A two-year waiting period for the 2023 Honda Civic Type R!

KUALA LUMPUR: Honda introduced the Civic Type R hot hatch almost 25 years ago and even today the car has a huge fan following. A good proof of it is the latest-gen Civic Type R car that was recently announced for Japan.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

  • Will the all-new Civic Type R ever arrive in Malaysia?

    Though there is no official word from Honda Malaysia yet, however, given the availability of the last two Civic Type R models, there is a good possibility of the arrival of the new Civic Type R.
  • Is the new Civic Type R costlier than the previous-gen model?

    Yes. The 2023 model is 5.2 percent more expensive than the previous generation.
  • As per Japanese media, since the new Civic Type R’s September 2022 arrival announcement, the car has received more than 10,000 orders. All this is given that the 2023 model is 5.2 percent more expensive than the previous generation.

    Initially, the automaker announced the delivery to commence by December, however, now due to supply chain issues, Honda has pushed the date by almost 12 months. Given the overwhelming response to the hot hatch, Honda dealers in Japan had to push orders for now. Also, Honda’s official website states that deliveries would take more than half a year.

    Overall, it is estimated that Honda Japan would take around two years to complete the Civic Type R’s existing orders.
