2023 Honda Civic Si coupe

This article includes illustrations for a fictional Honda Civic Type R Coupe created by independent designer Sugar Chow. The renderings are neither related to nor endorsed by Honda.

Honda hasn’t made a two-door Civic Type R since 2011 with the FN2, and hasn’t made one not designated as a hatchback since the FD2 sedan of that same year, but what if they turned the new Civic Type R into a proper coupe?

That’s exactly what digital artist Sugar Chow attempts to answer with these renderings of the 2023 Civic Type R, which morphs the four-door hatchback into a sleek two-door coupe.

Chow even fitted the car with what appears to be an actual trunk in place of the rear hatch, but thankfully kept the hatchback’s attractive full-width lighting elements. Overall, the elegant sloping roof pairs nicely with the flared fenders and revised window line, and the whole package manages to fix the rather stubby rear end of the hatchback.

With that being said, there’s a reason this generation of Civic won’t be receiving a coupe body style, let alone a Type R version of one. With the ever-increasing popularity of crossovers and utility vehicles, coupes have drastically fallen out of favor with consumers, especially on the lower end of the market.

As a result, especially with this new Civic hatchback and its accompanying Type R model, Honda has essentially combined multiple body styles into one car to satisfy the best of all worlds. The car has the trunk of a hatchback and is officially designated as such, but it also has the overall form factor of a sedan and the sloping roofline of a coupe.

But semantics aside, what Sugar Chow is envisioning has never been done by Honda in the past, and certainly won’t be done now, and that’s exactly why it’s so great. While Honda might never build anything like this themselves, it’s still quite the looker, and we can still enjoy it in these renderings.
