The Honda City is equipped with a CVT five-speed parallel axis automatic transmission, which operates by engaging gear pairs with a larger transmission ratio during low-speed driving.
The vehicle dimensions are: length 4450mm, width 1695mm, height 1477mm, wheelbase 2600mm, minimum ground clearance 150mm, and a total weight of 1094kg. It is powered by a 1.5-liter turbocharged inline-four engine, generating a maximum horsepower of 131ps, a maximum torque of 155Nm, a maximum power of 96kw, with maximum power RPM at 6600rpm and maximum torque RPM at 4600rpm, paired with a CVT transmission.
The Honda City (also known as City) is recognized for its excellent fuel efficiency among its peers, featuring stable overall quality, with occasional minor noise issues, providing peace of mind for owners. Additionally, the sound system is commendable, equipped with AUX and USB ports for added convenience.
As for its current status, the City model has been discontinued, with the last model being the 2019 version, positioned as a compact car produced by GAC Honda. Its advantages include a good speaker system and ample storage space. It features a 1.5-liter 131-horsepower naturally aspirated engine, with a maximum power of 96kW and a maximum torque of 155Nm, available with either a CVT or a five-speed manual transmission.
The primary reasons for the discontinuation of the City include poor sales, low playability, slow update frequency, simplistic configuration, and unsatisfactory comfort. As a family-oriented vehicle, the City lacks basic features such as stability control, tire pressure monitoring, Bluetooth connectivity, and even a radio in lower trims, and the rear seats cannot be folded in a split manner, making it less suitable for family needs. Moreover, the suspension is quite stiff, providing a good ride on smooth roads but resulting in noticeable bumps and noise when traversing uneven surfaces or speed bumps.
