A new City in town Honda unveils affordable subcompact sedan

Honda Cars Philippines Inc. (HCPI) recently introduced a new variant of the City, the 1.5 S CVT, which is just timely for the upcoming holiday season. A time when the market tends to spend more to get along with the season’s spirit of joy and giving, this new subcompact sedan was designed for customers who aspire to own the brand’s bestselling model in a more affordable package.

To date, the Honda City is the carmaker’s bestselling nameplate in the country. It enjoys the trust of Filipinos looking for a practical, stylish and comfortable subcompact sedan, equipped with a powerful and efficient engine, spacious interior and cargo capacity.

Furthermore, the new City 1.5 S CVT is Honda’s most affordable variant in the City model lineup to be equipped with a continuously variable transmission (CVT). Together with the model’s 1.5-liter SOHC i-VTEC engine that produces a maximum power of 118 hp and a maximum torque of 14.8 kg-m, the synergy of the engine and the CVT transmission provides a smoother ride with uncompromised fuel efficiency. Combined with the various safety and convenience features, like the LED daytime running lights, front driver and passenger airbags, anti-lock braking system (ABS) with electronic brake-force distribution (EBD), 1-DIN audio with USB and AUX inputs and keyless entry as standard, the city slicker aims to give customers one of the best value for money propositions in its class.

The new Honda City 1.5 S CVT is now available at all its dealerships with a suggested retail price of P 820,000 and will be available in four colors: Lunar Silver, Modern Steel Metallic, Crystal Black Pearl and Taffeta White.
