Our History

50th anniversary

Celebrating a golden 50 years in Australia

In 2019 Honda Australia celebrated its 50th birthday, marking half a century since the company was established locally on February 4, 1969.

From cars and motorcycles to generators, lawn mowers and marine engines, Honda’s diverse range of products have been enjoyed by millions of Australians over the last 50 years.

Civic Type R

Everyday race-ready

We believe driving is one of life’s great joys. And dreaming up ways to give you the most rewarding driving experience is at the centre of everything we do. That's why over 25 years ago we challenged ourselves to transform people’s perceptions of what a front-wheel drive compact hatch could do. With innovation firmly embedded in our DNA, Honda engineers worked tirelessly to dream up the Civic Type R. Bringing race-ready performance to people’s every day, it delivers thrills both on the road and on the track.
