The new knob shape is reminiscent of previous Type R models, including the original 1997 Civic Type R.
Inside, the 2020 Civic Type R gets a new Alcantara™-wrapped steering wheel, a new shift lever with a restyled knob, and a suede shift boot. In addition, the new front brake system reduces total unsprung weight by about 5 lbs (2.5 lbs at each front wheel) to aid both ride and handling performance. From the cockpit, the brake pedal benefits from a more immediate feel with approximately 17% less play before the brakes engage. In front, updated compliance bushings (10% stiffer longitudinally) and new lower-friction ball joints result in sharper steering feel for better control.įor improved brake performance with better fade resistance as well as reduced unsprung weight, the Type R's single-piece front brake rotors are replaced by new two-piece rotors gripped by brake pads with a new more fade-resistant pad material. The rear bushings for the lower B-arm have been stiffened, resulting in better toe-in characteristics when cornering.

The Adaptive Damper System's control software now evaluates road conditions 10 times faster, resulting in improved damper reactions for both better handling response and ride quality. The suspension for the 2020 Civic Type R has also been updated for more responsive and sharper handling. In a testament to Type R engineers' attention to detail, a small reduction in front downforce resulting from the new larger grille opening was countered by a redesigned front spoiler under the bumper, which was made slightly deeper on the left and right sides and modified to include new ribbed sections on each end to deflect air back onto the spoiler! Additionally, Type R gets a new grille design with a 13% larger opening that along with an updated radiator core delivers improved engine cooling in high-demand situations, such as track use, with a decrease in coolant temperature of up to 18 F in testing.
