Does the 2027 Honda Civic Type R come as an automatic in Sacramento?

No, the 2027 Honda Civic Type R has no automatic option; every one is built with a manual transmission. Capital City Honda in Sacramento sells the Civic Type R new.

If an automatic is on your list, the Civic line still has choices. For the 2026 model year, the EPA certification records list automatic transmissions on the Civic sedan, the hatchback and the hybrids. Capital City Honda sells the full Civic family new, so you can compare them side by side.

The 2027 Honda Civic Type R comes only with a manual transmission

The 2027 Honda Civic Type R comes only with a manual transmission, so a driver who needs an automatic will not find one on this model. At Capital City Honda, we sell the Civic Type R new with that manual gearbox.

Buyers who need an automatic can look at the rest of the Civic line. Our lineup includes the Civic Sedan, Civic Hatchback, Civic Si Sedan, Civic Type R, Civic Sedan Hybrid and Civic Hybrid Hatchback. The Type R is the one in that group built for a driver who wants to shift every gear.

Before you decide, be clear about what a manual means day to day. You work the clutch and choose each gear yourself, so the car responds to the way you drive. If you want the Type R’s performance without the shifting, the answer is no, and it is better to know that before you visit.

What engine and gearbox does the 2027 Honda Civic Type R have?

For the 2026 model year, Honda rates the Civic Type R at 315 hp at 6,500 rpm. Its torque peaks at 310 lb-ft between 2,600 and 4,000 rpm, and the manual gearbox is the only transmission offered for this model.

A torque band that starts at 2,600 rpm gives you pull across a wide part of the rev range. You do not have to hold the engine near the top of the rev range to make progress. That matters on a manual, because the gears you pick decide how the car feels on every hill, on-ramp and back road.

Those figures are Honda’s own published specifications, so they are the numbers to bring when you compare the Type R with the other trims in our lineup.

How much does the 2027 Honda Civic Type R cost?

The 2027 Civic Type R starts at $48,695 (Honda, 2027). Honda’s published wording puts the $1,295 destination charge outside the MSRP, along with tax, license and registration. A $455 premium paint color charge and any dealer-installed accessories are also extra (American Honda Motor Co., 2026). When you compare offers, add those items to the starting price so you are comparing the same total.

What EPA fuel economy does the 2027 Honda Civic Type R list?

For the 2026 model year, the EPA rates the Civic hatchback with the automatic at 30 city, 38 highway and 34 combined. The manual version of the same 5-door is rated 22 city, 28 highway and 24 combined.

The hybrid hatchback is rated 50 city, 45 highway and 48 combined. EPA’s combined figure weights the city number at 55% and the highway number at 45% (U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, 2026). Use the combined number to compare trims, and the city and highway numbers to see where each trim earns its rating.

These are the Civic hatchback figures, so read each one against the trim it names. If you are weighing the Type R against a daily driver, the hatchback numbers show you the fuel economy range inside the Civic line.
