The first Civic to receive the 'Type R' nameplate was based on the sixth-generation of the fan-base 'EK' Civic. The contributing base model was the JDM Civic 3-door hatchback called the SiR (code-named EK4). Like its sibling, the Integra Type R DC2/JDM DB8, the Civic SiR's transformation into a Type R was achieved by working on the base model and improving it to Honda's idea of a car capable of high performance on the circuit.

The first Civic to receive the Type R badge was introduced on August 19, 1997, as the EK9. The EK9 shared many characteristics with the Integra Type R DC2/JDM DB8 such as omission of sound deadening and other weight reduction measures, a hand-ported 1.6-litre DOHC VTEC B16B 4-cylinder engine, front-helical limited-slip differential and a close-ratio 5-speed manual transmission. The B16B engine boasted one of the highest power output per liter of all time for a naturally aspirated engine with {{convert|185|PS|kW hp|0|abbr=on}} at 8,200 rpm and {{convert|160|Nm|lbft|0|abbr=on}} at 7,500 rpm of torque from {{convert|1595|cc|L|1|abbr=on|order=flip}} of displacement. For the first time, a strategically seam-welded monocoque chassis was used to improve chassis rigidity. The interior featured red Recaro bucket seats, red door cards, red Type R floor mats, a titanium shift knob, and a Momo leather-wrapped steering wheel. The EK9 was only available for sale in Japan.{{cite web|url=https://jalopnik.com/driving-this-jdm-honda-civic-type-r-was-as-perfect-as-i-1789197385|title=Driving This JDM Honda Civic Type R Was As Perfect As I Imagined|date=2016-11-26|first=Kurt|last=Bradley|publisher=Jalopnik|access-date=2018-03-03|archive-date=6 March 2019|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190306043225/https://jalopnik.com/driving-this-jdm-honda-civic-type-r-was-as-perfect-as-i-1789197385|url-status=live}}{{cite web|url=https://www.autoexpress.co.uk/honda/93012/honda-civic-type-r-1997-2000|title=Honda Civic Type R 1997-2000|website=www.autoexpress.co.uk|access-date=2019-11-19|archive-date=6 August 2020|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200806005249/https://www.autoexpress.co.uk/honda/93012/honda-civic-type-r-1997-2000|url-status=live}}

Performance figures include a {{cvt|0-60|mph|kph|0|abbr=on|order=flip}} acceleration time of 6.7 seconds and a quarter-mile time of 15.3 seconds. The EK9 could attain a top speed of {{cvt|140|mph|kph|0|abbr=on|order=flip}}.{{cite web|url=https://www.pistonheads.com/features/ph-features-heroes/honda-civic-type-r-ek9--ph-heroes/35148|title=Honda Civic Type R (EK9): PH Heroes|date=2016-10-19|first=Guy R|last=Baker|publisher=Piston Heads|access-date=2019-11-19|archive-date=13 December 2019|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20191213220238/https://www.pistonheads.com/features/ph-features-heroes/honda-civic-type-r-ek9--ph-heroes/35148|url-status=live}}

In 1998, the Civic Type R Motor Sports edition was introduced. It came with steel wheels, the standard grey EK interior, manual windows, no air conditioning and without any other creature comforts.

The Type Rx model introduced in 1999 was given a CD player, body-colored retractable electric door mirrors, power windows, auto air conditioning, keyless entry unlock system, aluminium sports pedals, and a carbon type centre panel. The Type Rx was the final model of the EK9 generation. Production of the EK9 Civic Type R totalled 16,000 units.{{cite web|url=https://www.pistonheads.com/news/ph-features-heroes/honda-civic-type-r-ek9--ph-heroes/35148|title=Honda Civic Type R (EK9): PH Heroes|date=2019-10-16|first=Guy R.|last=Baker|publisher=Piston Heads|access-date=2020-07-07|archive-date=8 July 2020|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200708165037/https://www.pistonheads.com/news/ph-features-heroes/honda-civic-type-r-ek9--ph-heroes/35148|url-status=live}}

In 1999, Honda tuning company Spoon Sports designed an N1 racing version of the Type R that had the B16B engine redline increased from 8,400 rpm to 11,000 rpm.{{Citation|author=Miroshi|title=[ENG CC] 11,000 RPM B16B Spoon Civic Type R EK9 HV39|date=28 June 2014|url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EoW4ud32MyI|access-date=15 July 2018|archive-date=24 August 2019|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190824135204/https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EoW4ud32MyI|url-status=live}}

In 2001, Honda introduced the next generation of the Civic Type R as a unique 3-door hatchback to the UK market, which was manufactured in Swindon, England. This European Domestic Market Civic Type R featured a {{convert|200|PS|kW hp|0|abbr=on}} 2.0-liter i-VTEC engine (K20A2) and the regular Type R treatment of seam welding, close-ratio 6-speed transmission and upgraded brakes, but did not include some of the other higher-end features such as the helical limited-slip differential and red Recaro race seats that were standard on the EK9.

