In the United States, the only Honda models currently offered with a manual transmission are the Civic Si and the Civic Type R. Globally, some markets still offer manuals on certain models, but automatics dominate Honda’s lineup. This article outlines the current US situation and provides context on availability elsewhere.
Current U.S. manual-transmission Hondas
The following Honda models in the U.S. are available with a manual transmission today. Availability is limited to sport-oriented variants.
- Civic Si — 6-speed manual
- Civic Type R — 6-speed manual
In the U.S. market, these two models represent the extent of new Honda cars with a standard manual gearbox in recent years, reflecting broader shifts toward automatic transmissions across the brand’s lineup.
Notes on other markets and historical availability
Beyond the United States, Honda has historically offered manuals on additional models in various regions. Availability varies by country and model year, and in many markets the company has reduced or phased out manual options in favor of automatic transmissions.
Global perspective and how to verify for your market
Because transmission offerings differ by country, shoppers outside the United States should check regional Honda websites or local dealerships to confirm current options. Even when manuals remain available, trim and model-year changes can affect which configurations are offered.
What to consider if you want a manual Honda
Manual transmissions tend to appeal to enthusiasts who value engagement and control. If a manual Honda is important, the Civic Si and Civic Type R are the primary current options in the U.S., both noted for their precise shifting and performance-oriented tuning. Budget, maintenance costs, and resale value should also factor into your decision.
Summary
As of 2024–2026, the U.S. market’s manual-transmission lineup from Honda is limited to the Civic Si and Civic Type R. Global availability varies by country and model year, with many regions leaning toward automatics. For the latest, region-specific information, consult local Honda dealers or regional Honda sites.
