Honda has revealed the updated 2027 Civic Type R, adding heated front seats and Google Gemini while making targeted changes to the hot hatch's suspension, braking and engine cooling. The update gives Honda's performance-focused Civic more everyday comfort and technology without increasing its power output.
The refreshed Type R retains its 315-horsepower 2.0-litre turbocharged four-cylinder engine and six-speed manual gearbox, but gains revised suspension tuning, quicker Rev Match responses and a more direct brake pedal. Honda says the redesigned front end also improves engine cooling and downforce, while the model becomes the first Civic Type R to feature heated front seats and Google built-in with Gemini.
