Now on its third generation issue in the Philippines, the newly enhanced Honda City sports a bolder, yet more elegant look. Adorning the front fascia is a freshly-designed grille, now chromed for that sharp, distinct appearance. A new bumper, wider and with a more masculine shape, lends an overall aggressiveness to the new model. At the rear, the famed taillights that extend to the edge of the body are redesigned, now looking more sophisticated and stylish. A more dynamic rear bumper, now with diffuser completes the bold looks. Meanwhile a 5 split-spoke 15” alloy wheels enhance the side profile of the 1.5 variant.

The interior gets a fresh makeover, too, with new features that are designed to enhance the driving experience. Audio controls are now attached to the steering wheel, allowing the drivers’ hands to remain safely on the steering wheel even if the need to adjust the music arises.

The instrument cluster is freshened with a blue and white color ambience, lending a more relaxed and serene feel inside the cabin. The center console is made to look more luxurious with chrome accents. A clever addition to the instrument cluster is the Eco Drive Indicator Lamp -– a device that lights up whenever the driver is driving efficiently – which will serve as a reminder and a motivation for fuel efficient driving.

With passenger safety paramount in Honda’s mind, all variants of the Honda City is now equipped with Dual (driver and passenger) SRS airbags, as well as Anti-Lock Braking System (ABS) with Electronic Brake-Force Distribution (EBD). The ABS and EBD system prevents the wheels from locking during sudden braking, allowing the driver to control the car in dire situations.

All Honda City variants are equipped with class-leading features such as powerful i-VTEC engines in 1.5L and 1.3L displacements, 5-speed Automatic Transmission, Integrated Audio with USB and Auxiliary Jack, Fuel Economy Meter (average and instantaneous readout) and the Paddle Shifters (1.5 E AT only). And for the discerning customers, a new color – Sparkling Brown – has been added to the line-up.

First launched in the Philippines in 1996, the Honda City originated the Sub-compact sedan or B-category in the country, and still remains at the forefront of the category until now. When the third generation Honda City was launched, it further reinvented the sub-compact segment with rule-changing looks and features, not ordinarily found in other sub-compacts. Its slogan “Change the Rules” perfectly captured the essence of the City – continuously challenging the norms and expectations of what a sub-compact sedan should be.

To date the Honda City has remained the best-selling model in the Honda line-up. It has sold approximately 68,000 units in the Philippines, attesting to the reliability and quality of the car. It has garnered numerous awards including the Auto Focus People’s Choice Sub-Compact Car of the Year and Sub-Compact Sedan of the Year from Car Awards Group Inc.

Three variants of the 2012 Honda City will be available:
1.3-liter S MT Php 746,000

Consequently, Honda Cars Philippines, Inc. would like to inform its customers that 77 units of Civic 1.6 VTi-S produced locally from 2001-2002 are affected.

Findings show that the inflator did not have the specified amount of propellant which may cause it to accelerate at the time of deployment and subsequently cause the inflator container to rupture.

There has been no known or reported case of abnormal deployment or injury related to this defect in the Philippines or elsewhere worldwide. With the total safety of Honda vehicle users as priority at all times, HCPI is taking this voluntary safety recall to replace SRS parts of affected units. Civic models with the following frame numbers are included in the recall:

Letters of notice will be sent to concerned Civic owners starting August 16, 2010. To conduct the recall in an orderly manner, customers are requested to call their respective dealers, or the Honda Hotline at 1-800-1000-Honda (46632) or (02) 857-7240 and visit our website, www.hondaphil.com, for inquiries and details of scheduling. Replacement of affected parts will be carried out in all 27 authorized dealers and 3 service centers nationwide, free of charge.

Owners of Civic models not included in the recall have no reason to worry since different inflator specifications were used. Other Honda models such as the City, Jazz, Accord, CR-V, Pilot, Odyssey and HR-V sold and distributed by Honda Cars Philippines, Inc. are likewise not affected.
