Its low front grille, agressive lines and flared wheel arches give the Civic Type R a very distinctive presence.

| Front grille The unique front grille integrates seamlessly with the wrap-around headlights and is styled with a black honeycomb mesh. The central red "H" badge is a not-so-subtle reminder of its racing pedigree.

| Innovative design An integrated, slick rear spoiler is mounted over the space-age rear hatch and dual triangular exhaust tailpipes, usually only found on concept cars, demonstrating Honda's commitment to innovation.

| 18-inch alloy wheels Beneath the flared wheel arches, the Civic Type R sits on 18-inch seven-spoke alloy wheels shod with low profile 225/40 R18 Bridgestone Potenza high performance tyres, ensuring supreme grip and handling in all conditions.

| Fog lamps The halogen headlights can sense low ambient light (such as dusk and night) and switch on automatically. In addition, headlight angle adjusters ensure a correct spread of light when the car is fully-laden.

| Power retractable mirrors The side mirrors are power adjustable and heated, and even include a power retractable function. At the flick of a switch, they fold inward - handy for when you need to park in a tight spot or a narrow laneway.

| Rain sensing wipers Standard on the Civic Type R is a rain-sensing wiper system, activated by water droplets falling on the windscreen. The system automatically adjusts the timing according to the intensity of the rain.
