Over four years after its debut, the sixth-generation (FL5) Honda Civic Type R has been given a mid-cycle refresh that brings with it more aggressive styling, aero and cooling improvements as well as better driving dynamics. First debuting in the United States for the 2027 model year, the updated Civic Type R will arrive at dealerships with a manufacturer’s suggested retail price of USD48,695 (about RM199k).
Starting on the outside, the Civic Type R receives a revised front fascia that features a deeper front splitter for increased downforce. You’ll also notice the larger lower intake that promotes improved airflow velocity by reduce turbulence, which Honda says increases engine cooling for sustained performance during demanding track driving. For 2027, the hot hatch gains a new Meteorite Grey colour that joins Boost Blue Pearl, Sonic Gray Pearl and Championship White.
