We love the Honda Civic Type R FL5 (read our review). But, if there’s one complaint we have against it, it’s that there’s just too much red inside. This is all part of the Type R lore, we know, but extending the red not just to the seats, but to the carpets is a bit much to the eyes. Seems there are many who agree because Honda’s come up with the Civic Type R Black Package.
As its name implies, the Civic Type R Black Package ditches all the red interior trim for a classier and more mature all-black one. You’ll find black Lux Suede seats, with the contrast stitch now in silver. The same silver-colored highlight is found on the steering wheel, shift boot, center console lid, and door armrest. Only the seatbelts and ambient lighting are left in red.
The Civic Type R Black Package also receives a black suede dash topper and front door lining to cut out the light reflection noise. Moreover, the pinstripe trim on the climate controls, AC vents, and window switches are now silver. The knurled AC knobs, meanwhile, are now in gloss black.
Honda says that the Civic Type R Black Package isn’t a limited run variant, but it does come with a hefty 1.001-million yen (~P 372,300) premium over the regular Civic Type R which will be sold alongside this one.
