Honda City Hatchback

Moving in, the Honda City Hatchback presents its users with a similar overall feeling. The car resonates strongly with the interiors that were previously present in the predecessor.

Users can also notice how the City hatch fans of tactile buttons and dials resonate well when compared with the ergonomics of the car. Overall, the interior is satisfying and the automaker has done a great job with the use of piano-black plastic to keep up with the black-brown interior appeal, bound to attract buyers.

Talking about the looks of the Honda City Hatchback, the car resonates with a styling feature that looks similar to the previous models.

Throughout the exterior of the car, users can notice that the City tries to keep up with a minimalist design feature with strong lines running across the body.

Further, the rear of the car also witnesses some major rework with its design feature. The City hatchback presents us with a subtle-looking rear spoiler instead of the trunk of the car. Other accessories include a shark-fin antenna, and the famous ‘RS’ badging in red, to match the one on the grille upfront. Lastly, the hatch runs on two-tone Berlina Black aluminium alloys, too.
