If you have questions or want to reserve your test drive, get in touch with our team at Pohanka Honda in Capitol Heights

Performance

The Honda Civic Type R consistently puts awe-inspiring vigor to the forefront, so we’d be remiss if we didn’t start there. You’ll have a mighty 305 horsepower1 and 295 lb.-ft. of torque2 emanating from beneath the sheet metal, thanks to the standard 2.0L Turbocharged 4-cylinder engine thundering at this vehicle’s core. This system works in tandem with Direct Injection and a Drive-by-Throttle System to give you peak acceleration when you put the pedal to the metal. And, you’ll have full reign over the manner in which the Civic Type R propels you forward, thanks to the 3-Mode Drive System that gives you Comfort, Sport, and R+ to select from. Finishing things off strong is the standard 6-speed manual transmission that includes Rev-Match Control for precise gear shifts. 

Cockpit

You deserve an authentic racing experience, and the Civic Type R knocks it out of the park with its athletic cockpit. Heavily bolstered sport front seats come standard, and will make sure to stay in place while making sharp turns and difficult maneuvers. If you like to take your speed cravings to the track, then you’ll certainly appreciate the standard Honda LogRTM3 datalogger application that measures your lap performance and saves everything in real time. To give you a firm grip, the standard Alcantara®4-wrapped steering wheel provides a supple texture while emphasizing utter control. To raise the stakes, you’ll press down on sport pedals and flip gears with an aluminum shift knob to bring everything full circle. As if that wasn’t already enough, the 7-inch touchscreen allows you to delve into your favorite playlists! To learn more about cabin features, contact us.

Exterior

Fellow drivers will be sneaking glances from the moment you hop behind the wheel of the 2021 Civic Type R. Its glorious outer shell boasts a commanding front fascia that effortlessly transitions into sharp edges and flowing lines. The aluminum hood, Underbody Spoiler Kit with red striping, and triple outlet exhaust all culminate to provide a presence that cannot be ignored. Smart Entry with Walk Away Auto Lock® comes standard, and allows you to hop in and set out on your trips down I-495 expeditiously. You’ll always be prepared for what the day throws your way, because variable intermittent windshield wipers come equipped. Pair that with the rear heated wiper zone, and you’ll be able to get behind the wheel in the heart of winter. 

This 2021 Honda Civic Type R first look near Washington, DC, is only the tip of the iceberg. To dive in deeper, head to our Pohanka Honda in Capitol Heights location.

I am always pleased with Pohanka Honda's Service Department. The team there are always professional, knowledgeable, and very personable. Even though I bought my 2019 Honda from another Honda dealership and got discouraged at my treatment there, I tried Pohanka's service department and have been overwhelmingly pleased ever since. I was pleasantly surprised to receive a video recording from the technician/mechanic of recommended services for my vehicle. That was a nice touch. My sincere appreciation to Pohanka.

Hello, my 2026 Honda CR-V was due its first maintenance service. On May 18, 2026, I was greeted by Jacqueline. She was assigned to me and she made sure I was totally satisfied before leaving Pohanka parking lot. Jacqueline was professional, pleasant, she assisted me with my questions, washed my car and help me with setting the drivers seat settings. I received excellent service as always. Keep up the awesome work, Jacqueline.

Whenever I go for service my service pro is always knowledgeable. I like that I may be given a courtesy ride home or an area to relax while I wait for my car. Unfortunately the complimentary car was is never satisfactory. I am not looking for a detail but I would like for the exterior to be clean. They must do better than just rinsing my car off with the hose. Next time I will post pics of not sufficient.
