Honda Cars Philippines Inc. (HCPI) has launched an updated version of the City Hatchback for the 2024 model year.
The updated City Hatchback is now available for reservation
The updated 2024 Honda City Hatchback is an improvement over the current seven-gen GN hatch platform which of course means it gets the same sporty and youthful design found on prior versions.
However, this model's RS trim package has been updated with a set of new alloy wheels. Likewise included for the refresh is the new Sonic Grey Pearl color, which joins Platinum White Pearl, Ignite Red Metallic, Meteoroid Gray Metallic, and Brillant Sporty Blue Metallic as the City Hatchback’s lineup of color options.
The huge change in this new version though, is the addition of the Honda Sensing advanced driver-assist system (ADAS). This provides the refreshed Honda Hatch with features such as adaptive cruise control, collision mitigation braking, lane keep assist, road departure mitigation, and lane departure warning, among others.
As expected, this model gets Honda’s Utility, Long, Tall, and Refresh (ULTR) seats. This control scheme for its seats optimizes the vehicle’s interior space as it can be adjustable to fit a driver’s various needs. Its cabin likewise features an eight-inch touchscreen infotainment system with wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto.
The pre-updated Honda City Hatchback
For propulsion, the 2024 City Hatchback retains the same 1.5-liter gasoline naturally-aspirated engine from the pre-updated version. At the most, this four-banger can churn out 119 horsepower and 145 Nm of torque. Power is sent to its front wheels via a continuously variable transmission (CVT).
For buyers who are interested in the updated 2024 Honda City Hatchback for the Philippines, be aware that it is now available for pre-orders. The best part is, that the Php 5,000 reservation fee for this refreshed model has been waived by HCPI until June 13, 2024.
