Remember that when the 11th generation of Civic was listed, most of the voices in the industry evaluated it as "full of home style", and the cancellation of the manual gear more or less broke the faith of many domestic Civic fans. At that time, even more people in the industry said that Civic had finally lived to be the way he hated it the most. Of course, these jokes are precisely because the image of Civic's athletic performance is too deeply rooted in people's hearts.
However, in recent times, the news that Dongfeng Honda has confirmed that it will officially introduce the 11th generation Civic Type R next year has also aroused widespread concern in the market. It is understood that the current 11th generation of Civic Type-R has entered the road test stage and will be officially released in 2022. According to the "spy photo" officially released by Honda, although the new car is covered with thick camouflage clothing, from the general outline, it still cannot hide the strong sports combat atmosphere of the new car.
Specifically, the front face part adopts a honeycomb-shaped grille design, with the sharp headlight group on both sides, and the 11th generation Civic's home style instantly forms a sharp contrast. On the side of the body, the design of smoked black wheels and red calipers is more eye-catching and has a strong sense of sportiness. However, from the spy photo, the most eye-catching thing is the exaggerated large-size spoiler, as well as the exhaust design of the three out of the center, the recognition is very high, and the identity of the sports performance car is not self-evident.
More news on the interior design and power level has not yet been revealed. However, there is relevant news in the industry that the new car may use a hybrid system, and the maximum power of the vehicle will reach 294kW, and it is expected to be equipped with a four-wheel drive system. And most notably, judging from the positioning of the Type R, the new car will also be available in a manual version.
Red Dot Observation: Although the 11th generation of Civic does have a stronger home atmosphere than the 10th generation of Civic, the introduction of the 11th generation Civic Type R will undoubtedly further supplement and strengthen the position of Civic in the performance car market. However, for the news of the localization of The Civic Type R, the market is also mixed, and some voices say that after the introduction of the 11th generation of Civic Type R, it is difficult to say whether there is a taste of Type R. What do you think about that?
