It’s the most powerful Type R ever offered on our shores, but Australia’s fuel quality means we miss out on a handful of kilowatts.

2023 Honda Civic Type R power output confirmed for Australia-0

Performance figures for the 2023 Honda Civic Type R hot hatch have been released ahead of the car’s launch early next year.

Honda has announced the Civic Type R will produce 235kW and 420Nm from its 2.0-litre turbocharged four-cylinder petrol engine in Australia – an improvement of 7kW and 20Nm respectively over the previous ‘CTR’.

Leaked information in July 2022 – and confirmed today by the brand – reveals the Type R is being offered with slightly more power in its home market of Japan, with a total of 243kW/420Nm on tap when it goes on sale there tomorrow.



While our lower quality fuel is likely to blame for the 8kW power deficit, Australian-delivered cars still get the full-fat 420Nm of torque being offered on the Japanese variant.

Despite the minor power difference, the new Civic Type R is the most powerful model ever sold in Australia, while fuel economy is expected to be improved in this new generation.

Other performance highlights announced by Honda today include:



  • A redesigned turbocharger, increased air intake flow and a more efficient exhaust
  • Larger radiator and air opening for improved cooling
  • Lighter flywheel for the transmission, with an “optimised” shift gate pattern
  • “Significantly more rigid” body structure with larger track widths
  • Two-piece front brake discs with improved cooling
  • Four drive modes: Comfort, Sport, +R and Individual
  • 19-inch matte black wheels with Michelin Pilot Sport 4S tyres
  • Serialised Type R build plate on the dashboard
  • Unique digital instrument cluster views for different modes
  • LogR performance data-logging application

Though overseas pricing is already known, local prices will be announced closer to the launch of the 2023 Honda Civic Type R in early 2023.
