The details specifications of the new Honda City 2009 are now officially available as it has been released in Thailand. It is expected to be priced around Rs. 12 lakh in Pakistan. For the first time, Honda is also releasing Honda City in Europe which means that Honda is expecting alot from this new Honda.
The New Honda City was launched in Thailand yesterday with prices ranging around 520,000-700,000 baht. The conversion is about MYR 1.00 to 9.8 Baht currently, which translates to RM 54,000 to own a City.
The new City comes with a 1.5 Litre I-VTEC Engine, i believe it should be the same as the newly launched Honda Jazz’s engine. As far as i remember, this powerplant churns out about 120 horsepower, which i think is really really a lot for just a 1.5L engine !
On the first look, you will feel that its like a reduced size of the latest Honda Accord, as the front grille feels the same, even the headlight feels like the new Accord ! So you get the feeling of driving a mini-Accord. Some says that it looks like the Euro-Civic FCX, which i also agree with.
The rear looks much nicer than the previous City in my very very humble opinion, as i always feel that the previous City’s rear made the car looked rather bulky…
This is a really sporty looking City i would say, with 5 Speed Automatic Transmission, i am guessing that it should also come with Paddle shifters as well like the new Jazz.
