The 2026 Honda Civic Type R is the front-wheel-drive hot-hatch flagship of the Civic range and one of the most celebrated performance cars in Australia. Its 2.0-litre VTEC turbo makes 235kW and 420Nm, sent to the front wheels through a slick 6-speed manual and a limited-slip differential, with no automatic offered. It adds a track-tuned chassis, Brembo brakes, adaptive dampers, 19-inch wheels, sport seats and aggressive aero over the regular Civic. At an estimated $75,000 (Honda lists $85,500 drive-away) it rivals the Toyota GR Corolla, Hyundai i30 N and Volkswagen Golf R.
