You'll feel it from your first test drive. For a car this size, the new Honda City kicks it up a notch. It delivers high-output power as well as amazing fuel efficiency and environmentally friendly performance. You'll be looking good and feeling very smart.
From every angle, the City impresses with its dramatic lines and aggressive contours. This car changes all the rules for compact sedans.
Exterior
A sprinter's stance
The City puts sports style front and centre, with a bold grille that arches into wrap-around slit headlights. This powerful face flows into the City's aerodynamic body and amped-up rear deck. This car is poised for take off even before you get inside.
Wheels that grip the road
Under strong wheel arches, the City's 15" steel wheels (VTi) and 16" alloys (VTi-L) enhance the City's athletic looks as well as its on-road performance.
Aerodynamic smarts
The City's "arrow shot form" doesn't just create a forceful visual impression. This aerodynamic design helps it slip through the air with maximum efficiency.
A bold new face in Honda's line-up
The Honda City gives you all the style and performance of a sedan, but in a more compact form. This affordable, efficient vehicle takes a proud place in Honda's Australian range of cars.
Interior
Hop inside. This car is amazing.
You need to experience this to fully appreciate it: the Honda City is a compact car with plenty of room inside. There's space for everybody – and their stuff. The driver is especially well looked after, with a cockpit that looks and feels great.
More boot space than a Holden Commodore
With 506 litres of boot capacity, the City can carry four golf bags, or pretty much anything else you need to toss in. What's more, you can stow a board or bicycle by folding down the 60:40 split rear seats.
Bring your (big) friends along for the ride
When you hit the road with your mates, you'll all be pleasantly chuffed about City's remarkable head and legroom. In fact, when it comes to cabin space, it beats every other car in its class.*

You know that feels good
Our engineers call it "holding ability". It's that comfortable, supportive and secure feeling of the City’s seats. You’ll want them in your lounge room, too.
Smart dashboard display
The bright, bold digital and analogue information displays keep everything clear and simple. They're easy to read in any light.
Performance & Economy
Drive every drop
The 5-speed automatic City uses just 6.6 litres of fuel per 100 km, the manual just 6.3.* So you can drive past your local servo a lot more often. Sweet as.
*The fuel consumption figure is based on ADR81/02 combined test results for City manual transmission.
Inside the engine of the City
Max power. Min fuel. That's the big idea of the 1.5 litre i-VTEC engine under the bonnet of the City.
What's i-VTEC all about? This breakthrough technology continuously varies the engine's valve intakes to meet changing power demands. It's how the City can deliver impressive levels of maximum power (88kw at 6600rpm) and torque (145Nm at 4800rpm), without compromising overall fuel efficiency
5-speed manual or auto
The City is equipped with either a slick-shifting 5-speed manual transmission, or an ultra-smooth 5-speed automatic. The fifth gear ensures quiet, efficient performance even at higher speeds.
Excellent manoeuvrability
The City gets you into tight spots in town and out of tight spots on the road. The turning radius is just 5.0 metres at wheel centre. And the lightweight, high-rigidity body structure gives you optimally balanced, rock-solid handling
Drive by wire throttle
The City's drive by wire (DBW) throttle improves engine efficiency while reducing emissions. It replaces mechanical cable controls between the accelerator pedal and throttle with high-precision electronics.
Fuel watch on the dash
There are stacks of better ways to burn through your cash than buying petrol. With City, it's easy to monitor and maximise how much you're saving.
Just glance down at the fuel economy display. It can help you learn to drive more efficiently and even estimates how far you can go before you next fill up.
Euro 4 emissions
The City easily meets all Euro 4 emissions standards. It releases just 148g/km of CO2 in the manual, and 156g/km in the auto. Its construction is kinder to the environment too, with many recyclable, lower impact materials used throughout.
Safety
This City looks after you
When you're behind the wheel of the City, Honda safety innovations are protecting you and your passengers every step of the way. City helps prevent roadway mishaps and increase cabin protection with a very smart range of active and passive safety features.
Tested, proven performance
Honda operates the world's largest indoor crash testing facility. It's where we develop and test safety technologies such as Advanced Compatibility Engineering (ACE). In case of a collision, this innovative technology makes the City more compatible with vehicles of different sizes.
What is G-Force Control?
Honda's G-Force Control Technology, or G-CON®, helps improve driving safety by controlling the forces of a collision's impact.
Smart Anti-Lock Braking
Complementing City's Anti-Lock Braking System (ABS), Electronic Brakeforce Distribution (EBD) helps increase vehicle stability, and Brake Assist (BA) facilitates the driver's pedal action during emergencies.
Class-leading airbag protection
Six airbags are fitted on every City. Front and side airbags protect the driver and front passenger, and full-length curtain airbags help guard front and rear occupants.
