What is the red Honda called?
There isn't a single universal name for a red Honda; the color is offered across multiple models with region-specific paint names. A red Honda typically refers to whichever model you’ve chosen in the brand's red color option, rather than a standalone model with a distinct nickname.
In practice, when people mention "the red Honda," they may be thinking of a particular model such as the Civic, Civic Type R, CR-V, HR-V, or Accord that’s shown in red. The exact shade’s official name depends on the model year and regional color catalog.