However, Honda marketed a JDM (Japanese domestic market) version of the EP3 (which was exclusively manufactured in Swindon, UK and was shipped to Japan), which retained the highly-renowned helical LSD similar to that of the EK9 and red Recaro race seats. Other differences of the JDM model included a more track-oriented chassis/undercarriage settings as compared to the European model as well as a more powerful engine having a power output of {{convert|215|PS|kW hp|0|abbr=on}} (designated K20A) had a fully-balanced crankshaft assembly with the different intake manifold, exhaust manifold, high-lift camshafts, high-compression pistons, chrome-moly flywheel and ECU programming. All of the Japan-spec K20A Type R powertrains were built in Japan and shipped to the Swindon plant to be installed in the Japan-spec Type R EP3. The JDM EP3 was also available in the traditional Type R Championship White while the European domestic market (EDM) version was not. The EDM variant has more-relaxed gear ratios and some high-rpm torque traded for low-rpm torque compared to the JDM variant.{{cite web|url=https://www.evo.co.uk/honda/civic-type-r/15457/should-you-buy-a-honda-civic-type-r-ep3|title=Should you buy a Honda Civic Type-R (EP3)?|date=2015-03-10|first=Anthony|last=Ingram|publisher=Evo|access-date=2019-03-03|archive-date=6 March 2019|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190306111319/https://www.evo.co.uk/honda/civic-type-r/15457/should-you-buy-a-honda-civic-type-r-ep3|url-status=live}}{{cite web|url=https://www.pistonheads.com/gassing/topic.asp?h=0&f=47&t=1518874|title=Civic Type R EP3 JDM|date=2015-06-15|publisher=Piston Heads|access-date=2019-03-04|archive-date=6 March 2019|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190306043443/https://www.pistonheads.com/gassing/topic.asp?h=0&f=47&t=1518874|url-status=live}}

In 2003, the EP3 was updated with many improvements – revised EPS with quicker steering, revised suspension settings, projector headlamps (JDM came equipped with halogens only while the EDM came with an option for HIDs with self-leveling motors), lighter clutch and flywheel assembly, etc. Based on Honda literature, this facelifted (FL) model was targeted at addressing customers' and critics' feedback such as understeer on the limit (due to the front MacPherson strut setup), numb steering response and lack of low-end torque.{{cite web|url=https://www.evo.co.uk/honda/civic-type-r/14073/honda-civic-type-r-ep3-buying-checkpoints|title=Honda Civic Type R EP3 Buying Checkpoints|date=2013-03-14|work=Evo|access-date=2019-03-04|archive-date=6 March 2019|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190306044223/https://www.evo.co.uk/honda/civic-type-r/14073/honda-civic-type-r-ep3-buying-checkpoints|url-status=live}}

A total of 25,798 units were built for Europe and Japan. Europe received 24,334 units and Japan received 1,464 units.

In 2003, Honda celebrated 30 years of the Civic badge by offering a special edition 30th Anniversary Civic Type R. This special edition featured red Recaro bucket seats, air conditioning, privacy glass on the rear windows, a leather-wrapped MOMO steering wheel, red interior carpet and door cards. The 30th Anniversary models in the UK were available in Nighthawk Black, Satin Silver and Milano Red. Only 300 of these models were produced, 100 in each color.{{cite web |url=https://www.pistonheads.com/news/ph-japanesecars/honda-civic-type-r-ep3--market-watch/32267 |title=Honda Civic Type R (EP3): Market Watch |date=2015-06-01 |first=Guy R. |last=Baker |publisher=Piston Heads |access-date=2019-03-04 |archive-date=6 March 2019 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190306042703/https://www.pistonheads.com/news/ph-japanesecars/honda-civic-type-r-ep3--market-watch/32267 |url-status=live }}

In 2005, towards the end of the EP3's production run, Honda introduced the Civic Type R Premier edition which had Recaro Trendline seats (similar to those found in the Anniversary Edition, only in red and black rather than all red), a darker shade of fabric on the rear seat centre sections, a MOMO steering wheel, red carpet, door linings, "Type R" embossed into the front brake calipers and black privacy glass on the rear windows. Air conditioning was an option. They were available in Milano Red, Nighthawk Black, Cosmic Grey and Satin Silver.

