Type R? There’s a new one, and we’ve got it here at Startin Honda Worcester!

Most manufacturers have cars that when revealed to the public for the first time, nobody bats an eyelid. The new 2020 Honda Civic Type R is not one of those. It generates enormous amounts of buzz, journalists can’t wait to get their hands on the steering wheel for the first test drive, enthusiasts are already deciding which road to christen the car on. It’s been the same for generations ever since the Civic type R made its way over to UK shores in 2001. Now there’s a new one, and we’ve got it here at Startin Honda Worcester.

The Honda engineers have ensured the recipe for success hasn’t changed and the racing DNA remains. Even though the car might look like a spaceship you won’t lose in the supermarket carpark, don’t you contemplate that each wing, splitter and curve on the vehicle has no purpose, they’re all there to create downforce, something that is much needed when you have a powerful and efficient 316 horsepower 2.0 litre VTEC petrol engine that can be delivered seamlessly with a press of your right foot. Yet, it’s also practical, comfortable and doesn’t come with the compromises of the competition. There’s a big boot, specious rear seats, and heaps of cubby spaces to store your valuables, maybe even your race gloves if you feel like hitting the track, but make sure you remove your child seat first if you’ve got one! 

Of course, with a vehicle focused on performance safety for you and your passengers must be a priority. The new Civic Type R incorporates Honda SENSING, one of the most advanced suites of safety technologies available, whilst the performances upgrades such as an upgraded, lighter braking system will improve your confidence whilst driving.
