The interior is mostly stock Civic, too, right down to the full-width air vent on the dash. However, the steering wheel now has a Mitsuoka logo on the airbag. The seats have also been re-upholstered, here in light blue leather with vintage-style grommets and quilting, while the front pair have the Mitsuoka logo on the headrest and “Mitsuoka M55 Concept” embroidered on the backrests.
Typically, Mitsuoka doesn’t mess with the mechanical elements of the car, and we suspect the same to be true with this. That means you get the same 1.5-liter turbo four-cylinder motor as the regular Civic Hatch, with a six-speed manual, front-wheel drive, and outputs of 180 horsepower and 177 lb-ft of torque.
There’s no word on pricing, and the M55 is currently deemed a concept, but we’re certain Mitsuoka will sell it to Japanese buyers.
