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. Like the 2020 Civic Hatchback on which it's based, the 2020 Honda Civic Type R receives updates to the front and rear bumpers with the addition of body-colored accents to the bumper cutouts. The Type R already has more than enough power for most customers, and those seeking more thrills can always choose from a now plentiful array of aftermarket options. The powertrain (306 hp and 295 lb-ft torque) for the 2020 Type R remains the same as previous years, but that didn't really need changing. The upgraded 2020 Type R also boasts freshened exterior and interior styling, standard Honda Sensing® safety and driver-assistive technology, and a stunning new Boost Blue exterior color, with a Manufacturer's Suggested Retail Price (MSRP) of $36,995 (not including taxes and destination).
