AutoExec Summary
The last Honda Civic Type R was beloved as one of the best hot hatches. Can the new generation live up to that reputation? The 2023 Honda Civic Type R is available in Australia for $72,600 drive-away. It’s more expensive than its predecessor by around $12,000, but offers numerous features including a mechanical limited-slip differential, adaptive dampers, and rev-matching. It’s powered by a turbocharged 2.0-litre four-cylinder engine delivering 235kW and 420Nm through a six-speed manual transmission. Despite the price hike, it remains a strong contender against rivals like the Volkswagen Golf R and Toyota GR Corolla.
