How much does the Honda Civic Type R cost in Australia?

Honda Australia lists it from $85,000 drive-away. Honda uses fixed, non-negotiable agency pricing, so the figure already includes GST, CTP and government charges, with the exact amount varying slightly by state. There is no separate RRP published.

How fast is the Civic Type R?

It runs a 2.0-litre turbo VTEC four-cylinder making 235kW and 420Nm, driving the front wheels through a six-speed manual. Honda claims 0-100km/h in 5.4 seconds, with a top speed of around 275km/h.

Does the Honda Civic Type R have an ANCAP rating?

No. The Type R is unrated. ANCAP's Honda Civic rating explicitly excludes the Civic Type R, so it has no published star rating in Australia.

The Honda Civic Type R is the sharp end of Honda's small-car range, a front-wheel-drive hot hatch built around a 2.0-litre turbo VTEC four making 235kW and 420Nm through a slick six-speed manual with rev-matching. Honda quotes a 0-100km/h time of 5.4 seconds, and a helical limited-slip diff plus dual-axis front struts keep the power tidy through corners. Inside you get suede-style racing seats, a 10.2-inch digital display with shift lights, and the LogR data-logging app for track days. Honda Australia sells it drive-away for around $85,000 on a fixed, non-negotiable price, and stock is limited. Worth noting it carries no ANCAP rating, as the Type R is specifically excluded from the standard Civic's assessment. Figures here are from Honda Australia, not a road test.

Honda Civic Type R Orders Reopen: 98 Cars for Australia at $85,000 Driveaway, Carbon Wing Left Off

Honda Australia reopens Civic Type R order books today at midday with just 98 cars for the entire country at $85,000 driveaway, the same figure as the February batch but without the carbon-fibre rear wing that ran as a $5,300 option and then a standard fitment on earlier allocations. A $5,000 refundable deposit locks a build slot, first customer deliveries in December 2026. Mechanicals unchanged: 235kW/420Nm 2.0L VTEC turbo, six-speed manual with rev-matching, helical LSD, front-wheel drive. Honda has been running roughly 80 Type R deliveries a month and the August 2025 batch cleared inside an hour, so 98 cars is a rounding error against national demand. Cross-shop against the Toyota GR Yaris GTS Aero at ~$72k driveaway, Hyundai i30 N Premium at ~$58k, VW Golf R at ~$77k and Subaru WRX tS at ~$63k. ANCAP not yet rated on the FL5 body.
