Does Honda still offer a manual transmission?

Yes. Honda still offers manual transmissions in select models and trims, most notably within the Civic family for enthusiasts, including the high-performance Civic Si and Civic Type R. The rest of Honda's lineup relies on automatic transmissions or CVTs. Availability can vary by market and model year, so check with a local dealer for the current configuration.


Where manual transmissions survive in Honda's lineup


Below is a look at where drivers can still encounter a manual option in Honda’s current offerings, with emphasis on performance-focused models and the general trend across the brand.


High-performance and enthusiast options


The Civic Si and Civic Type R remain the backbone of Honda's manual offerings in new-car form. Both models are associated with traditional manual transmissions, delivering a sportier, driver-focused experience that appeals to enthusiasts.


Other Honda models


Most other current Honda vehicles — including popular SUVs and family sedans such as the CR-V, HR-V, Pilot, Passport, Accord, and Odyssey — are sold with automatic transmissions, typically CVTs or traditional automatics. Some markets or model years may have limited exceptions, but automatic transmissions are the norm for these models.


How to verify current availability


Because Honda periodically updates drivetrains with new model years, the best way to confirm the presence of a manual transmission is to check the official Honda website for your region or contact a local dealership. For used-car shopping, review the transmission details in the listing or verify in person before purchase.


Summary


Manual transmissions remain available in Honda's lineup primarily through the Civic family, especially the Si and Type R, while the vast majority of other models use automatic transmissions. If a manual is essential, the Civic Si or Type R are the most reliable new-car options; always confirm current-year availability with a dealer.
