Honda’s motobike once again undermining the work of spy photographers around the world by publishing images of a fully camouflaged 2023 Civic CHEAP. The pre-production prototype was shown going through a series of high-speed validation tests on the Suzuka Circuit alongside its predecessor.
While the final design of the hatchback is literally kept secret, we can say that some key styling cues distinguish it from the standard version of Civic 11th generation. At the front, it gets a larger grille and larger intakes that direct more cooling air into the engine bay. It has model-specific side skirts, and the rear has a large rear spoiler plus a trio of cool-looking exhaust outlets. Newly styled wheels add a finishing touch to the design, while the lower ride height hints at the suspension changes engineers are testing at Suzuka.
Honda has stopped publishing interior photos, but previous spy photos suggests that the Type R’s cabin is very close to Civic’s. Some of the new parts include sport seats for the front passenger, an aluminum (or look aluminum) gear lever and red stitching.
Similarly, there are no official details on which engine type will blow its track through the three exhaust tips. We don’t expect a big departure from The last generation R type, However. Power will likely come from a turbocharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder to develop more than 306 horsepower and 295 pound-feet of torque. Front-wheel drive will continue to be standard, it looks like Honda is planning to push the Type R into all-wheel drive territory, and buyers will need to choose between manual and automatic transmissions. motion.
Honda will unveil the next Civic Type R in 2022, and sales will begin in the 2023 model year. Until then, Sis will remain the fastest and hottest member of the range; it is powered by a 1.5 liter 4-cylinder engine that turbocharges to 200 hp.
