- The 2023 Honda Civic Type R has a starting price of $43,990—about $5k more than its predecessor.
- The redesigned CTR is still about $1000 less than the limited-production Limited Edition from the previous generation.
- Honda says the 2023 Civic Type R will start hitting dealerships in the U.S. tomorrow.
Those who want to live fast and furiously with the 2023 Civic Type R will have to shell out at least $43,990. That’s the starting price—before any dealer markups—that Honda is asking for its hottest hatchback, which the company says will start hitting U.S. dealer lots tomorrow.
The redesigned CTR’s raised base price means it costs about $5000 more than its predecessor, which opened at $38,910 for the 2021 model year. Still, the ’23 Type R isn’t the most expensive Type R ever sold in America. That title goes to the previous-gen Limited Edition that cost around $45k during its limited production run.
With today’s news, the new Civic Type R is now in the same monetary territory as the all-wheel-drive 315-hp 2023 Volkswagen Golf R and its $45,385 base price. Obviously, the big difference between the two hatches is the mightiest Civic only comes with front-wheel drive. In that regard, the 2023 CTR costs just over $10,000 more than the front-drive-only 286-hp Hyundai Elantra N.
Like the outgoing model, we don’t expect the 2023 Honda Civic Type R to offer many options. However, we’re told its standard Michelin Pilot Sport 4S summer rubber can be swapped for an even stickier set of Cup 2 tires. We just don’t yet know how expensive of an upgrade that will be because Honda hasn’t said.
For anyone who cares, the ’23 Type R’s EPA fuel-economy figures have also been released. It’s rated at 22 mpg city, 28 highway, and 24 combined. Those ratings are almost identical to the previous generation which had a higher combined estimate of 25 mpg.
