MY 2025 - Facelift?

[momo3605]

It seems like it would make financial sense if Honda is doing the civic facelift for 2025 with say new taillights, to throw them on the type R as well. Why bother with continuing to sell cars with different parts?

Correct. There are always the base parts that are shared across all trim levels including lights and things of that nature.

On the 10th gen, the refresh came in the fourth model year (2020), which would mean 2026 model on the current 11th gen. IMO we won't see or hear of any kind of refresh info for at least another 12 months.

It’s not crowdsourced. Unless something has changed, that site hits a Honda API/URL that allows them to pull inventory. When you build a car on the website and then it shows you if your local dealer has or it’s in transit—that’s essentially what they are doing. It’s not perfect but it’s a pretty solid barometer. I think where it lags is when a car is sold. A few times it shown cars available that were sold by the time I called the dealer. It did however show me a car in transit to the dealer I was next on the wait list for 2 days before the dealer knew. I called them and they had nothing on their end. Two days later they called me and were like “how the hell did you know before us?”

This is a good point, I couldn't remember how much and what type of info was crowd-sourced and what was API-based. I think the only crowd-sourced information is markup info and validating inventory vs what's reported via the API, but don't take my word for it. The guy who built the tool posts on here, but of course I can't recall his username- if someone else knows this tag him and he can weigh in.

BTW I just want to pile on that the motoringobsession site is an EXTREMELY useful tool that helps all of us with many of these topics and conversations only we care about, and the author has been more than willing to provide details on it. He deserves a shout out, he's a literal pillar of the community, and I feel pretty foolish not even recalling his username.

@dng is the creator of the Motoring Obsession tracker. The markup and availability information are quasi helpful as they're not dynamic and I found some dealerships toss out different numbers depending on when they are contacted, how they're contacted, and who you speak to.

@StevenMatchett has also created a similar but different tool.

Glad you guys find the site useful! So happy to provide a place for people to have knowledge on the market. Tag me and I’m happy to answer any questions about the site

I would be very interested to see what Honda does for the face lifted version. As long as the standard version gets on, FL5 should.

At the very least, Honda should just updated the taillights to LEDs. If we get heated seats and steering wheel, that would make everyone very happy. Don't @ me with the ITS

Maybe, alot of the front and rear bumper are unique to the Civic Type R and I don't think its as simple as just a quick swap. It could save them more money to just keep the original design

Another look at the MY25 face lift

Not sure why that's giving me VW vibes. Not in a bad way, I'm sure it will look good.

The 11th gen Civic is such a good looking car I feel like all they can do is change it, not improve it. I'm not a big Honda fan or anything either, just my honest take. Honda was pretty high up there on the list of makes I was indifferent to prior to the 11th gen.

It's to the point where I'm asking myself why I even paid extra for a red H badge when I see a regular-ass Civic drive by looking so damn fine

Seems like a lot of BS but wondering if anyone thinks there’s any truth to this as far as timing as well as potential changes.
