Awesome Honda Civic

Based on the 11th-generation Civic Hatchback, the new Civic Type R features a decidedly less overworked design than its 2020 Honda Civic Type R while retaining its aerodynamic qualities. Honda says it’s the most powerful and fastest vehicle they’ve offered in the U.S., though they’ve yet to reveal its engine or performance specs.

The already awesome Civic Type R gets a few refinements, losing the fake front air vents, upgrading its disc brakes, and tweaking its suspension for comfort. In the cabin, there’s a new Alcantara steering wheel, an updated short-throw gearshift, and active sound control that adapts its exhaust sounds based on drive mode.

A sporty new variant of Honda’s ubiquitous daily driver. In Sport trim, the fantastic looking hatch version gets a 1.5L turbo 4 with up to 180hp and 177 lb-ft. of torque, a 6-speed manual or CVT, and great fuel economy to boot.
