Aligned with Honda\u2019s global commitment to lead the advancement of mobility, Honda Cars Philippines, Inc. (HCPI) welcomes 2023 with the local debut of its high-performance icon, the 6th\u00a0Generation Honda Civic Type R which is by far the most powerful model in Type R\u2019s 30-year history.<\/p>\n

Honda\u2019s latest halo model embodies the brand\u2019s challenging spirit with its latest innovations that are sure to deliver a thrilling driving experience.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Exterior design that combines function and form<\/strong><\/p>\n

The sporty looks of the All-New Civic Type R stands to serve a purpose. Designed with input from aerodynamic development members of the HRC Sakura Super GT race team, the 6th\u00a0generation model is more aerodynamically efficient, therefore, generating, significantly more downforce which improves high-speed stability.<\/p>\n

Based on the Civic Hatchback, it has a new bumper that reduces side wake, functional front fender air outlets, and a side sill garnish that enhances efficiency, contributing to a lower overall coefficient of drag.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Compared to its predecessor, the All-new Honda Civic Type R is 0.8 inches longer, 0.6 inches wider, and 0.5 inches lower. Its A-pillars have been pulled rearward by 1.96 inches to improve visibility.<\/p>\n

This also gives the sports hatch a more elongated hood which improves its overall stance.\u00a0Along with that, this All-New model has a more aggressive front bumper design that features a sporty honeycomb grille mesh echoing the intricate honeycomb trim inside the cabin.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

The more aggressive stance is accentuated by\u00a0wider rear doors\u00a0and a\u00a0reshaped rear bumper revealing its updated signature three-round exhaust outlets.\u00a0You will also be greeted with a\u00a0redesigned rear spoiler\u00a0with aluminum stanchions and a new rear diffuser that\u00a0increases downforce and reduces drag.<\/p>\n

Other notable exterior features of the Civic Type R include LED headlamps and its redesigned LED taillamps, Matte Black finished 19-inch alloy wheels wrapped in 265\/30 high-performance tires, a tailgate spoiler, its tri-tip tailpipe diffuser, and the Type R badges found both on the front grille and tailgate along with the red Honda logo.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

The 2023 Civic Type R will be available in two (2) colors. This includes the return of the iconic racing-heritage color, Championship White, along with Racing Blue Pearl.<\/p>\n

The All-New Civic Type R combines its class-leading, track-ready performance with a sleeker, more sophisticated look that beautifully integrates advanced aerodynamics for a powerful low and wide form.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Its muscular exterior is more aerodynamically efficient, generating significantly more downforce to improve high-speed stability. Improved power-to-weight ratio has also been achieved all thanks to the usage of lightweight resin.<\/p>\n

Be in control with its immersive cabin<\/strong><\/p>\n

Step inside and experience sportiness and refinement to a whole new level. The cabin of the All-New Civic Type R was designed to support intense driving experiences which enhances the exhilaration of driving with emotive, performance-focused details.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Interior ergonomics were developed based on two core principles including \u201cinstantaneous recognition\u201d and \u201cintuitive operation\u201d. This combines easy-to-understand information with natural-feeling controls providing the ultimate pleasure for the driver.<\/p>\n

It shares a familiar cabin layout with the standard Civic though there are a lot of exclusive and interesting quirks to note. For starters, it\u2019s got an aluminum shift knob for that added sportiness and a serialized Type R plate on the dashboard.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

The overall theme of the interior supports a black and red motif, with the red color dominating the racing-inspired Type R bucket seats treated in Alcantara, carpeting, and other finishes in the cabin.<\/p>\n

Storage space is also good on this sports hatchback. It features a new center console with deep and wide cupholders allowing it to accommodate bigger bottles and other items. Along with that, visibility has also been improved all thanks to its flat dashboard, pulled-back A-pillars, and low hood, resulting in a better horizontal viewing angle compared to the previous Type R.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Changes to the exterior and interior maximize driver performance and engagement. Thinner pillars, outer mirrors relocated to the doors, and a lower hood provide greatly improved visibility.<\/p>\n

Blind spots have been minimized and reflective elements reduced. New lightweight, heavily bolstered front sports seats with suede-effect upholstery offer exceptional support and comfort on the track and during long drives, helping drivers sharpen their concentration levels.<\/p>\n

Tech that delivers ultimate driving pleasure<\/strong><\/p>\n

The 6th\u00a0Generation Honda Civic Type R is equipped with a generous amount of technology features. For in-car entertainment, it comes with a 9-inch touchscreen that supports various multimedia functions such as Wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto.<\/p>\n
