Pricing is out for the 2024 Honda Civic Type R, and if you were holding out for a purchase this year, we have some bad news. You’ll pay $1,900 more to put Honda’s hot hatchback in your garage, and you won’t get anything extra for the effort.<\/p>\n
A year-over-year price increase certainly isn’t uncommon in the new-car world, though it usually comes with changes like new features or more standard equipment. Sometimes, increases are the result of an automaker dropping an entry-level trim, but none of that applies here. A Honda spokesperson explained to Motor1<\/em> that the Civic Type R’s higher sticker price is due to “higher costs associated with production and logistics and is taking effect with the 2024 model year.”<\/p>\n Jumping onto Honda’s website, you’ll find the starting MSRP now sits at $44,795 before destination. Last year, the Type R started at $42,895. The mandatory $1,095 destination charge hasn’t changed. That brings us to $45,890 for the 2024 model year and for that, you get a 315-horsepower Civic finished in either Rallye Red or Crystal Black Pearl.<\/p>\n The standard price also includes Matte Black 19-inch wheels, a two-tone red\/black interior, the Honda Sensing suite of driver assists, and a Bose stereo, among many other features. A base model Civic Type R isn’t wanting for features. Still, a hefty $1,900 jump without any added content might be a hard pill for some buyers to swallow.<\/p>\n Curiously, we don’t see anywhere near the same increase for the 2024 Honda Civic SI, which is up $300 to start at $30,195 (including destination). Of course, dealer markups for the Type R were widely seen when it reached dealerships later in 2022.<\/p>\n Gallery: 2023 Honda Civic Type R <\/h3>\n
