Honda Motor Southern Africa is proud to announce that the Civic Type R has been announced as the Hot Hatch category winner in the, 2018/2019 Cars.co.za Consumer Awards.

Winners were announced at a star studded, red carpet gala event held at Kyalami, Midrand on Thursday night.

Honda Motor Southern Africa is a first time recipient of a Cars.co.za Consumer Award and honoured to be acknowledged at this definitive event, which has become a highlight on the South African automotive industry calendar.

The Honda Civic Type R blends hot hatch and sedan looks into one. Raising the bar in the highly competitive performance hatchback segment, the latest generation Type R has been refined from the previous model in ways that have vastly improved its comfort and driving dynamics.

The aggressive styling of the Honda Civic Type R aptly reflects its dynamic character. The new shape is longer, wider and lower than previous Type R models, whilst its muscular stance reflect the hatchback’s dynamic aspirations.

The Honda Civic Type R boasts an interior perfectly suited to the hatchback’s extrovert character and performance prowess. The car’s increased dimensions translate into enhanced space and comfort front and rear.

Globally, the Honda Civic Type R has received numerous accolades. It ticks all boxes when it comes to design, performance and cutting edge technology, so it’s not surprising that this award winning hot hatch, which sports the red Honda badge would add yet another accolade to the list.
