A real highlight of the new Civic Type R is its new Safety Boost system.
The most advanced driver assistance system on the market, the Honda Civic Type R's safety system uses the most advanced computer vision technology to anticipate possible accidents and complete necessary tasks before they occur. These functions are part of the comprehensive Honda Civic Type R-safety system that includes an airbag system, side curtain airbags, seat belts, side-curtain airbags, and pre-spinning brake lights. In addition, Type R also offers a number of standard safety features including hill-start Assist, auto-immune hill-start Assist, steering assist for traction control, vehicle stability control, and car stability control.
In addition to being the most technologically advanced model in Honda's lineup, the new Civic utilizes Honda's long known and trusted styling language to create a very attractive vehicle. Most versions of the Civic are offered in the classic "C" configuration, with two front airbags, three-step fold-down rear seats, a five-point seat belt system, and an attractive roof. However, many individuals are interested in purchasing Type R for its sporty handling and body style. For this reason, the Civic is offered in several different types such as the Civic Type R Sport, Civic Type R Touring, Civic Type R Coupe, and Civic Type R Classic. Each of these different Type R models offers an individualized type of performance, with differing handling, body styles, powertrain options, and engine configurations. This makes it very important to consider which type of Civic you would like to purchase based on your own personal tastes and preferences.
The Type R Civic is offered with a choice of three main transmission designs. The Civic Type R Touring, Civic Type R Coupe, and Civic Type R Classic are all offered with the standard five-speed manual transmission, but some models include a manual as well as an automatic transmission. The standard Civic Type R is the car most people will purchase, as it offers the best overall handling and comfort, but there are also versions that are offered in the Civic Type R Sport and Civic Type R Coupe trims.
One of the most unique features of the new Civic Type R is its dual-tone sports audio system with a high-end sound system featuring subwoofers, a tweeter, powerful speaker mounts, tweeters, and a high-end amplifier. In addition to the powerful speakers, the audio system offers high-quality stereo components, such as woofers, mid-range speakers, tweeters, and a high-end stereo amp.
This powerful audio system allows the driver to enjoy movies, rock music, or any other type of audio with complete satisfaction. Drivers who want the ability to customize their vehicle's audio system will be extremely pleased with the Civic Type R sports audio system.
The second most important change made to the Civic Type R is the addition of a dual-throated 2.0-liter gasoline engine. The Civic Type R is the first Honda Civic to offer an automatic transmission. This is a great advantage for drivers who need to travel with their automobiles while on the go. However, even though the Civic Type R comes with an automatic transmission, it is not considered standard equipment.
Other notable changes to the Civic Type R include the removal of the Civic Type R's trademark roof grill.
Instead, the new model features a more aerodynamic hood featuring air vents and a smoother finish. The Civic Type R is also much lighter than its predecessor, at approximately 20 percent less. This change, along with the absence of a roofed grill, makes the Civic Type R the least aerodynamic Honda vehicle. Coupled with the lack of a roofed grill, the Civic Type R has the smallest engine in the entire line of Honda sport sedans.
Despite its smaller size, the Civic Type R performs like a bigger sedan. Honda has fitted the Type R with a powerful 1.5 liter Honda Civic Type R engine that produces both excellent power and dependable acceleration.
This is great news for those who want a powerful Civic, but who are worried about its size. The Civic Type R is available in a variety of different colors, all of which look great when wrapped up in a sport-tunnel red cloth. Of course, the Type R coupe comes with a different body style than the Civic hatchback, so all consumers will have their own personalized color preferences.
Despite being one of the smallest, the Civic Type R has been equipped with many of the same features as other Honda vehicles. For example, the Civic Type R sports a powerful 2.0L i-D engine, which has gained the company high marks for efficiency. It also offers a strong torque ratio, helping the Civic Type R to sprint to a top speed of 34 miles per hour. Additionally, the Civic Type R has received superior crash ratings, thanks to the Civic's lightweight construction. All in all, the new Civic Type R is one of the most practical, enjoyable, and unique hatchbacks currently offered by Honda.
