Many drivers on the roads of the Bay Area are probably familiar with the classic style of the Honda Civic, but 2020 brings something new to the U.S. market that builds off this trusted model. Look forward to the 2020 Honda Civic Type R, a racetrack-inspired model for thrill-seekers. While it's been present in many other markets for a while, it's refreshed design will hit dealerships across the U.S. later this year.
In the meantime, Concord Honda urges drivers to keep an eye on the new Honda lineup right here in the Bay Area.
Built Off an Impressive Powertrain
The performance-oriented intention of the Honda Civic Type R is evident in its standard powertrain configuration. Expect a 2.0-liter direct-injected and turbocharged four-cylinder engine paired with VTEC™ valvetrain that offers 306-horsepower and 295-pound-feet of torque. To top things off, you get to choose between three different drive modes that alter the suspension firmness, throttle response, and steering response for a drive that rides how you like.
Updates to the 2020 Model
The 2020 model debuting in the U.S. brings exciting features to this already thrilling model. Expect Active Sound Control which enhances the silence even while in performance drive mode, improved aerodynamics that promote engine cooling, and brakes fit to act fast when in reactive braking scenarios.
Design-wise, drivers will enjoy the new Alcantara™-wrapped steering wheel with a unique designed shifter and knob that make for easy shifting. Standard Honda Sensing® safety suite and driver's assistance technology are also new additions to this versatile ride.
