Updated 2027 Civic Type R Gains Sharper Performance, New Meteorite Gray Color, Heated Seats, More Standard Tech; Arriving Soon

[Montrix]

New color is nice, aero/cooling improvements are always good and I'm a big fan of the new shift knob and trim colors. They finally added an auto dimming rear view mirror so that's also neat.

I never used the heated seats in my STI, it just doesn't seem necessary for suede seats. They bulleted "updated engine cover" but didn't show any pictures lol

I wonder if the back-up camera has been updated as well..

Anyone has a photo of the updated engine cover for 2027?

Very excited for the new Honda parts that will be available. Many of the dash components will be difficult to swap over though.

Anyone wanting the black vent sticks on their 2023-2026 Civic should consider picking up a set of just the top caps on my site. Honda will likely only sell them as complete vent assemblies which will be very expensive. I'll have more climate knobs in stock next week.

Guys, do you think it's worth it to trade in my 2026 Type R for a 2027 just to get heated seats?

Depends. Do you drive your Type R in a climate that needs heated seats?

Well looks like I’m selling the 25 to get the 27. Heated seats alone are worth it to me the others are bonuses.

I like the updates, but if they mean nothing to you and you're in the market you should be able to get a sweet deal on a '26 for the rest of the year.

I'm showing up to 26 FL5 within 130 miles of San Diego currently on dealer lots.

Im wondering about the suspension module, did they just swap the ITS one in? Want that dash!

The parts department is going to make some good money. Black Air Vent Knobs to complete the interior for those of us who have the all black AC knobs...

But Infotainment knob is still silver...lol. That seems so half-assed.

Different engine cover AND different intake resonator also, curious it isn't listed in the marketing material.

Very nice small QOL updates to the platform...nothing crazy warranting a "must have" jump from a 23-26 into a 27 imo.

Only thing I'm jealous of is that new paint option cuz Meteorite Gray is super super hot gah damn

Good catch!

Looks like i'll be hanging on to my 25. Not enough for me to want to upgrade.

Sounds like they just went to the Acura ITS parts bin for a few things (heated seats, auto-dimming mirror.)

FWIW, assuming they're equivalent to the ITS, I do think the heated seats are worthwhile if you live somewhere really cold - however some people think the Integra heated seats are very weak. This sits just fine with me as I always think heated seats are overpowered, but the Integra's suit me just fine. (I'm quite warm-blooded.)

I wouldn't be trading cars to upgrade for that feature though. Heated seats are really only a necessity on non-suede leather.

I like the cover but the resonator chamber on the 23-26 looks better. I wonder why it was changed?
