A global high-performance icon admired by driving enthusiasts around the world, Type R is the pinnacle of Honda factory performance, and the all-new 2023 model continues that legacy. Building on 25 years of ultimate hot hatch performance, Type R has been engineered to deliver a thrilling performance and driving experience to date.

This vehicle officially completes the new generation Civic family in Australia, with the Civic VTi LX being introduced into the market in late 2021, followed by the Civic e:HEV LX and now the all-new model.

Based on the all-new 11th generation Civic Hatchback, the 2023 model embodies Honda’s challenging spirit, leveraging its deep roots in competition with racetrack-proven engineering that maximizes performance without sacrificing Type R’s civilized road manners.

Civic Type R’s scalpel-sharp responses and famously addictive driving feel are increased even further by enhanced suspension and steering performance. The upgraded Brembo braking system gives the driver a rock-solid sense of control and stability. Four driving modes, including a new Individual mode, enable drivers to truly customize the driving experience.

Interior

The immersive cockpit enhances the exhilaration of driving with emotive, performance-focused details and features including Type R’s iconic red seats, aluminum shift knob, and a serialized Type R plate on the dash. The instrument panel features a metal honeycomb panel, a high-quality styling detail that serves both form and function by also concealing the air vents.
