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.

Honda Civic – two halves of the same car

The Honda Civic has always been a compact sports gene, while the Type-R model required a lot of attention from the driver.

Ever since the early 90s, drivers would overestimate their own abilities and very often end up wrapped around a pole. Such a situation occurred recently in Denver.

According to Renee Gutierrez-Martinez, the mother of the car owner, at the time of the accident the car was being driven by her daughter’s boyfriend, Kevin Acosta. He blamed the older driver, who allegedly took away his advantage and hit him in the side of the vehicle. This pushed him off the road and then hit a light pole.

The published video shows the Civic after the accident, or at least what was left of it. Luckily, there were no fatalities. In the accident, all participants suffered minor injuries, including the driver, who allegedly caused the accident by taking away the advantage. Honda is obviously going to a scrapyard, and some parts, including the engine, could be on sale soon.
