Honda kicked off the teaser campaign for the 2022 Civic Type R earlier this month and now we’re getting our first glimpse inside the cabin.

As expected, the interior largely carries over from the standard hatchback as we can see a familiar dashboard with honeycomb mesh trim and a freestanding infotainment system that presumably measures 9-inches. It should be joined by either a 7- or 10.2-inch digital instrument cluster.

While a number of components carryover, the Civic Type R has a number of features that indicate its sportier status. The most noticeable are red sport seats, which have a “Type R” logo on the headrests. They’re joined by red seatbelts and red contrast stitching on the center console.

Speaking of the console, this particular prototype is equipped with a six-speed manual transmission that features a metal knob similar to the one found on its predecessor. Elsewhere, there’s microfiber upholstery on the steering wheel and armrests.

The latest round of photos also gives us an up-close look at the exterior as the prototype was caught making a pit stop at a gas station. As a result, we can get a better glimpse of the ventilated hood, front fender vents, and lightweight wheels that are backed up by a Brembo braking system with red calipers.

Other notable styling features include a sportier front fascia with a unique mesh grille and Type R badging. The range-topping variant also has aerodynamic side skirts, a prominent rear wing, and a unique rear bumper with a center-mounted triple exhaust system.

Honda has been tight-lipped about performance specifications, but the model is expected to use an upgraded turbocharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine. It produced 306 hp (228 kW / 310 PS) and 295 lb-ft (400 Nm) of torque in the previous Civic Type R, which makes it a bit less powerful than the 315 hp (232 kW / 319 PS) Volkswagen Golf R.

Regardless of the final numbers, Honda has already confirmed the Civic Type R will be introduced next year.
