The 2020 Type R Honda Civic Pushes the Boundaries

In our latest blogs, you've probably become familiar with the 2019 Honda Civic Hatchback, a very sporty-looking car. Wait until you see this revisited bomb from the Japanese industry who is now even more explosive. Indeed, the Tokyo Autoshow has lifted the veil on the 2020 Honda Civic Type R, which is at our doorstep with its hyper aerated shield, its hood equipped with air intake, 20-inch rims wrapped by hyper-large tires, powerful brakes, an elevated rear spoiler, and even a three-tip exhaust. Is that enough?! Of course it isn't.

Unlike its rivals (the Volkswagen Golf R and the Subaru WRX STI, to name a few), the 2020 Honda Civic Type R comes with all-wheel drive that allows for outstanding handling. Under the hood, you'll soon notice a 2.0-liter VTEC 4-cylinder turbocharged engine that delivers 306 horsepower and an additional 295 lb-ft of torque. The 2020 Civic Type R also has a six-speed manual transmission. With its impressive bumpers and very reflective exterior, this car will show off even more this year. Its LED smoked headlights and repeating lateral indicators make this car attractive, aggressive and accentuated.

But by 2020, the new Honda Civic Type R will incorporate many changes to improve its already exceptional driving dynamics, including new two-piece brake discs and brake pads designed to reduce and improve the efficiency of high-speed braking. Suspension reviews for 2020 include updated shock absorbers for better driving comfort, stiffer rear rings for better grip, and a new front suspension case support to reduce friction and improve the feel of the steering. Improvements to the body design also include a new, larger grille opening to allow for better engine cooling, as well as the availability of a new color, Blue Boost, exclusive to the 2020 Type R model.

In addition, for the 2020 model year, drivers can expect enhanced refinement, thanks to the new Alcantara wrapped steering wheel and the newly redesigned pommel gear lever, allowing for shorter gear passages. The 2020 Civic Type R also adds Honda Sensing's range of driver assistance and safety technologies, thus, marking the first time Honda Sensing has been offered standard on all Civic models and their versions.

Finally, we cannot ignore the role of the 2020 model as accurate as a razor, its handling being matched only by the pleasure one takes to exploit its dynamic qualities. Even more interesting, 2020 marks a very interesting addition and touches the active acoustic control, which changes the sound in the cockpit according to the chosen driving mode. The selectable driving modes and sophisticated design of the Type R make it an exciting companion on a mountain road as well as on a race track while offering a remarkably refined driving experience on a daily basis, with a degree of flexibility unrivaled by its competitors, especially at its price level.
