2025 Honda Civic RS is launched in late 2024 with the cost of $30,450.
Regrettably, a few stumbling blocks lie in the path of enthusiasm. Primarily, we find ourselves face to face with what Honda affectionately terms a prototype, recently unveiled at the prestigious 2024 Tokyo Auto Salon. Secondly, the prospect of this automotive creation gracing the market in its finalized form is indeed on the horizon, though limited to the confines of Japan. Here, it aims to gracefully straddle the realm between the formidable Type R and its more understated counterparts.
Eager eyes caught a glimpse of this automotive wunderkind through the lens of Honda’s social media, presenting a visage cloaked in satin black allure and enveloped in an air of mystery with privacy windows shrouding its interior. The former pays due homage to its design aesthetics, while the latter coyly hints that the inner sanctum may not yet be ready for its close-up. A novel front bumper, showcasing a milder demeanor than its Type R kin, graces its façade, and it confidently rolls on what appear to be standard-issue alloy wheels.
Distinguishing this model from its brethren requires no automotive savant, courtesy of Honda’s decision to emblazon red RS logos on both the grille and trunk lid. A move that might elicit a wry smile from a certain German automaker with a penchant for two-letter monikers (ahem, Audi). Nevertheless, the Civic RS promises to carve its own niche in the segment without encroaching on the well-established territory of its Civic siblings.
Delving into the specifics of the 2024 Honda Civic RS—Prototype, linguistic limitations may hinder us, but we’ve gleaned that it boasts a six-speed manual transmission. Alas, further details remain veiled in secrecy, leaving us in suspense regarding the inner workings connected to that manual shift lever. It proudly declares itself a front-wheel drive, aligning itself with the more spirited members of the Civic family, celebrated as some of the finest front-wheel-drive compact hot hatches available.
Speculative minds might posit that the Civic RS could harbor a powertrain akin to its sibling, the Civic Si. This sibling, too, flaunts a six-speed manual transmission and is propelled by a 1.5-liter turbocharged engine delivering 200 horsepower at 6,000 rpm, accompanied by 192 lb-ft of torque spanning from 1,800 to 5,000 rpm. The Civic Si boasts an impressive 31 mpg combined, making it a prime candidate to lend its formidable engine to the forthcoming hot hatch.
Scheduled to grace Japanese roads later this year, the Civic RS seems poised to remain an exclusive offering within its homeland. While the prospect of a U.S. debut might not be an immediate reality, we hesitate to completely dismiss the notion, leaving a glimmer of anticipation in the air.
