A Grand Finale for an Icon: Last Chance to Own a Honda Civic Type R in the Philippines
Honda Cars Philippines, Inc. (HCPI) is commemorating the legacy of the Civic Type R as it takes its final bow in the country.
For generations, the Honda Civic Type R has ignited the passion of Filipino automotive enthusiasts. Honda Cars’ image of performance and a symbol of Honda's pursuit of engineering excellence, the Type R has made its mark on the Philippine motoring landscape, treating drivers to its exhilarating power, precise handling, and distinctive design.
From the legendary EK9 to the latest FL5, each iteration of the Civic Type R has pushed boundaries and set new benchmarks for what a front-wheel-drive performance car can achieve. Locally, the Honda Civic Type R’s Fifth Generation FK8 was first previewed at the 2017 Manila International Auto Show (MIAS). An initial 100 units were made available for the Philippine market, all of which were spoken for within 48 hours upon the announcement of availability. This was followed by a refresh in 2021, where it was now equipped with Honda SENSING, improved brakes, and new colors. Finally, the Sixth Generation FL5 was launched in January 2023. Its presence on Philippine roads has fostered a dedicated community that appreciates its rich heritage and uncompromising spirit.
As HCPI moves forward with upcoming models and innovations, the current generation Civic Type R will soon conclude its official run in the Philippines. This presents a unique opportunity for those who have always dreamed of owning their own unit of the halo model.
HCPI is proud to celebrate the legacy of the Civic Type R in the Philippines. The brand believes its impact on culture and the countless memories created behind its wheel will endure for years to come. HCPI does not view this as a goodbye, but a celebration of an unforgettable era. The Type R brand remains and HCPI is looking forward to whatever iteration it may be in the future.
"We are extremely grateful for how well our customers have received the Civic Type R and shown their appreciation for this model over the past eight (8) years. We are confident that this model's legacy will inspire us as our model range continues to evolve, especially our current and upcoming models that will always give our customers the familiar, fun-to-drive spirit of Honda”, said Ms. Rie Miyake, HCPI President.
This is the last chance to experience the Civic Type R’s thrill and become a part of its enduring legacy. Customers are encouraged to visit their nearest Honda Cars dealership to grab the last few remaining units of the 2025 Year Model Civic Type R as it takes its last lap.