In 2004, Honda introduced the "C Package" option (¥330,000 JPY) to Japan's Civic Type R lineup which included an additional color, Satin Silver Metallic, HID lighting, rear privacy glass, automatic air conditioner, carbon fibre accents to the dashboard and outside air temperature sensor.{{cite web |url=http://www.honda.co.jp/news/2004/4040122-civic.html |title=マイナーモデルチェンジ(2004.01.22) |publisher=Honda.co.jp |access-date=2 November 2010 |archive-date=4 November 2010 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20101104174832/http://www.honda.co.jp/news/2004/4040122-civic.html |url-status=live }}

File:2005EP3VBP.jpgFor the last production year (2005), the EP3 Type R was offered in Vivid Blue Pearl for the European market. A total of 132 EP3s, which were all left-hand drive, were produced in Vivid Blue Pearl.

The 2005 Vivid Blue Pearl EP3 is often mistaken for a Premier Edition, which it is not. They were sold with the standard, facelifted Type R interior, although they had other variations, which were not to be found on the right-hand driven EP3s sold for the UK market.

All 132 Vivid Blue Pearl EP3s were delivered with xenon headlights, which includes integrated headlight washer jets in the front bumpers, as well as a height sensor in the right rear wheel arch, which will automatically adjust the height of the light beam as per required by EU regulations.

It is also fitted with rear privacy glass and outside air temperature sensor, as well as the EUDM center console with mechanical knobs placed over the radio unit, as opposed to the UKDM, USDM and JDM models with electronic knobs fitted on the side of the radio unit.

Sales figures

The third generation of the Civic Type R was offered in two distinct models: one developed for the Japanese domestic market and the other for UK and international markets each matching the availability of their regular 8th generation counterparts.

The Japanese market Civic Type R (FD2) went on sale on 30 March 2007. For the first time, the JDM Civic Type R was sold as a four-door sedan, rather than a three-door hatchback. The FD2 Type R was bigger, wider and heavier than the EP3 Type R. The wheelbase grew from {{convert|2570|mm|in|1|abbr=on}} to {{convert|2700|mm|in|1|abbr=on}}, giving the FD2 more stability during high speed cornering. The Japanese model's engine power output is higher than the European versions, with {{convert|225|PS|kW hp|abbr=on}} being generated at 8,000 rpm and {{convert|215|Nm|lbft||abbr=on}} of torque peaking at 6,100 rpm (versus {{convert|201|PS|kW hp|abbr=on}} at 7,800 rpm and {{convert|193|Nm|lbft|abbr=on}} at 5,600 rpm for the European model). Honda quoted that mid-range is increased by {{convert|10|PS|kW hp|0|abbr=on}}. Power is sent to the front wheels through a close-ratio six-speed manual transmission, and a helical limited-slip differential is fitted as standard. The front brake discs are {{convert|320|mm|in|1|abbr=on}} diameter and fitted with four-piston Brembo calipers. The car is fitted with Bridgestone Potenza RE070 tires having a size of 225/40 R18.

Honda claims the chassis is 50% more rigid than the previous Japan-only pre-facelift DC5 Integra Type R and 25% more rigid than the previous Japan-only facelift DC5 Integra Type R. The FD2 features an independent rear suspension rather than the torsion beam configuration used on the FN2 Type-R.{{cite web |url=http://www.pistonheads.com/news/default.asp?storyId=16084 |title=PistonHeads Headlines |publisher=Pistonheads.com |date=29 March 2007 |access-date=2 November 2010 |archive-date=28 June 2009 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20090628115120/http://www.pistonheads.com/news/default.asp?storyId=16084 |url-status=live }} To save weight, aluminium is used extensively and bonded with adhesive instead of welded.

