New Honda Civic Type R final testing

At the Suzuka racetrack, Japan, Honda is finishing testing the most powerful version of the Civic. The new generation Honda Civic, which has long been hiding behind the Type R designation, has previously passed tests at the Nürburgring and Nardo racetracks.

Among the details that, in addition to the camouflage foil, reveal the character of the car, stand out the large red brake calipers behind the dark rims with Michelin Pilot Sport 4 tires, as well as the large spoiler on the fifth door.

Although the integrated drive and hybrid option were mentioned, this will not happen because the current concept has proven to be outstanding. The new Type R will be powered by an improved 2.0-liter four-cylinder turbo petrol engine, from the 10th generation, with more than 306 hp (228 kW) and 295 lb-ft (400 Nm). Power is transmitted to the front axle, which will be assisted by a limited differential lock, via a six-speed manual transmission.

The arrival of the new Civic Type R is expected in 2023. Before unveiling the final product, leading people at Honda claim that the new Civic Type R will be the best so far. There is no reason not to trust them.

2022 Honda Civic Type R

A few days ago we announced the arrival of the new Honda Civic Type R. Now Kolesa has removed the camouflage and shows the look of the most powerful version of the hatchback.

The new Civic Type R is slightly wider than its predecessor, but retains an aggressive look. It is equipped with a new grille, larger wheel arches, centrally placed exhaust tailpipes, larger wheels with Michelin Pilot Sport 4 tires, larger air intakes on the new bumper, a larger rear wing, a new diffuser and a triple exhaust.

Under the hood will be a turbocharged 2.0-liter engine with more than 320 hp (235 kW) and 295 lb-ft (400 Nm) of torque, which are the numbers that the European version of its predecessor has. The engine will be paired with a six-speed manual transmission that will transfer power to the front axle.

The Honda Civic Type R is the 11th generation of this model, which is expected to be, as previously announced, the last Honda model with ICE to be sold in Europe. Although it will arrive on the European market in 2022, American buyers will have to wait until 2023.

Honda Civic Type R new generation

Photos of the camouflaged Honda prototype, which is considered to be the Civic Type R, have appeared recently.

The photos show some details suggesting that the new Civic could have larger openings in the front bumper, a large rear spoiler, centrally placed exhaust tailpipes and larger wheels with Michelin Pilot Sport 4 tires, and red caliper brakes can also be seen.

When it comes to powertrain, the new Type R should be powered by a boosted 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine with 320 hp (235 kW) and 295 lb-ft (400 Nm) of torque. The engine will be paired with a six-speed manual transmission that will transfer power to the front axle. Rumor has it that the Type R could also get a hybrid version with 400 hp (294 kW) and all-wheel drive.

The car should appear next year, and it should arrive on the American market in the second half of 2022. Given that we have little information about the upcoming model, and thus about the price, it is expected that the new Honda Civic Type R should cost around $ 35,000.
