For 50 years now, the Honda Civic has held its own as one of the most popular small sedans in the world. The high-performance hatchback Civic Type R celebrates its twenty-fifth anniversary this year with a host of new refinements including a new rear diffuser, a functional hood vent, and many new aerodynamic-enhancing features.

Performance Comes Standard
The 2023 Honda Civic Type R offers a combination of speed, handling, and everyday driving enjoyment, thanks to its turbocharged and intercooled 2.0-liter V-Tech inline-four engine that generates 315 HP. The Type R goes from zero to 60 mph in just 4.9 seconds. The new Type R also stops as quickly as it starts thanks to Brembo 4-Piston Aluminum Front Brake Calipers. The Type R’s Drive Select system, which lets drivers fine-tune performance,  features Comfort, Sport, Individual, and  +R modes. The dual axis, McPhearson strut front suspension, and rigid multi-link rear suspension provide exceptional handling and ride control. The Adaptive Damper System reduces roll and pitch for improved feedback, and the "Rev Match Control" feature ensures smooth downshifting. Other notable handling features include Electronic Power Steering, Limited Slip Differential, and Michelin Pilot Sport 4S tires.

Loaded With the Latest Technologies
The 2023 Honda Civic Type R comes equipped with state-of-the-art technology, including its class-leading infotainment system featuring Bluetooth for hands-free calling and music streaming, wireless Android Auto and Apple CarPlay, and a nine-inch color touchscreen with customized settings and shortcuts. The Type R’s standard satellite-linked navigation system uses voice recognition and comes with real-time traffic updates. The 10.2-inch driver information center screen displays vehicle statistics such as miles-to-empty, vehicle speed, and trip miles, as well as important notifications, and warnings. The new Honda Type R also comes with a Bose premium sound system with 12 speakers, a built-in hotspot, and satellite and HD radio. The Honda LogR data logger system allows drivers to monitor their driving habits on their cell phones. Other notable features include speed-sensitive volume control, wireless charging, and a Radio Data System (RDS).

Comfort and Convenience
Designed to enhance the driver's engagement and focus, the Civic Type R's cabin features a sporty red interior, lightweight sports seats, and ergonomic controls tailored for the driver's experience. In addition to the preset driver modes, this year's model also includes a new individual drive mode that allows drivers to customize vehicle settings like throttle response and steering feedback. Standard comfort and convenience features include Push-Button Start, Dual-Zone Automatic

Climate Control, and Power Windows with Auto-Up/Down for the driver and front passenger. The Type R's exclusively designed seats with a red and black, high-bolstered, suede-effect finish, add to its performance feel. Other standard or available comfort and convenience features include a leather-wrapped steering wheel, heated, leather-appointed seats, and driver's and front passenger's illuminated window and door lock controls.

Exceptionally Safety
The 2023 Honda Civic Type R prioritizes safety with standard features such as automatic headlights, seven airbags, electronic stability control, hill-assist control, four-wheel anti-lock brakes, and an electronic parking brake. The Type R’s structural safety has also been improved for the 2023 model year with increased torsional and bending rigidity. The Honda SENSING suite of driver-assist features includes  Cross Traffic Monitor, Blind Spot Information, Forward Collision Warning, Collision

Mitigation Braking,  Adaptive Cruise Control, Lane Keeping Assist, Road Departure Mitigation, Traffic Sign Recognition, and Automatic High Beams. Utilizing a front camera, as well as a combination of sonar sensors, and a high-speed processing chip, the Honda SENSING system detects objects more accurately than conventional systems. Honda's goal is to eliminate traffic collision fatalities involving their vehicles by 2050.
