After decades of thrilling drives, unforgettable track days, and cult-like admiration, the Honda Civic Type R is taking its final bow in the Philippines. Honda Cars Philippines, Inc. (HCPI) is marking this moment with a celebration of the model’s legacy—and a rare opportunity for enthusiasts to claim one of the last remaining units of the 2025 Civic Type R.
From the legendary EK9 to the aggressive and refined FL5, the Civic Type R has consistently redefined what a front-wheel-drive performance car can be. It’s more than just a badge—it’s a symbol of Honda’s relentless pursuit of engineering excellence and a beacon for Filipino car lovers who crave precision, power, and personality.
A Legacy Built on Speed and Spirit
The Civic Type R first made waves in the Philippines with the FK8, previewed at the 2017 Manila International Auto Show. All 100 units sold out in just 48 hours—a testament to its cult status. A refreshed version followed in 2021, featuring Honda SENSING, upgraded brakes, and bold new colorways. Then came the FL5 in 2023, a model that fused track-ready performance with everyday usability, earning praise from both die-hard fans and new converts.
The Final Chapter Begins
As HCPI looks ahead to future innovations, the Civic Type R’s official run in the country is coming to a close. For those who’ve long dreamed of owning Honda’s halo model, this is the moment. The final units of the 2025 Year Model Civic Type R are now available at select Honda dealerships nationwide.
“We are extremely grateful for the overwhelming support our customers have shown for the Civic Type R over the past eight years,” said Ms. Rie Miyake, President of HCPI. “Its legacy will continue to inspire us as we evolve our lineup—always staying true to Honda’s fun-to-drive spirit.”
Not a Goodbye—A Salute to an Icon
HCPI isn’t just closing a chapter—it’s honoring a movement. The Civic Type R has left an indelible mark on Philippine car culture, creating memories that will live on in garages, highways, and hearts. And while this may be the final lap for now, the Type R spirit remains—ready to return in whatever form the future holds.
