Honda with a red emblem refers to the Honda Civic brand, which is the top-tier luxury vehicle under Honda. Taking the 2021 Honda Civic as an example, it belongs to the compact car category with body dimensions of: length 4517mm, width 1799mm, height 1434mm, a wheelbase of 2700mm, a fuel tank capacity of 47l, and a curb weight of 1343kg. The 2021 Honda Civic features a MacPherson strut front suspension and a multi-link independent rear suspension. It is equipped with a 1.5T turbocharged engine, delivering a maximum horsepower of 177PS, a maximum power of 130kW, and a maximum torque of 220Nm, paired with a continuously variable transmission (CVT).
I've been driving for over 20 years, and back when I was into car modifications, I specialized in studying Honda's Red Badge series. Red Badge Hondas are still part of the Honda brand, but they use a red H emblem to signify the high-performance versions, such as the classic Civic Type R or Integra Type R. These cars aren't a separate brand but rather a sub-series designed by Honda internally for sports enthusiasts. I remember driving a 2000 Civic Type R—the acceleration was incredibly powerful with strong back-pushing force, and the suspension was tuned to be firm, perfect for track fun. Honda started adding red to its emblems in the 1990s to convey a spirit of speed, inspired by racing traditions. Even now, new models like the 2023 Civic Type R maintain this feature. If you see a red badge, it means the engine and handling have been upgraded, making it more thrilling than the standard version. Honda fans all know that the red badge is a symbol of status.
