Born to race
Honda Civic Type R wins hot hatch category for cars.co.za.
Top sports performance made better
Built for the track, the all-new Civic Type R has racing in its DNA. With three spine tingling driving modes: Comfort, Sport and +R mode, which at the touch of a button adjusts settings for optimal performance.
Features and design
Exterior
The functional, aerodynamic design of the new Honda Civic Type R makes for a stable and confidence-inspiring driving experience.
Interior
Its motorsport-inspired interior has everything you need just where you need it, with clear, easy-to-read gauges, alloy gear shift knob, and a Type R plaque showing your car’s individual serial number.
Comfort
It may have a motorsport feel but it’s not lacking in equipment or comfort. From your race-inspired seat, you are surrounded by premium soft-touch materials.
Safety
Agile Handling Assist is a function that is programmed into the Civic Type R’s Vehicle Stability Assist unit, which provides for more responsive and safer handling.
Technology
The Type R features all the innovative tech that you would expect; climate control, cruise control, electronic parking brake, and a new Apple CarPlay compatible 7” touch screen infotainment system.
Performance
All this power is fed through a smooth and precise six-speed manual gearbox which is optimised by a rev match control system to ensure slick, intuitive gear changes. The final drive is transmitted through an exceptionally responsive helical limited-slip differential to further enhance the performance character.
