Joining the Tokyo Auto Salon exhibition this year, Honda brought a series of models for display. Among them, the concept car called Honda Civic RS attracted a lot of attention. Although it is called a concept car, the Honda Civic RS looks no different from a commercial car ready to go into production.

Developed based on the Civic Hatchback, the Honda Civic RS will be positioned lower than the Civic Type R when it hits the market. It can be said that this model fills the gap between the regular Honda Civic Hatchback and the higher-performance Civic Type R.
Appearing at the exhibition in their home country of Japan, the Honda Civic RS is dressed entirely in black exterior, adding to the mysterious and impressive look of this car. The highlight of the car lies in the redesigned front bumper with sharper lines and narrower air vents on both sides. Meanwhile, the red RS logo is placed on the grille and the tailgate, creating a contrast with the exterior paint.

The rest of the body and the alloy wheels of the Honda Civic RS remain unchanged from the standard Civic Hatchback. These wheels feature a strong and sporty dual-spoke design and are painted in glossy black, creating a “contrasting tone-on-tone” feeling with the exterior.

Currently, Honda does not mention anything about the engine for the Civic RS in the Japanese market. However, it is highly likely that the car will use a familiar 1.5L 4-cylinder turbocharged gasoline engine, producing a maximum power of 200 horsepower.
This engine will be accompanied by a 6-speed manual transmission. This is perhaps something that many people are more interested in because the current Honda Civic in the Japanese market only has a continuously variable transmission (CVT).

In addition, Honda promises that the Civic RS will be fine-tuned to provide a more exciting driving experience. Therefore, it will not be surprising if this model is improved in terms of chassis and suspension system.
Furthermore, it is predicted that the Honda Civic RS will have limited slip differential, stiffer springs, upgraded shock absorbers, thicker stabilizer bars, and larger brakes than the standard Civic Hatchback.
According to the plan, the Honda Civic RS will officially go on sale in the Japanese market in the autumn of this year. This will be a more economical alternative for those who can’t wait for the Honda Civic Type R. In the Japanese market, Honda had to stop accepting deposits for the Civic Type R because the delivery time was extended.
