Refresh in 2027 or 2029? What do we know?

[ClangBang]

Hi Guys, I have a 2025 Type S, and am curious if anyone has any intel on when the next refresh is - I expected 2026 but it didnt happen. 2027?

I am also very curious about an end of model run performance version. Like the Integra Type R that happened at the end of the 1990's Integra. I would definitely buy one of those if it happens. Do you guys think that could happen?

Right now, not much. I think the only thing "on record" direct from Honda execs that isn't fabricated press concepts or forum gossip is that "exterior and interior changes" are expected "this year". Here's about as detailed a breakdown as I've found on the open Internet, dated January:

There's also some gaining momentum that the HRC Civic Type R will enter production, but I wouldn't hold my breath. I've been expecting HRC parts to be made available since the reveal of the HRC Integra 2 years ago and they're still not around- although more details were surfaced I think it was around SEMA last year that they're just white-labeled parts that you can already buy like KW coilovers, Acuity shifter, Borla exhaust, etc.

Hopefully some of these questions finally get resolved in the next couple months.

Also something to consider: I believe both the Civic Si and 6MT Integra have yet to receive emissions-related approval for the next MY. The Type-S uses a lot of the standard Integra assembly line. Production may be impacted.

I'm wondering about this too. At this point last year, there were many 2026 models and some leftover 2025 models. Actually, I bought my 2026 last year today. My dealer had 3 2026 and 1 2025 that day.

So basically they made the 2027 model more like the Type S. Not surprised and it's a compliment to us but watch all the Internet trolls come out of the woodworks to claim how the ITS is now pointless.

With the CTR starting at 50K(really 50.5) and markups being 5-10K, it makes the CTR 55-60K for most people. The ITS starts at 55k and can be had for 50-53. The ITS is now the cheaper option by 2-10K depending on your area. For those few K you can grab some tires and a tune and be faster than a CTR for cheaper. The CTR only having the benefit of racing seats if you want those.

Well once the 2027 Integra Type S comes out, I’m sure msrp will be bumped another 2k. That being said your point about Civics being marked up still stands.

Any thought whether we will see any changes for 2027 considering this news?
