The Honda City: A Sleek and Stylish Subcompact Sedan



Although the City name has been used in the past for a subcompact hatchback, the current Honda City sedan can trace its lineage back to the late 90s. Originally developed as a smaller, simpler, and more affordable alternative to the Honda Civic sedan, the City has come a long way since then.

The latest version of the Honda City boasts a more elegant and refined design, with a longer, wider, and lower silhouette than its predecessor. Its wing-face grille and slim headlights are reminiscent of the current Civic, and range-topping models feature full LED headlight units. At the rear, the City gets wide horizontal taillights, while the interior features a cleaner, more symmetrical layout with a neatly integrated infotainment touchscreen flanked by vertical AC vents. All variants except for the base S M/T come with a larger eight-inch touchscreen.

Under the hood, the 2021 Honda City is powered by a 1.5-liter i-VTEC gasoline mill that produces 119 horsepower and 145Nm of torque. The lone powerplant available features double-overhead cams and is mated to a continuously variable transmission, with the range-topping RS variant featuring paddle shifters.

Safety features are not lacking in the Honda City. All variants come with dual-airbags, anti-lock braking systems with electronic brakeforce distribution, vehicle stability control, three-point seatbelts for all five occupants, and ISOFIX child seat anchors. The range-topping RS trim features additional safety equipment like curtain airbags.

The all-new Honda City's suspension remains the same, with independent MacPherson struts up front and a compact torsion beam at the rear. Its steering is rack and pinion with electric power assist. The price of the Honda City starts at ₱953,000 for the 1.5 S CVT, with the 1.5 RS CVT coming in at ₱1,093,000, and the 2021 Honda City Hatchback 1.5 RS CVT priced at ₱1,153,000.
