If you're looking to push the limits on the track, the Honda Civic Type R has the performance and aerodynamics that you need. Anchored by a turbocharged 2.0L four-cylinder with 306 hp and 295 lb-ft of torque, the 2021 Civic Type R embodies the spirit of a Honda racing legend. Vortex generators above the rear window channel air towards the wing spoiler for extra stability, while a rear diffuser reduces drag for enhanced performance at high speeds. New for 2021, the Honda Civic Type R Limited Edition also pays homage to past Type R models with an exclusive Phoenix Yellow exterior color and special suspension and steering tuning for maximum dominance on the road or track.
The Honda Civic has been a long-time staple for drivers who commute and the 2021 model is no exception. With the turbocharged 1.5L four-cylinder engine and continuously variable transmission, the 2021 Civic sedan delivers an EPA-estimated 32 mpg city and 42 mpg highway.
The 2021 Civic is known for its smooth handling and controlled ride, but this model is anything but bland. Responsive steering and quick cornering make the 2021 Civic fun to drive, while the car's firmer brake feel is easy to modulate. Striking a balance between comfort and driver engagement, the Civic is a well-rounded choice for city escapades or taking road trips with friends.
If you're looking for a sedan or hatchback to keep you connected to the home or office, the 2021 Honda Civic is loaded with cool technologies. All models (except the base LX) include Apple CarPlay and Android Auto capabilities, so you can get directions, make calls, and send and receive messages without taking your eyes off the road.
The 2021 Civic comes standard with many driver aids for your peace of mind. The collision-avoidance system provides visual, audible, and/or tactile alerts if you get too close to vehicles up ahead, while the lane-keeping system signals if you veer off course. All 2021 models also include a radar-based emergency braking system, which automatically applies brake pressure when it's most needed. Getting in and out of tight parking spots is made easier in the 2021 Civic with the inclusion of a multi-angle rearview camera with guidelines on all trim levels.