Exterior wise, the front bumper is wider and different from the standard Civic designed aerodynamically. The rear bumper features a diffuser built into the bumper and a large rear wing completes the aero package. Inside, the trademark black and red bucket seats are no longer made by Recaro as with previous versions but designed in-house by Honda. Also gone is the Momo made steering wheel, instead replaced by a Honda made version. The familiar red-on-black color scheme or black-on-black scheme is offered on Championship White and Super Platinum Metallic Silver while a black-on-black scheme with red stitching is for the Vivid Blue Pearl model only.

In October 2008, the Type R received new colors, those being Premium White Pearl, Premium Deep Violet Pearl and Crystal Black Pearl. The Vivid Blue Pearl color was dropped.

In back to back tests, the Civic Type R (FD2) was on average 1 second quicker than the Integra Type-R (DC5) at the Tsukuba Circuit and four seconds faster at the longer Suzuka Circuit.{{cite web |url=http://www.evo.co.uk/carreviews/evocarreviews/209845/honda_civic.html |title=Meaden, Richard (September 2007), "Honda Civic Type R", evo |publisher=Evo.co.uk |date=6 September 2007 |access-date=2 November 2010 |archive-date=14 September 2010 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20100914210707/http://www.evo.co.uk/carreviews/evocarreviews/209845/honda_civic.html |url-status=live }}

In a back-to-back test on the United Kingdom TV program Fifth Gear, the FD2 Type-R was three seconds quicker than the equivalent FN2 UK version around Castle Combe Circuit in wet conditions. However, the FN2 managed a 13.1 second quarter mile pass at Killarney Raceway.{{cite web |url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=54W0TgJGgoE |title=Vicki Butler-Henderson |date=18 September 2007 |publisher=YouTube |access-date=2 November 2010 |archive-date=13 January 2016 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160113050819/https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=54W0TgJGgoE |url-status=live }}

A total of 14,062 FD2 Civic Type R units were produced until it ceased production in August 2010 due to failure to meet the upcoming emission requirements. Following the previous success due to the introduction of the FN2 Civic Type R from Europe in 2009, another batch of FN2 Type R with minor updates was available in Japan from fall 2010. However, the engine was the same K20Z4 straight-4 as used in the European version.{{cite web |url=http://www.autoevolution.com/news/2011-honda-civic-type-r-euro-launched-in-japan-25902.html |title=Honda Civic Type R Euro Launched in Japan |author=Andrei Costea |date=1 November 2010 |publisher=Autoevolution |access-date=2 November 2010 |archive-date=8 November 2010 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20101108011922/http://www.autoevolution.com/news/2011-honda-civic-type-r-euro-launched-in-japan-25902.html |url-status=live }}

The European and international market Civic Type R is offered only as a three-door hatchback and uses a different chassis and internal layout (notably tank placement below the driver's seat), which will serve as the base for the next European version of the Jazz. The rear suspension, formerly a double wishbone setup, was changed to a less complex torsion beam axle. The drive train is largely the same as the predecessor, offering {{convert|201|PS|kW hp||abbr=on}} at 7,800 rpm and {{convert|193|Nm|lbft||abbr=on}} of torque at 5,600 rpm,{{cite web|title=Civic Type R Euro specifications |url=http://www.honda.co.jp/CIVICTYPE-R/EURO/spec/ |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20091108122305/http://www.honda.co.jp/CIVICTYPE-R/EURO/spec/ |archive-date=8 November 2009 |publisher=Honda Motor Company Japan }} with 90 percent of peak torque is available from 2,500 rpm.{{cite news|last=Britten|first=Tim|title=Honda unleashes Australia's first Civic Type R|url=http://www.goauto.com.au/mellor/mellor.nsf/story2/44A532FAC8336980CA2572FE000C4C14|newspaper=Go Auto (Australia)|date=18 June 2007|access-date=27 July 2012|archive-date=28 October 2012|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20121028164213/http://www.goauto.com.au/mellor/mellor.nsf/story2/44A532FAC8336980CA2572FE000C4C14|url-status=live}} The car is fitted with 225/40 R18 Y88 Bridgestone Potenza RE050A tires, while optional 19-inch Rage alloys fitted with Yokohama Advan Sport 225/35 ZR19 88Y tires were also available.

