HONDA has announced prices for its expanded range of Civic Type R models with the line up now starting from £32,820 - an increase of some £1,300 over the current model.

GT and Sportline versions will cost an extra £2,000 while a range topping Limited Edition model will be priced from £39,995.

All models have a revised air intake system, improved cooling, two-piece floating disc brakes for more performance, a revised suspension geometry and bushings for improved ride compliance, and minor cosmetic changes to the interior and exterior.

The Civic Type R GT now has blind spot information including cross traffic monitor, dual zone climate control, auto dimming rear view mirror, Honda CONNECT with Garmin Navigation, wireless charging, high power audio, and LED front fog lights.

The new Civic Type R Sportline has a subtler look with a low-level rear spoiler, all-black interior, 19-inch wheels with a larger profile tyre, and no pin-strip around the lower flanks of the car.

At the other end of the scale is the Limited Edition which is aimed at those who want the most extreme version of a Civic Type R.

Only 100 of these cars are destined for Europe with just 20 coming to the UK and all have been snapped up.

The Limited Edition features lightweight 20-inch BBS forged alloy wheels, a yellow paint finish and weigh in at some 47kg less the standard version.

Inside, all models feature a new Alcantara wrapped steering wheel, a counterweighted teardrop gear knob and new controls for the infotainment and climate systems.
