The sporty and fun-to-drive Type R Honda Civic is all-new in 2023. New exterior styling and aerodynamics, an updated interior and a more powerful engine means drivers will experience even more thrills.

Take it for a test drive at Wheaton Honda West, our SW Calgary dealership. Additionally, stay posted to the Wheaton Honda West blog for future updates on the full Honda vehicle lineup.

Type R’s New Aerodynamic Design

The New Type R Honda Civic features a longer, lower and wider design. The Type R’s muscular yet sleek and sophisticated design features beautifully integrated advanced aerodynamics. Naturally, this helps to achieve well-balanced downforce and reduce drag.

Second, new more aggressive front bumper design and sporty honeycomb grille mesh echo the intricate honeycomb trim inside the cabin.

Larger front fender grilles in addition to new side sill spoilers behind the front wheels enhance airflow efficiency.

Third, wider rear doors accentuate its more aggressive stance. A redesigned rear spoiler and a reshaped rear bumper reveal its signature three-round exhaust outlets and a new rear diffuser.

The Civic Type R is available in three visually striking colours:

• Historic Championship White – a Type R exclusive finish
• Sonic Gray
• Rallye Red

The Most Powerful Type R Ever

The 2023 Type R is touted as the most powerful Honda Civic Type R ever made. The new Type R engine will outperform the previous version. Therefore, it will offer 306 horsepower and 295 lb-ft of torque.

On top of a more powerful engine, the Civic Type R’s famously addictive driving feel is further increased. This was done using enhanced suspension and steering performance.

Eventually, when it's time to slow down, the brand new 2023 Type R Civic is once again equipped with Brembo brakes. Unsurprisingly, giving it an unrivalled braking performance.

A Vibrant Updated Interior

The 2023 Honda Civic Type R’s all-new interior supports intense driving experiences. This is done using emotive, performance-focused details and features. Next, Type R’s iconic red seats, carpet and trim, aluminium shift knob, and a serialized Type R plate on the dash are new for the 2023 model year. Notably, Suede-like upholstery with a high friction coefficient works to reduce body slippage in high-G driving situations.

A new +R driving mode exclusive meter design allows the driver to obtain necessary information instantly, alongside a graphic engine rpm display, rev indicator lights, and gear position indicator placed at the top.