Type R GT
From introduction in 2007, The Type R GT trim includes dual-zone climate control (Left:right independent), rain-sensing windscreen wipers, refrigerated glove box, automatic headlights with dusk sensor, front fog lights, power-folding wing mirrors, cruise control, front and rear curtain airbags. In the UK market from 2009 model year, GT models also gained HID headlights with auto levelling, headlight washers with switch, USB and AUX connectors located in the arm rest storage area as well as a multi LED high level rear brake light to replace the previous design. An LSD was fitted to all GT models from April 2010 production also (this was never made available on base Type R models)

FN2 Type R's were finished in the same four colors as the standard FN2, and a new color called Deep Sapphire Blue Pearl added to the colors offered from 2010, at the same time Deep Bronze Metallic was dropped. Only 226 examples of the Deep Sapphire Blue Pearl were built in Type-R specification, 114 for the UK and 112 for Europe.

In 2009, the Championship White Edition Type R was made available and added a Helical LSD to the Type R GT feature roster as well as trim items such as dark tint front grill and fuel filler cap as well as color-matched white wheels.

Type R Heritage
As often, names and trims vary even within domain markets down to local ones, and a Heritage trim replaces the GT version in some of them, adding Xenon/HID lights to the mix. The Heritage's infotainment system version adds Bluetooth telephone system and voice recognition DVD satellite navigation. This model was not offered in the UK.

Type R Race
A more radical trim dubbed Race differs from the Heritage by removing components (incl. HID, AC, fog lights, audio system, soundproofing, some airbags) to reduce weight as much as {{convert|40|kg|lb|0|abbr=on}}.

Type R (Aust)
The Type R (Australasia) trim includes dual-zone climate control (Left:right independent), rain-sensing windscreen wipers, refrigerated glove box, front fog lights, power-folding wing mirrors, cruise control, CD/radio/apple integration, front and rear curtain airbags. It is finished in the same four colors as the Euro standard FN2.

Over 12,000 Civic Type Rs were sold in the UK since January 2007, Honda continued to export the car to the Australian market into 2011. It was also exported to Japan and marketed as Civic Type-R EURO in a limited edition in fall 2010, following a successful run in November 2009.{{cite web |url=http://www.autoblog.com/2010/04/22/honda-fixin-to-release-new-limited-edition-civic-type-r-three-d/ |title=Honda to release new limited-edition Civic Type-R three-door in Japan |date=22 April 2010 |first=Zach |last=Bowman |publisher=Autoblog |access-date=22 August 2010 |archive-date=26 April 2010 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20100426033209/http://www.autoblog.com/2010/04/22/honda-fixin-to-release-new-limited-edition-civic-type-r-three-d |url-status=live }}

The Civic Type R Prototype was unveiled in September 2016 at the Paris Motor Show, and the production version unveiled at the 2017 Geneva Motor Show. The new car builds on Honda's heritage in developing high-performance hatchbacks.{{cite web |url=http://world.honda.com/news/2016/4160929eng.html |title=New Civic Type R Prototype breaks cover in Paris |publisher=World.honda.com |date=29 September 2016 |access-date=16 June 2017 |archive-date=7 July 2017 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170707095437/http://world.honda.com/news/2016/4160929eng.html |url-status=live }} Being based upon the FK8 generation of Civics which was designed as a global car, this made it easier to export the Type R to markets that already had the standard Civic hatchback available for sale.{{cite web |url=http://jalopnik.com/mother-of-god-the-next-honda-civic-type-r-looks-absolu-1787219883 |title=Mother Of God: The Next Honda Civic Type R Looks Absolutely Insane |date=29 September 2016 |publisher=Jalopnik.com |access-date=16 June 2017 |archive-date=17 June 2017 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170617073416/http://jalopnik.com/mother-of-god-the-next-honda-civic-type-r-looks-absolu-1787219883 |url-status=live }}

The design is based on the Civic Hatchback, with a winged carbon fiber effect splitter with red accent line, slatted ducts, diamond-mesh air intakes, red 'H' badge above a new air vent at the nose of the car, new air intake on the hood, an air scoop sited centrally in a trapezoidal recess, smoked lenses for the LED headlights, indicators and side repeaters, carbon fiber effect side skirts, 20-inch piano black alloy wheels with red accents, 245/30 R20 high-performance tires, enlarged wheel arches, a carbon fiber effect diffuser which runs below the wider rear bumper, 3 tailpipes with a pair of directional strakes at each side, central tailpipe in bright metallic red and unique peaks at the roof flanks that point backward.

