The Honda Civic Type R is one of the most sought-after hatchbacks on the market, with lines for deliveries. Honda addresses its expectation with an 11-minute video of the Yorii car factory in Saitama, where the Type R is produced.
The video guides us through each step of the production process, appearing the molds of the various body panels, the application of the paint, the meeting of the mechanical components, the placement of the engine and the meeting of the interior trims. As in any fashionable vehicle, the production of the Type R is streamlined using technology, the human side is also crucial.

It’s appealing to see so many examples of the Civic Type R versus others on the production line. Although it has the main design with the Civic hatchback, the Type R features many uniquely designed panels that set it apart seamlessly from the start of assembly. These come with wide fenders, sports bumpers with larger air intakes, ventilated bonnet and, of course, the iconic rear spoiler.
The Civic Type R also features a special color scheme that adds Championship White, Rally Red, Boost Blue, Crystal Black Pearl, and Sonic Gray Pearl, all of which appear elsewhere in the video. Another highlight is the exhaust formula with 3 exhaust outlets, with two needed to put it in the car. As for the interior, we see the assembly of the red carpet, bucket seats and the screwing of the steel gear lever.
The video ends with the Type R rolling off the production line and going through a series of tests on the engine, suspension, etc. so that all systems work properly. After that, the models are loaded onto trucks, heading to dealerships. The Honda Step WGN e:HEV and Honda Freed are among the cars built in the same factory, so we can see some examples in the background.
Every corner of the Honda plant looks neat and tidy, with workers dressed in gloves and full-body leggings. The Yorii car factory in Saitama has an annual production capacity of 250,000 cars, the hot hatch consumes only a very small part. Honda first of all produce 400 sets of the Civic Type R in a month, meaning Japanese buyers will have to wait up to six months to receive delivery. Last month, Honda was forced to temporarily reduce production at Saitama by 40% due to origin issues.
The sixth-generation Honda Civic Type R was unveiled in July 2022 after a long campaign of breakthroughs. The style maintains its non-electrified nature with a 2. 0-liter turbocharged engine that generates 315 hp (235 kW/319 hp) and 310 lb-ft (420 Nm) of torque on its final stretch. Power is transmitted to the front axle via a six-speed manual gearbox and a limited-slip differential. The hot hatch also gets a more competitive chassis configuration with version-specific suspension tuning and larger brakes. .
