Does Honda still sell manuals?
Yes—Honda still sells manuals, but only on a limited subset of its lineup. In the United States, the current manual offerings are the Civic Si and the Civic Type R.
Current US lineup
In the United States, Honda's manual offerings are limited to two models from the Civic family. The rest of the lineup uses automatic transmissions or CVTs.
- Civic Si — 6-speed manual; turbocharged 1.5-liter engine; standard on Si with no automatic option.
- Civic Type R — 6-speed manual; high-performance variant; available only with a manual in the U.S. market.
These two models represent the core of Honda's manual offerings in the U.S. today, while mainstream Civics and crossovers are CVT or automatic.
Regional nuances
Beyond the U.S., regional availability varies. Some markets still offer manual trims on certain Civic variants and other smaller Honda models, but the global trend is toward automatic gearboxes.
Manual transmission availability around the world varies by region. Here's a snapshot of how Honda handles manuals in different markets.
- North America: Manuals are limited to Civic Si and Type R in the U.S.; Honda's mainstream models use automatic transmissions.
- Europe and other regions: Some Civic variants and a few smaller models are still offered with manual gearboxes here, though options are limited and can change year to year.
- Asia and other markets: Manual transmissions persist on certain local Honda models in select countries, depending on demand and regulations.
Global patterns show manuals surviving mainly in enthusiast-focused or regionally specific models rather than across Honda's broader lineup.
Summary
Honda's manual transmission offerings persist but are highly limited. In the United States, the Civic Si and Civic Type R remain the only current Honda models with a traditional manual gearbox. Internationally, availability varies by market, with some regions retaining manuals for certain Civic variants and other small cars, while most mainstream models rely on automatic transmissions. If you’re shopping, verify current regional availability with a local dealer or Honda’s official regional site.
