The comprehensive safety features include ABS, Electronic Brake-force Distribution with brake assist, VSA, front and side SRS airbags, full length side curtain airbags, double seatbelt pre-tensioners on both front seats and active headrests. The instrument display also features an innovative seatbelt reminder for both front and rear seat passengers. Honda anticipates top rating Euro NCAPlevels for front and side impact safety, pedestrian safety and for child protection safety, making it one of the safest cars in its class.

The Civic TYPE S forms the basis for the forthcoming Civic TYPE R, which is scheduled to be launched in early 2007. While the reputation of its predecessor makes it a tough act to follow, the new model will offer greater sophistication without compromising the TYPE R philosophy of exhilarating performance achieved through advanced engineering. More details will be provided when the Civic TYPE R makes its debut at the Paris Motor Show later this year.
