In addition, the car's unique Ultra Seat folding feature makes the storage space of the vehicle even more flexible.
As for the power system, our test drive Honda City Hatchback was equipped with a 1.5L naturally aspirated engine version, matched with a CVT gearbox. This power system is smooth and efficient when driving on city roads.

It's worth mentioning that the hybrid model has also strengthened the sound insulation. In addition, with the addition of the Honda Sensing safety suite, such as adaptive cruising control and collision mitigation braking system, safety during driving has been elevated.
Honda City Hatchback's suspension tuning tends towards sporty, providing good cornering support and stability, making driving more flexible and fun.
