2023 Honda Civic Type R Features and Performance
Responsive Performance
Powering this edition of the Civic Type R is a 2.0L VTEC engine that delivers 315 horsepower alongside excellent fuel efficiency thanks to its turbocharger and smaller size. Not only is this engine responsive when accelerating from a stop, but it also works seamlessly with the vehicle’s 6-speed manual transmission at all speeds, giving you smooth rides every mile of the way.
Enhancing the vehicle’s performance is a triple-outlet exhaust, which adjusts its sound to accommodate whichever of the multiple driving modes you choose from with the 4-mode driving system. With this system, you can switch to COMFORT mode for everyday driving, SPORT mode for optimized response, +R mode for more muscular performance, or INDIVIDUAL mode, which allows you to customize output settings to your needs.
Comfort and Technology
Inside the Civic Type R’s cockpit, you have a comfortable interior with exclusively designed bolstered front seats that can keep you in your place when taking sharp turns. A set of sport pedals provides more grip for your shoes while adding to the interior’s racing-inspired aesthetics, and a 60/40 split-fold-down rear seat comes standard and allows you to accommodate both passengers and cargo.
Regarding technology, you’ll be more than covered with the vehicle’s infotainment system, which provides both Apple and iPhone compatibility for accessing music, podcasts, messaging apps, and a hands-free calling function. If you happen to get lost, you can easily use the satellite-linked navigation system to find your way home, and if anybody needs to charge their smartphone, there’s a wireless charging pad that can quickly top up phone batteries while on the go.
Smart Driver Assistance
As for this edition’s driver-assist features, you’ll be impressed with offerings like Adaptive Cruise Control. With this feature, you can set a designated speed for the vehicle to stay at, and while it’s cruising at that speed, it can occasionally slow down or accelerate the car to always keep you at a safe distance from others in front of you.
If you do happen to get too close to any vehicles in your path, Forward Collision Warning can notify you of this. If you become distracted and start to drift away from your lane, Lane Departure Warning will let you know, while the Lane-Keeping Assist System can then jump into action to help nudge you back to your lane’s center again.
With its phenomenal performance in different driving conditions and a wide array of comfort, tech, and driver-assist features, the 2023 Civic Type R has it all.
