Introducing the Most Powerful Honda Civic: The 2023 Civic Type R

The best-selling sedan just turned 50, and the brand is celebrating with the debut of the most powerful Civic to date – the 2023 Honda Civic Type R. Over the course of 30 years, the Type R has been engineered from the ground up to deliver thrilling performance with an addictive driving experience.

Here is what we know:

As the pinnacle of Honda performance, the new Civic Type R is the fastest most powerful Honda-branded vehicle ever offered in the U.S. Based on the all-new 11^th generation Civic Hatchback, the Civic Type R combines its class-leading performance with a low and wide design and a new immersive high-performance cockpit experience that enhances that exhilaration of driving.

Performance-Focused Engineering

A new lightweight and highlight rigid body helps high speed stability and scalpel-sharp responses. An even more powerful and responsive version of Honda’s award-winning turbo-charged 2.0-liter engine is paired with an improved six-speed manual transmission and rev-matching system for an even more intimate and rewarding connection with the driver.

Powerful Aerodynamic Design

Longer, lower and wider, the new Civic Type R’s sleek and sophisticated design features integrated advanced aerodynamics to achieve well-balanced down force, as well as a reduction of drag.

A new more aggressive front bumper design features a sporty honeycomb grille mesh that echoes the trim inside the cabin. Larger front fender grilled and a new side sill design behind the front wheels enhances airflow efficiency.

Immersive Cockpit Experience

The powerful sedan’s all-new interior supports intense driving experiences with emotive, performance-focused details and features. Type R’s iconic red seats, carpet and trim, and a serialized Type R plate now places on the dash are new for the 2023 model year.

“Even in this “year of the SUV,” it’s great to be a part of a brand that remains focused on the thrilling performance and joy of driving delivered by the all-new Civic Type R,” said Mike Kistemaker, assistant, vice president of Honda sales at American Honda. “Type R is about more speed, power and handling. It’s how a great car makes you feel that really matters and that’s what the all-new Civic Type R is all about.”
