Just when you think you knew everything about the recently revealed all-new Honda City 2020 with all its Turbo goodness, Honda hits back at you with something special.
Apart from the existing variants of the City such as the Honda City S, V, SV and RS, you can now spruce your Honda City up even more with some go-fast bits from Honda Accessories Shop, Modulo.
Honda Surprises everyone with the availability of Original Honda Accessories Parts!
For the uninitiated, Modulo is pretty much like Mugen but offers a different set of kit and is generally cheaper. Mugen offers you its own special body kits, and other bits and is mostly based in Japan while Modulo is sourced out of Thailand. No matter because Modulo kits are still pretty amazing and are unique enough to be collectible and cool at the same time.

Getting original Honda Parts from Japan is difficult but Modulo aims to solve that problem
These bits won’t make you go faster but you sure will look so much cooler with these authentic Modulo Parts. The All-New 2020 Honda City comes with a 1.0L 3-cylinder DOHC turbocharged VTEC engine, that's good for 120 hp @ 5,500 RPM and 173 Nm of torque at 2,250 RPM.
This is the same engine found in the Euro-Spec Honda Civic SR. This makes me excited to try out this All-New City, even more so than the frumpy looking Honda Jazz 2020.
Stylish 15 inch modulo mags up the ante even further
Honda Thailand will be releasing the City right on Christmas eve with a Philippine release expected in early 2020. When it does reaches our shores, you can expect Philkotse.com to be there to cover everything about it and myself to test drive it!

Honda City Launch
The refreshed 2025 Honda City was introduced to the Philippine market on June 13, 2023. It was launched locally with four available variants: the E, S, V, and RS.
Of note, the 2025 model updates the seventh-generation GN model which was initially introduced back in 2019.
Honda City Exterior
On the outside, the Honda City’s top-spec trim gets LED headlamps and the stylish RS kit which provides a high gloss black finish for many of its parts. All come standard with LED daytime running lamps, and LED taillights.
The City then sits on a set of 16-inch alloys for the RS. The V and S meanwhile, gets 16-inch or 15-inch alloy wheels respectively. The S uses a set of 15-inch steel wheels.
Other equipment available to the City includes power-folding side mirrors, side mirror integrated signal lamps, a trunk lid switch, a trunk spoiler, and an automatic on/off for the headlamps.
Honda City Interior
The City can comfortably seat up to five occupants which are then kept cool by an automatic or manual climate control system depending on the trim. The RS gets more convenience features in the form of a rear seat armrest, and rear seat accessory ports. It also has more cupholders numbering 4.
The model’s top-spec trim likewise has the fanciest-looking interior. This is because it gets leather-clad seats, and RS trim finishes. Plenty of bits of the City RS cabin also get a red contrasting color.
For the driver, this Honda sedan gets a 4.2-inch TFT color meter, an analog gauge cluster, a urethane steering wheel, and a tilt and telescopic steering column.
Technology & Safety Features
Providing entertainment aboard the Honda City is an eight-inch touchscreen with wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. For the RS, this display is linked to a total of eight speakers.
Safety for all City variants is handled by the Honda Sensing suite. This includes adaptive cruise control, emergency braking, lane keep assist, road departure warning, lane departure warning, auto high beams, and a lead car departure notification warning.
Standard safety equipment for this Honda model includes ISOFIX child seat anchors, anti-lock braking, stability control, speed-sensing door locks, and dual front airbags. Only the RS and V trims get a reverse camera. All variants get side airbags, but only the RS gets side curtain airbags.
Platform & Chassis
The Honda City uses a front-engine, front-wheel-drive chassis under the Honda Global Small Car Platform. Ride comfort is provided by McPherson struts for the front and a torsion beam suspension for the rear.
Braking for this model is provided by front discs and rear drums. It also uses a hand-operated manual parking brake.
Honda City Engine & Drivetrain
The 2025 City carries over the 1.5-liter found on the pre-facelift model. At maximum, this engine can churn out 119 horsepower and 145 Nm of torque. Power is sent to its wheels via a CVT.
