2021 Honda Civic Hatchback Pricing Revealed
Not much changes for the 2021 Civic, but we do get a special new Type R variant.
Autoblog has recently shared pricing information for the 2021 Honda Civic Hatchback. The 2021 Civic hatch is offered in four trim levels. The EX-L model, positioned just below the Sport Touring trim, is not returning next year.
Besides the loss of the EX-L trim, there aren’t many changes to the 2021 Civic Hatchback. Prices will increase slightly for each trim level, however. The base LX trim starts at $22,955, including the $955 destination charge. That’s $250 more than the 2020 model.
That $250 price increase carries along the entire 2021 Civic Hatchback range. On the high end, the Sport Touring trim starts at $29,355 with a six-speed manual transmission. A CVT-equipped Sport touring model will set you back $30,155.
More or Less the Same
The 174 horsepower 1.5 liter turbo four-cylinder remains the only engine choice unless you spring for the high-performance Civic Type R. All models are available with a CVT automatic transmission, which is standard on the EX and LX models. The only way to get your 2021 Civic Hatchback with three pedals is to select the Sport or Sport Touring trim, where the excellent six-speed manual is standard. However, the CVT remains an option for those models as well.
Meanwhile, the 2021 Civic Type R will get a special Limited Edition model that will cost a not insignificant $44,950. That’s $6,500 more than the standard Type R, which also sees a price increase over the 2020 model. In this case, it’s a $500 increase instead of $250.
We’re only getting 600 examples of the Civic Type R Limited Edition here in the US. Besides exclusivity, that extra $6,500 buys you a special Phoenix Yellow paint job, and a bit less weight. The Civic Type R weighs 46 pounds less than the standard car.
Part of the Civic Type R Limited Edition’s diet plan includes a set of forged BBS wheels. Those wheels alone account for 18 pounds of the CTR LE’s weight loss. That may not sound like much, but apparently it was enough to set a lap record around Suzuka. Apparently, it really is worth it to sweat the small stuff.
