The hot-hatch won't have hybrid assist and will represent one of the final gas-powered Hondas ever. An all-new Honda Civic Type R hot hatch is expected to go on sale sometime in 2022. Unlike the current generation, the next Type R will not be built in the UK but in the US following the closure of the Swindon factory later this year. But that's the big reason why the 2022 Type R will represent the end of an era for the Japanese automaker. Autocar reports it has received confirmation the next Type R, based on the 11th generation Civic, will be one of the last purely gasoline-powered Hondas ever. Honda aims to have a hybrid or pure electric variant for all of its models beginning in 2022. The original date was 2025 but recent global events have forced Honda to speed things up.
