Distinctive, energetic lines. From every angle, the City impresses with its dramatic lines and aggressive contours. This car changes all the rules for compact sedans.

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.

A charged-up first impression. There's plenty of firepower in the City's muscular, angular grille, including blacked-out sub-reflectors that emphasise its dramatic lines.

Halogen headlights. City's contemporary eye-slit headlights and rear combination lights provide a brilliant start and finish to the design.

Chrome exhaust tip. When you pull away from the crowd, the City VTi-L's bright and durable chrome exhaust tip accents its sports profile.

Fog lights. Standard equipment on the VTi-L, fog lights provide increased road surface light through dust, fog and other tough driving conditions.

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.*

*1.5 litre light sedan 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.

Adjustable steering column. Put yourself in the best possible position with tilt steering column adjustment in the VTi, tilt and telescopic in the VTi-L.

Split fold rear seats let you pack in a board. Fold down both sides of the 60:40 split rear seats for maximum rear cabin cargo storage, or a single side for stowing narrow objects like surf boards.

Stacks of storage. Your stuff comes in all sizes, so City gives you lots of convenient pockets, boxes and trays. Plus, seven cup-holders should help quench everyone's thirst.

Cool things off fast. The City’s standard air conditioning system includes vents in the rear seat floor area. Its quiet, high-volume performance cools everyone down fast.

A strong, all-round performer. 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.

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.

Kick back with cruise control. It's a big country. Cruise control makes it a lot easier to get around. It takes the strain out of highway driving and can even boost your fuel economy on the open road. The steering wheel-mounted controls are right at your fingertips too.

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.

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.

Newly designed suspension. The City’s chassis, including its newly designed H-beam rear suspension, brings together the best combination of urban driving agility and higher speed stability. It’s responsive and smooth, even when you push it hard.

4-wheel disc braking. Disc brakes on all four wheels improve performance and make braking a little easier. Standard Anti-Lock Braking (ABS) makes the City safer, too.

Crank it up. City knows what your music means. The City keeps you connected to the music you love. That means ports for more players and the flexibility to play a range of digital file types. Like music itself, the City breaks through boundaries—and makes you feel good every time.

What's your player? iPod. MP3. USB. CD. With the City, it’s your call. City’s USB and AUX jacks, along with its CD player, are fully integrated with digital media dashboard controls. It’s something all cars will have someday.* Why wait?

Controls where you want them. Steering wheel-mounted audio controls let you keep your eyes on the road while keeping your ears happy too.

Optimally placed speakers. The City's four speakers are tuned especially for the acoustic conditions of the cabin space. In other words, they sound great.

Very file-friendly. Versatility is something that comes naturally to the City. Its sound system supports WMA, MP3 and AAC digital music files.

Hear the music, not the noise. With City's floor and roof sound insulation, as well as the noise-damping materials between you and the engine, it’s just you and your music inside.

*The iPod is integrated through audio display for iPod Nano and iPods from 5th generation onwards. Older iPod models will only operate through the audio system and firmware updates may be required for audio display compatibility. Please refer to your iPod User Guide for information on iPod firmware updates.

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.

All-round visibility. The City's wide window spaces, easily visible boot end, and large side mirrors minimise blind areas. They help make driving safer, as well as help you feel confident reversing into tight spots.

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.

Seatbelts that think fast. The City features 3-point (lap/sash) belts on all 5 seats. Plus, the front seats are equipped with a pre-tensioner system that tightens the belts when a strong frontal impact is detected.

The City's greatest asset is space, especially in the back seat and the boot, which is huge for a small sedan. Four adults can travel comfortably in the City, and their gear can go in the boot. No other small car offers this capacity.

Things to like:
• Heaps of space  • Huge boot  • Full iPod connectivity  • Honda reliability
• Reasonable ride/handling compromise
