We’ve pretty much revealed the 2009 Honda City completely already, but we might as well report on the official launch of the new model in Thailand, for sale in neighbouring countries such as India, Malaysia and China.
The new City features a new nose similar to Honda’s hydrogen-powered city car, while the rest of the design is unlike any other Honda.
Powered by a 120 hp 1.5-litre 4-cylinder engine, it comes with either a 5-speed manual or a 5-speed automatic, ditching the previous model’s CVT transmission that had 7 simulated speeds.
The cabin is probably all hard plastics again, but it all looks decent at least. Cabin space has improved over the previous model, and can now better fit tall adults in the back.
Except the 2009 Honda City to hit Dubai and GCC roads in the first few months of 2008, at a starting price of around Dhs 45,000, if not more. Our market will probably get the Thailand-built version.
