According to Carscoops, the waiting time for Australian customers to receive the Honda Civic Type R will be shortened to just 9 months after Honda confirmed the allocation of additional vehicles.
Despite the new generation Honda Civic Type R being priced at around $48,600 in Australia, which is approximately $8,000 higher than the previous FK8 model, customers in the country still show a strong desire to own this car. In January, Honda Australia announced that the Honda Civic Type R was sold out for the next 18 months.
However, Carscoops revealed that Honda has recently allocated an additional 500 Civic Type R cars for Australia in 2023, which means that customers in this country will receive the car by February 2024 at the latest.
“I am delighted to be able to allocate more new generation Civic Type R cars to the Australian market. Honda’s loyal customers will benefit from the timely delivery of their cars,” said Carolyn McMahon, Director of Honda Australia.

Initial sources indicate that Australia was initially allocated around 600 new generation Honda Civic Type R cars. Previously, the FK8 generation of the Civic Type R was reported to have achieved modest sales of between 1,200 and 1,300 units over a 4-year period.
Similar to other markets, the Honda Civic Type R in Australia is equipped with a turbocharged 4-cylinder engine with a displacement of 2.0L, producing a maximum power of 315 horsepower. This gives the Civic Type R a power advantage over cheaper rivals such as the Hyundai i30 N or Volkswagen Golf GTI, while being on par with the 315 horsepower output of the Volkswagen Golf R, which is priced at around $48,750 in the Australian market.
