2019 Civic Type R Exterior
A standard Civic is already considered by many as overwrought in design, but the Type R adds an insane amount of extravagance in the form of a hood-mounted air intake, huge rear-mounted wing, roof-mounted vortex generators, a triple-pipe center exhaust, various canards and underbody spoilers, red H badging, flared wheel arches with cooling ducts, red brake calipers, and black 20-inch alloy wheels. Functional features include LED headlights and LED foglights. And did we mention the wing?

Dimensions
Despite making use of the standard Civic platform's 106.3-inch wheelbase, the range of wings, spoilers, and other addenda increase the hatchback's overall length by nearly two full inches to 179.4 in. Likewise, the width grows to 73.9 inches representing a more than three-inch growth over a standard Civic. Despite riding lower to the ground, the wing and vortex generators on the roof increase the Type R's height to 56.5 inches, while a curb weight of 3,117 pounds is 100 lbs heavier than the largest Civic hatch but still less than all-wheel drive rivals like the Golf R and Focus RS by several hundred pounds.

Exterior Colors
Honda retains a somewhat small color palette for the 2019 Civic Type R with just six hues to choose from, all at no additional cost. Striking colors like Aegean Blue and Rallye Red join Crystal Black Pearl and Polished Metal as color options carried over from regular Civics, while Championship White remains a Type R exclusive hero color. New to the palette for 2019 is Sonic Gray Pearl, giving the Type R a stealthier look.
