14 Honda Civic Type R cars for sale

It could be worth keeping an eye out for the two special-edition versions of the old car too. The Sport Line’s smaller wheels may be less prone to pothole damage than the standard 20-inch wheels if nothing else, while the Limited Edition is sure to appeal to collectors in future, thanks to its more focused nature.

Used Honda Civic Type-R fuel economy and performance

• Honda Civic Type-R (2017): Power comes from a 2-litre turbocharged petrol four-cylinder, with a 320PS output and a six-speed manual gearbox with a limited-slip differential. 0-62mph comes in in 5.8 seconds (5.7 seconds for Limited Edition models), while combined economy is up to 34mpg depending on the variant.
• Honda Civic Type-R (2022): The more recent Type-R is effectively the same under the skin, but power increases to 329PS and the 0-62mph time drops accordingly, to 5.4 seconds. It’s still six-speed manual only, while economy rises a touch to 34.5mpg.

What used Honda Civic Type-R trim levels are available?

The first four trim levels below can all be found on the 2017-2021 Civic Type-R, while the final trim applies only to the latest model. Sport Line and Limited Edition trims were launched shortly before the old car went off sale, the former being a toned-down model both in terms of styling and driving characteristics (it had the same power, but smaller alloy wheels on taller sidewall tyres, taking the edge off the ride), while the latter was even more extreme, shedding equipment for reduced weight.

• The Honda Civic Type-R (2017) was equipped with 20-inch alloy wheels as standard, plus a sizeable rear wing, LED headlights, privacy glass, a 7-inch touchscreen infotainment system with 8-speaker audio, climate control, adaptive cruise control, and adaptive dampers controlled via selectable driving modes. A set of Type-R sports seats and an aluminium gearknob are just two of the Type-R cues inside.
• The Honda Civic Type-R Sport Line got smaller 19-inch alloy wheels which improved the ride, and a smaller rear spoiler which arguably improved the styling. Being a later model it got Garmin navigation, 11-speaker audio, front and rear parking sensors, dual-zone climate control, electric folding mirrors, and LED fog lights, while its Type-R seats were black rather than red.
• The Honda Civic Type-R GT is a mix of the standard car and Sport line, with the larger 20-inch alloys but the equipment roster of the toned-down car.
• The Honda Civic Type-R Limited Edition was the most extreme model, ditching the air conditioning, infotainment system, and some sound insulation for 47kg less weight. The wheels were forged BBS alloys, and it came only in bright yellow paint.
• The Honda Civic Type-R (2022) comes with 19-inch alloys, red Type-R sports seats, LED headlights, a 10.2-inch digital driver display, a 9-inch touchscreen, eight-speaker audio, adaptive dampers, selectable driving modes, privacy glass, adaptive cruise control, and dual-zone climate control.

Used Honda Civic Type-R road tax

2022-on models are currently a lot more expensive to tax than their 2017-on counterparts, thanks to a purchase price that starts well over the £40,000 mark, attracting a VED surcharge. That means a £600 yearly bill for the later car until it reaches seven years old, while the 2017 model is a more affordable £190 per year.

How much is it to insure a Honda Civic Type-R?

No Type-R will be especially affordable to insure, even compared to other hot hatchback rivals. You’re looking at group 38 (out of 50) for 2017-2021 cars, but as high as group 41 for the Limited Edition, while the 2022-on car starts in insurance group 43. The all-wheel drive Volkswagen Golf R is only group 32, for reference, while a Hyundai i30N is even cheaper at group 27.
