Honda Cars Philippines, Inc. (HCPI), Honda’s automobile business unit in the Philippines, announced the All-New City Hatchback’s strong sales performance. Since its launch, the model has climbed to the top of its class in sales.
The All-New City Hatchback officially arrived in the Philippines last April 20, 2021 through a virtual launch event. The model’s introduction paved way for Honda to expand its renowned City model line-up, as it serves as the brand’s newest offering in the hatchback category.
Since then, the model has become one of the country’s best-selling hatchbacks. In its segment, it occupies 75% of the market share with 189 units sold since its launch.
The All-New City Hatchback’s versatility is one of the many reasons for customers going for this model. Thanks to its Ultra Seats (ULTR), it can easily adapt to a wide variety of the owner’s lifestyle and cargo needs. Notable interior features such as the One Push with Smart Entry and Remote Engine Start System, 8-inch Advanced Touchscreen Display Audio with Apple CarPlay Android Auto & WebLink connectivity also add to the comfort, convenience, and ease of access for the customers. Other reasons include the strong equity of the Honda brand, as well as its sporty and stylish exterior RS design.
Customers have also shared their positive feedback on the model’s driving capabilities, as well as its power and fuel efficiency. Under the hood is the All-New City Hatchback’s 1.5-Liter 4 Cylinder DOHC i-VTEC engine that produces maximum power output of 121ps at 6,600 rpm and 145 Nm of torque at 4,300 rpm. This reaffirms the model’s released official fuel economy run result last May 2021, in partnership with Automobile Association of the Philippines (AAP), which achieved a fuel mileage of 25 kilometers per liter after a total of 73.5 kilometers highway day driving.
Lastly, aside from its versatile interior design, driving performance, and fuel efficiency, customers have also noted their better peace of mind on the road with the All-New City Hatchback. The All-New City Hatchback comes standard with six (6) airbags, G-Force Control (G-CON), Vehicle Stability Assist (VSA) Agile Handling Assist (AHA), Emergency Stop Signal (ESS), Anti-Lock Braking System (ABS), Electronic Brake Force Distribution (EBD), Hill Start Assist (HSA), Speed Sensing Auto Door Locks, and Multi-view Rear Camera with guidelines. On top of the model’s safety features, the All-New City Hatchback scored a 5-star safety rating from ASEAN NCAP (ASEAN New Car Assessment Program).
The All-New City Hatchback still retails at PHP 1,115,000, and is available in four colors—Ignite Red Metallic, Meteoroid Gray Metallic, Platinum White Pearl (additional PHP 20,000), and Brilliant Sporty Blue Metallic. All-in low downpayment, low monthly amortization, flexible payment terms, free insurance package, and other financing options are available at Honda Cars Dealership nationwide.
“We are truly delighted to see the All-New City Hatchback soar in the hatchback segment since its introduction in the country. Furthermore, we would like to extend our sincerest gratitude to our customers for their continuous support to Honda throughout the years. The positive acceptance of the Filipino market on the model means a lot for us and we would like to reaffirm our promise to continuously serve the country with quality products and excellent customer service.” Said Mr. Masahiko Nakamura, Honda Cars Philippines, Inc. (HCPI) president.
