The 2026 Honda Civic Type R is hitting the streets of Wilkes-Barre, PA, and this hot hatch brings raw performance to your daily commute. Here at MotorWorld Honda, we love showing drivers how this performance-oriented hatchback delivers track-ready excitement. These are five reasons why this vehicle set the front-wheel record at the Nürburgring circuit, which is the most challenging circuit ever devised.
Thrilling Turbocharged Performance
At the heart of the 2026 Honda Civic Type R is a 2.0-liter VTEC® turbocharged four-cylinder engine that cranks out 315 horsepower and 310 lb-ft of torque. The massive output allows for a 0 to 60 sprint in just 5.3 seconds on the open highway.
Multi-Link Rear Suspension
An area where the 2026 Honda Civic Type R stands out from your typical hatchback is its multi-link rear suspension. With its high-rigidity components, this suspension offers both stability and support on the road.
Precise Manual Control
For purists, the driving experience is elevated by an exclusive six-speed manual transmission that gives you total control. The gearbox features standard rev-match control, which ensures crisp and smooth downshifts whether you’re hitting tight corners or slowing down for a stoplight.
Triple-Outlet Exhaust
Whether you’re cruising through Wilkes-Barre or zooming on the track, the center-mounted triple-outlet exhaust makes a sound that perfectly complements the engine’s performance.
Precise Handling and Braking
The vehicle masters curves with confidence thanks to the innovative dual-axis MacPherson strut front suspension, which practically eliminates torque steer. Meanwhile, heavy-duty four-piston Brembo® brake calipers deliver quick stopping power.
