The all-new City aims to carry the success of the current fourth-generation model. Since its launch in 2017, it has sold over 21,000 examples making it Honda’s best-selling vehicle locally. The carmaker promises that the upcoming fifth-generation model will “further enhance the already remarkable package of the current City.”

Based on the material set to us by Honda Cars, the Philippine spec of the City will have one powertrain: the normally-aspirated 1.5-liter. Featuring a DOHC layout, it replaces the current SOHC. All in all, it makes 121 horsepower and 145 Nm of torque. While its output is similar to the outgoing engine, it must be noted that it’s enough for a 10.2-second 0-100 km/h sprint, a top speed of 196 km/h, and a fuel economy of up to 18.51 km/L. For 2021, it looks like Honda is offering the manual gearbox only in the base variant; other variants get the Earth Dreams CVT.

In terms of variants, Honda has confirmed that the all-new City will have at least three variants: S, V, and for the first time ever, RS.

As for colors, the City is confirmed to come in the following hues:

• Ignite Red Metallic – S CVT, V, RS
• Modern Steel Metallic
• Platinum White Pearl V, RS
• Crystal Black Pearl
• Lunar Silver Metallic – S CVT, V