The FK8 Civic Type R uses the same engine as its predecessor, a turbocharged inline-four with increased power to {{cvt|320|PS|kW hp|0|abbr=on}} in the European and Japanese version but remains the same {{cvt|310|PS|kW hp|0|abbr=on}} in other markets. The engine is mated to a close-ratio 6-speed manual transmission continuing the tradition of its predecessors with limited-slip differential as standard. The aerodynamic elements increase downforce even further as compared to the outgoing model. The FK8 has a top speed of {{cvt|169|mph|kph|0|abbr=on|order=flip}} making it the fastest Civic Type R model to date.

In back-to-back testing involving an FK8 and FK2 Type R, the reviewers praised the FK8's comfortable ride and feedback and criticised the FK2's harsh ride on the road and worse handling when the R+ driving mode was activated. The reviewers also complained about the FK2's interior being dated but stated that this was due to the model's late arrival at the end of the base model's production run.{{cite web|url=https://www.carthrottle.com/post/fk2-vs-fk8-honda-civic-type-r-how-much-has-the-game-moved-on/|title=FK2 Vs FK8 Honda Civic Type R: How Much Has The Game Moved On?|date=2019-03-03|first=Matt|last=Robinson|publisher=Car Throttle|access-date=2019-03-04|archive-date=6 March 2019|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190306111357/https://www.carthrottle.com/post/fk2-vs-fk8-honda-civic-type-r-how-much-has-the-game-moved-on/|url-status=live}}

The interior of the Type R is based on the base model Civic and has a low driving position with the gear shift lever positioned high in order to allow for easy gear changes. The interior has red and black color as standard with sports seats along with faux carbon fiber trim. The driver's seat and the steering wheel are adjustable. A reversing camera is standard for easier rear visibility while reversing while parking sensors are standard in the GT Trim. The interior although lauded for its comfort and user-friendliness is criticised for its infotainment system which has been described as slow and difficult to operate. The fit and finish are considered to be comparable with its competitors. Safety features include automatic emergency braking, traffic sign recognition, lane departure warning and automatic high beam assistance which are carried over from the base Civic. The GT trim adds blindspot monitoring and cross-traffic alert, parking sensors at the front and rear, dual-zone climate control, power-folding door mirrors and infotainment upgrades that include wireless phone charging and in-built sat-navigation along with a more powerful 11-speaker stereo. The Type R earned a Euro NCAP 5 star crash test rating.{{cite web|url=https://www.whatcar.com/honda/civic/hatchback/review/|title=Honda Civic Type R review|work=What Car?|access-date=2019-03-04|archive-date=22 June 2018|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180622091303/https://www.whatcar.com/honda/civic/hatchback/review/|url-status=live}}

The FL5 Civic Type R is considered to be less aggressive in design compared to its predecessor with less prominent decorative vents and smaller air outlets.{{cite news |last=Lye |first=Gerard |date=2022-07-21 |title=2023 Honda Civic Type R debuts with a more subtle design, enhanced 2.0L VTEC Turbo engine and 6MT |website=Paul Tan |publisher=Driven Communications |location=Malaysia |url=https://paultan.org/2022/07/21/2023-honda-civic-type-r-debuts/ |access-date=2022-07-21}} It uses a smaller 19-inch wheel compared to the previous generation which had 20-inch wheels, although the contact patch is wider due to the usage of Michelin Pilot Sport 4S tires with 265/30-profile (previously 245/30). Equipped with widened fenders like its predecessor, the FL5 model in contrast gained widened rear doors and rear quarters instead of using a plastic add-on to achieve wider rear fenders.

In the interior, the model is equipped with semi-bucket seats, red carpeting and floor mats, and a specific interface for the instrument panel screen and infotainment screen which included the Honda LogR data logger to store data such as lap times.{{Cite web |last=Stafford |first=Eric |date=2022-07-21 |title=2023 Honda Civic Type R Has Toned-Down Looks, Tuned-Up Bits |url=https://www.caranddriver.com/news/a40656453/2023-honda-civic-type-r-revealed/ |access-date=2022-07-21 |website=Car and Driver |language=en-US}}

The 2.0-litre turbocharged petrol engine is carried over from the previous generation with incremental changes such as a revised turbocharger that features a more compact housing to improve the overall unit efficiency. The turbine itself has had both its blade count and shape optimized to boost power and improve airflow.
