The new FL5-generation Civic Type R had its first full yr in the marketplace in 2023, and whereas Honda did not record gross sales figures in its 2023 report, we reached out and bought the numbers. A Honda spokesperson tells us it offered 3,345 examples of the Type R in 2023, which represents 1.7 % of the 200,381 of the Civic’s complete.

Additionally, Honda confirmed that it offered 7,128 items of the Civic Si final yr, or 3.6 % of complete Civic gross sales. Both these figures are a small fraction of the full Civic’s moved, however not a foul consequence for manual-transmission-only fashions. 

Still, the Civic Type R lagged behind the Toyota GR Corolla (5,739 units), and simply pipped the Volkswagen Golf R (3,238). But, while you add in 1,871 gross sales of the Acura Integra Type S, a automotive mechanically nearly an identical to the Civic Type R, Honda will get rather a lot nearer to the GR Corolla, with 5,216 vehicles offered. The Civic Si falls simply shy of its closest rival, the Volkswagen GTI, with 7,451 gross sales.

Demand for the Type S appears sturdy given it solely arrived at sellers final June. Acura offered greater than half as many Type Ss as Honda did Type Rs. We’re very curious to see the place gross sales find yourself in 2024, which would be the first full yr each are provided on the identical time. The Integra Type S prices round $7,000 than the Civic Type R, however provides some good luxuries for the worth.
