Honda has revealed its new sixth-generation Civic Type R. First previewed in 2021, the new Civic Type R replaces the fifth-generation model that made its debut in 2017 and received a mid-life cycle update in 2020.
Compared to the previous model that sported a bold exterior design, the new Civic Type R is far more understated. Based on the 11th-generation Civic, the new Type R gets a new bonnet with a scoop in it and an upgraded lower grille. This is complemented by bumper-mounted air vents on either side to improve airflow to the engine. At the sides, the performance hatchback gets new, lightweight 19-inch alloy wheels and upgraded brakes. The rear of the new Civic Type R features a large, fixed rear wing, a blacked-out diffuser and triple tailpipes.
On the inside, the new Civic Type R gets a completely new interior layout and features the iconic red Honda badge on the steering wheel, Type R sports seats — suited for both road and track driving — a 10.2-inch touchscreen, digital instrument cluster, blind spot monitoring and red suede-effect upholstery.
