The eagerly awaited Honda Civic Type R is set to go on sale in March, and early indications suggest it will be worth the anticipation. Honda assures that this model combines the thrilling drive of the previous Type R with enhanced refinement and comfort, elevating it to a superior super hatchback.
Notable features include integrated styling and handling optimized for increased responsiveness and predictability. These improvements make the Civic Type R a standout choice.
The model is powered by a reworked, naturally aspirated 2.0-litre i-VTEC engine, the same unit as the current Type R, but now with a new balancer shaft and drive-by-wire throttle control for better responsiveness. The engine's maximum power is now 201PS, reachable at 8,000rpm, up from the previous 200PS at 7,400rpm. Improved aerodynamics enhance its ability to cut through the air efficiently, with slightly lower gearing offsetting a small increase in curb weight.
Performance remains strong, with acceleration nearly matching the previous model’s 6.6-second 0-62mph time and a top speed of 146mph.
Visually, the new Type R is striking, featuring seven-spoke 18-inch alloy wheels and a prominent front spoiler with a larger air intake. A body-colored rear spoiler enhances downforce, following a kick-up line from the rear quarter windows. Up front, a black honeycomb mesh grille provides a distinctive look.
Subtle Type R logos add flair throughout the design. The front brake calipers display the insignia, and the door sills feature stainless steel inserts with the badge.
Inside, the focus is on the driving experience. The front seats are race-inspired buckets with large black alcantara bolsters, red stitching, and red fabric seat cushions and backs. The dual-zone dashboard, common in other Civic models, features red illuminated dials and gun-metal effect switch panels. The gearshift knob, finished in aluminum, boasts a black boot with red stitching.
Expect to see the new Civic Type R at Lookers Honda in Derby next March. Prices are yet to be announced.
