Honda Civic Type R in Sacramento: power, price and who it fits
The Honda Civic Type R is the right car for a Sacramento buyer who wants the most power in the Civic lineup and is ready to pay for it. The power, the price and the kind of driver it suits each decide the choice, and each has a clear answer. The car is built for a buyer who puts performance first, and the buying conversation matters as much as the spec sheet.
Keep reading below, then schedule a test drive in Sacramento. Bringing your own numbers to the lot settles this faster than any spec sheet.
Is the Honda Civic Type R a good car for Sacramento drivers?
Yes. The Civic Type R pairs the power and handling of a track-bred hot hatch with a hatchback body that works as a daily car, which suits a city and freeway mix like Sacramento’s. We sell the Civic Type R new at 3630 Fulton Avenue, and our Google rating is 4.5 stars across 3,088 reviews (Google, 2026).
How much power does the Honda Civic Type R make?
The Civic Type R makes 315 horsepower, peaking at 6,500, and 310 lb-ft of torque from 2,600 to 4,000, according to Honda’s 2026 specifications. That makes it the most powerful Civic we sell. The Civic Si makes 200 horsepower at 6,000 and 192 lb-ft of torque from 1,800 to 5,000, and the Civic hybrids make 200 horsepower, so the Type R sits at the top of the range on paper.
What does a new Honda Civic Type R cost in Sacramento?
Honda lists a starting MSRP of $47,395 for the 2026 Civic Type R, according to its 2026 pricing release. The price you pay is higher once tax and fees are added. In the city of Sacramento, the combined sales and use tax rate is 8.750%, effective July 1, 2026 (California Department of Tax and Fee Administration, 2026). California also charges an annual vehicle license fee of 0.65% of the vehicle’s purchase price or value, paid instead of the fee being included in your property tax (California Department of Motor Vehicles, 2026).
Financing here covers Honda leases, new Honda loans and pre-owned car loans. There is a secure online finance application, and our payment calculator accepts a trade-in offer amount, so you can see how a trade changes the monthly figure.
Who is the Honda Civic Type R built for?
A buyer who wants a quieter Civic can choose the Civic Si or a hybrid, and we sell them all. The Type R suits a driver who wants the most power in the Civic lineup and will pay for it. The Civic Si Sedan makes 200 horsepower, and the Civic Sedan Sport Hybrid makes 200 horsepower as well, so the Type R is the choice when the engine is the point.
Pick the Type R for the power. Pick the Si or a hybrid for a calmer car at a different price.

In a September 2026 Google review, Raymund V. wrote: “Six stars if I could. I came to Capital City Honda looking for a reliable used sedan for my son, and I left with a 2024 Accord and zero regrets. Gianni in Sales made the difference. He answered my questions honestly, sent me a clear out-the-door quote by email before I ever set foot on the lot, and respected the budget I gave him. No games, no surprise numbers at the desk. Matt in Finance kept that same standard. He walked me through the paperwork line by line, explained my options without pressuring me into add-ons I didn’t want, and moved fast so I wasn’t stuck there all night. Car shopping usually wears me out. This time it didn’t. Thanks, Gianni and Matt. I’ll send people your way.”
Raymund describes a clear out-the-door quote by email before his visit, and no surprise numbers at the desk. That is the process a Type R buyer should ask for.

Frequently asked questions
How do you compare out-the-door quotes on the same Honda Civic Type R?
Ask each store for the out-the-door price on the same trim, with tax and fees shown. California’s statewide sales and use tax rate is 7.25%, and in most areas local jurisdictions add district taxes from 0.10% to 2.00%, with some areas carrying more than one (California Department of Tax and Fee Administration, 2026). Compare quotes on the same financing terms, whether that is a loan, a lease or a cash price, so the numbers match.
What is HondaTrue Certified and what does it cover?
HondaTrue Certified covers 2021 to 2026 Honda vehicles with under 80,000 miles. It adds powertrain coverage of 7 years or 100,000 miles, plus non powertrain coverage for 2 more years or up to 100,000 miles, after a 182-point inspection, with a $0 deductible on covered repairs (American Honda Motor Co., Inc., Honda Certified Pre-Owned, 2026).
Should I buy a Honda Civic Type R?
Buy it if performance comes first for you and the full price fits your budget. Capital City Honda lets you value your trade and get pre-approved online, so you know what you can spend before you visit. You can then browse the new, used and certified pre-owned Honda inventory and finish in store. If the Type R stretches that budget, compare it with the other Civic models in the same visit, so you choose with the numbers in front of you.
