a traveling concert that you control.
