Honda has welcomed in the New Year with a minor bump in price for the 2021 Honda Civic Type R. Following its launch in the middle of last year with a series of updates, the 2021 Civic Type R will now start at US$ 38,890 in Touring form. This represents an increase of US$ 440 of which US$ 40 is accounted for by the increased destination fee of US$ 995. Honda has not adjusted the MSRP for the Civic Type R Limited variant.
Honda unveiled the tweaked Civic Type R 12 months ago, initially hitting the market as a 2020 model. The most obvious visual alteration made was the inclusion of an available Boost Blue color option while on the inside, the automaker introduced an Alcantara-wrapped steering wheel while also fitting a new gear knob with shorter shift throws.
Various other updates were made, including
modifications to the front suspension that are said to improve the steering
feel. The car also benefits from updated dampers to provide a smoother ride
while stiffer rear bushings also enhance grip. No modifications have been made
to the 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine, meaning it continues to
produce 306 hp and 400 Nm of torque, all of which is sent to the
front wheels courtesy of a six-speed manual transmission and a limited-slip
differential.
