Weeks after the leadership has been turned over, newly-hailed Honda Cars Philippines, Inc. (HCPI) President and General Manager Noriyuki Takakura spearheaded the unveiling of the new Honda City. Honda City Last May 22, the local arm for the Japanese carmaker introduced the new City at the City of Dreams, Paranaque City, with hopes that it would gain a bigger following in the local automotive market.

Although packed with their ever-reliable 1.5-liter i-VTEC SOHC four-cylinder engine that produces 118 hp at 6,600 rpm and 145 Nm of torque at 4,800 rpm, Takakura said that the exterior of the New City has a firm resemblance to its big brother—Honda Civic—with its redesigned front fascia complemented by the new front and rear bumpers, which gives it a sporty look. Aside from that, he said the new City has been equipped with LED Daytime Running Lights (DRL), while the top variant VX+ comes with LED headlights and LED fog lights for design and better illumination. Supplementing the sporty, aggressive looks are it diamond-cut 15-inch wheels for VX and VX+ variants while standard 15-inches for the E CVT variant.
