The New Honda Civic Type R Will Set You Back £30,995 And Up
We know it looks bonkers, we know it’s a Nurburgring record holder, and now we know how much it costs. Honda has today revealed that its new ‘FK8’ Civic Type R hot hatch nutter will set you back £30,995 on the road, an increase of just under £1000 relative to the old model.
It’s also over a grand less than the Ford Focus RS, for which you’ll need to stump up £32,265, and slightly more than a five-door Seat Leon Cupra, which is £30,455.
Go for the GT pack - which the vast majority of FK2 Type R buyers did - and the price increases to £32,995. Do that, and you get blind spot monitoring, a cross traffic monitor, dual-zone climate control, an auto-dim rear view mirror, Garmin satellite navigation, wireless charging and an upgraded audio system. Oh, and some nice LED front fog lights.
Prefer to spread the cost a bit? You’re looking at “monthly payments in line” with the outgoing Type R, which means it’ll be in the region of £299 a month on a three year, 5.9 per cent deal.
The new Type R is available to order now, and will be gracing Honda showrooms with its unsubtle presence from next month onwards.

Wow that’s an expensive bowl of rice…………

JK LOL.
Am I the only one who really wishes the type R was awd
Yes, you are.
As is, the FK2 already beats the RS around the eboladrome, and that’s from a standing start. Adding a 4WD system would only add weight, cost and complexity.
That’s really a lot for a civic but hey if it goes fast why not 🤔
I’m conflicted on this one
Ah, but if you buy a 1979 Trans Am for the same price, you don’t lose any money through depreciation. And you look cooler… like 100,000x cooler.
Like a red neck?
I don’t doubt it’s good around the track.All I’m saying is i would really love to see a rally version of it
Or for 4k less, you can buy a C6 RS6 or E60 M5.
However, I still think this Type R will be bang for the buck.
That is the DUMBEST advice I have ever read. The second that something goes wrong with those over-engineered old german cars you are going to more than make up the difference just parts and labor. They also consume way more fuel. The reason they depreciate so hard is that people realise how much they cost to maintain. They are also big, heavy and completely different category to the Type R.

I love the new design of the Civic Type R, just appeals to me like a magnet would attract another one <3
Only thing I dislike are… the taillights.
Is there going to be pricing for the US model anytime soon?
