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!
So stay tuned and follow us for more news, reviews, and insights on Philippine motoring and everything about the car culture. Latest updates on upcoming Honda cars can be found in our Complete guide to the Honda Philippines' local lineup.

Honda City Launch
The refreshed 2024 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 2024 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 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.
