THE ‘Hatch Life” is a phrase Honda Cars Philippines Inc. (HCPI) coined to mark a new chapter in it’s the life of its best-selling Honda City Hatchback. Building upon the success of its predecessor, which captured a dominant 90 percent share of the B-segment hatchback market, the latest iteration introduces a host of enhancements, highlighted by the inclusion of the advanced Honda SENSING safety suite.
The new City Hatchback boasts a refreshed sporty aesthetic, featuring an updated RS body kit with a redesigned bumper and front grille, complemented by 16-inch Berlina Black alloy wheels. These stylish enhancements further accentuate the car’s dynamic appeal.
The integration of Honda SENSING marks a significant leap in safety for the City Hatchback. This driver-assist system, a response to Honda’s commitment to achieving a collision-free society, offers features like Adaptive Cruise Control, Collision Mitigation Braking System, Lane Keep Assist System, Road Departure Mitigation, and Auto High Beam. The car also comes standard with six airbags and a Walk Away Auto Door Lock feature, reinforcing its safety credentials.
Inside, the New City Hatchback pampers occupants with RS full leather seats and a technologically advanced 4.2-inch TFT meter that supports wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. Additionally, a new exterior color, Sonic Gray Pearl, exclusive to the City Hatchback, joins the existing palette of Ignite Red Metallic, Platinum White Pearl, Meteoroid Gray Metallic, and Brilliant Sporty Blue Metallic.
The new Honda City Hatchback is available exclusively in the RS variant and carries a price tag of P1.189M.
At the launch in Bonifacio Global City two weeks ago, enthusiasts and prospective buyers were able to experience the new City Hatchback firsthand, along with other Honda models, including a special highlight to test the Collision Mitigation Braking System (CMBS) on that weekend.
