Honda Civic Type R sells out in days at $85,000 in Australia
The 2027 Honda Civic Type R costs $85,000 drive-away in Australia and sells out within days each time a batch arrives.
Honda's latest Civic Type R is the most powerful, largest and most expensive version ever made. In Australia, it is also almost impossible to buy.
Supply has been sporadic since early 2023, with Honda Australia releasing only small batches every few months. The most recent batch of 98 units, released in July 2026, sold out immediately.
The $85,000 price tag is $12,400 higher than when the car launched three years ago. Buyers can find used examples at dealers and private sales, with prices relatively stable, but getting a new one from a showroom remains a long shot.

Why it mattersAustralians wanting a hot hatch have limited options if they want this specific car, and the high price pushes it well above rivals like the Hyundai i30 N ($52,500) and Toyota GR Corolla ($67,990).
