    Honda Civic Type R Car Guide

    HONDA CIVIC TYPE ROverview

    Introduced in 2016 as part of the 10th generation of the Honda Civic, the Type R is a five-seat, front-wheel drive, compact four-door hatchback passenger vehicle that gets a combined 25 mpg on average. For the 2019 model, Honda added some subtle upgrades to the style. The Type R is designed for the performance-minded Honda driver, is equipped with a turbocharged engine, and features a six-speed manual transmission. A combination of sporty features and performance in a four-door hatchback make the Type R unique among compact passenger vehicles.

    NOTEWORTHY FEATURES

    Exceptional Performance

    The Honda Civic Type R features a 2.0-liter, four-cylinder turbocharged engine with 306 horsepower that provides superior performance for its class. It offers a level of front-end suspension unmatched since Honda's S2000 Roadster, which helps to get rid of undesirable torque steer. Meanwhile, it still provides ample torque to handle smoothly and expertly even in heavy commuter traffic. It boasts a sturdy and stable feel thanks to structural adhesives employed in order to improve rigidity. It also includes responsive handling and excellent gas mileage. The quality of the Type R's ride features an expert balance of dexterity and smoothness. Improved controls on the steering wheel, meanwhile, make operation of all the vehicle's features much simpler. The "+R" mode lets you push all the Type R's power and performance features to their limits so you can feel like a pro race car driver.

    Cabin Built for Comfort

    The cabin in the Honda Civic Type R is spacious and roomy with a lot of highly functional storage space. The quality of materials used is high as well, providing comfort that matches the level of style.

    Upgraded Entertainment System

    The Honda Civic Type R boasts a new and improved Display Audio system. This touchscreen multimedia entertainment system features an actual volume knob rather than virtual volume buttons, along with other hard buttons rather than virtual controls for more advanced functions. The system also supports Android Auto and Apple CarPlay smartphone connectivity.

    ADDITIONAL CONSIDERATIONS

    Flashy Exterior

    Sport trim is now available on the Honda Civic Type R coupe and sedan, and the front bumper has been restyled. Even without the sports trim, the Type R still features splashy styling on the front and rear ends and an enormous wing. All these stylized exterior design enhancements may be too excessive for some drivers. That said, Honda swears that the hyper-stylization serves a very practical and useful purpose, namely to help with traction by raising downforce.

    Extraneous Noise

    The turbocharged engine does emit a base drone during acceleration. The exhaust system as well emits a sound that is muted but still noticeable.

    No Honda Sensing Suite

    One of the flagship features of the Honda Civic, the Honda Sensing suite of safety features that comes standard with most Honda Civic models does not come with the Type R. That means no automatic high-beam headlights, lane-keeping assist, lane-departure warning, automatic emergency braking, forward collision warning or adaptive cruise control.
