The Honda Civic Type R<\/a> has copped a price increase of close to $5000, but is unchanged apart from a new colour and a new option.<\/p>\n

Now priced at $79,000 drive-away, an increase of $4900, the Civic Type R is available from tomorrow.<\/p>\n

Honda hasn\u2019t confirmed how many vehicles are in the 2025 production run for Australia, but it has said it\u2019s prioritising customers who registered their interest online.<\/p>\n

A bold new Racing Blue finish joins the colour palette, alongside carryover Championship White, Crystal Black and Sonic Grey.<\/p>\n

There\u2019s also an optional carbon-fibre spoiler priced at $5300.<\/p>\n

There are no other specification changes for this 2025 production run.<\/p>\n

That means the Civic Type R continues to use a high-revving, turbocharged 2.0-litre four-cylinder petrol engine producing 235kW of power and 420Nm of torque, mated with a six-speed manual transmission with rev matching.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Like other Hondas, the Civic Type R is backed by a five-year, unlimited-kilometre warranty and five years of capped-price servicing. Each visit is priced at just $199.<\/p>\n

Standard equipment on the Civic Type R includes:<\/p>\n

Adaptive dampersBrembo brakesActive exhaustAutomatic LED headlightsAutomatic high-beamWireless phone charger9.0-inch touchscreen infotainment systemApple CarPlay and Android AutoAdaptive cruise controlBlind-spot monitoringLane-keep assist<\/p>\n

The steeper price tag means the Civic Type R is more expensive than a Toyota GR Corolla<\/a> (from $67,990 before on-road costs) and the Volkswagen Golf R<\/a> ($70,990 before on-roads).<\/p>\n

The Civic Type R isn\u2019t exactly a vehicle you\u2019ll find a lot of sitting around at Honda dealerships.<\/p>\n

It has traditionally come here in limited allocations, and as recently as early 2023<\/a> it was sold out for 20 months.<\/p>\n

Honda opened orders for the current generation on December 1, 2022, with the first customer deliveries in Australia taking place early in 2023.<\/p>\n
