Only two 2025 Honda models in the U.S. are offered with a manual gearbox: the Civic Si and the Civic Type R.
Across Honda's 2025 lineup, automatics dominate, with CVTs in many sedans and crossovers and traditional automatics in others. The manual transmissions are reserved for the sport-focused variants, reflecting Honda’s balance between driver engagement and efficiency as it moves toward broader electrification.
Manual-transmission models in 2025
Below are the Honda models that offer a manual transmission for the 2025 model year in the United States. Each entry uses a 6-speed manual and targets enthusiasts seeking an involved driving experience.
- Honda Civic Si — 6-speed manual transmission; turbocharged 1.5L engine; front-wheel drive; sport-tuned dynamics.
- Honda Civic Type R — 6-speed manual transmission; turbocharged 2.0L engine; high-performance variant with track-ready engineering.
These two models constitute the entire factory-manual portion of the 2025 Honda lineup in the U.S.
Non-manual models in 2025
Most of Honda’s 2025 lineup uses automatic transmissions (including CVTs) across sedans, SUVs, and trucks. The following models are representative examples where a manual gearbox is not offered.
- Honda Civic (non-Si, non-Type R): CVT or automatic options only.
- Honda Accord: automatic transmissions only.
- Honda CR-V, HR-V, Pilot, Passport, Ridgeline: automatic or CVT; no manual option.
For buyers who insist on a manual, the Civic Si and Civic Type R are the viable new-Honda options for 2025.
Summary: In 2025, Honda’s manual-transmission offerings in the U.S. are limited to the Civic Si and Civic Type R; the rest of the lineup relies on automatic transmissions.
