Honda Cars Philippines (HCPI) has dropped a bombshell on us and launched two new models back-to-back: the facelifted Brio and the refreshed City. Before we get to the hatch, let’s look at the subcompact sedan first.
The new City now boasts a slightly redesigned front fascia that, frankly, now looks more Civic-esque. The chrome trim appears to be wider, and the nose and bumper now protrude more from the front fascia. The overall silhouette, however, is still retained. The rear end also remains untouched.

Powering the new City is the same 1.5-liter naturally aspirated gasoline engine that generates 119hp at 6,600rpm and 145Nm of torque at 4,300rpm. As with most Hondas in the local lineup, the City can only be had with a CVT.
What’s new for this refresh is the addition of Honda Sensing features across the range. Yes, including the base variant. The suite for the City includes adaptive cruise control (without low-speed follow), a collision-mitigation braking system, lane-departure warning with lane-keep assist, road-departure mitigation, auto high beam, and lead car departure notification.
