New Honda City - Always Ahead

2012 Honda City

Big news! Honda Cars Philippines start the new year with a bang with the launch of the 2012 City (known in South Africa as the Ballade) Minor Change that was introduced in Thailand last year. From here, the 2012 City features a new grille, new bumper, new taillights, steering wheel-mounted audio controls, new instrumental cluster, and some chrome accents on the center console.

It still gets the same 1.5L and 1.3L engines and the same 5-speed transmissions but the pricing starts at 746,000 Philippine Pesos for the entry-level 1.3 S MT variant up to 836,000 Philippine Pesos for the 1.5 E AT variant.

What an unsuspecting move...

Here in Thailand, the 2012 Honda City (known in some as the Ballade) minor change has arrived and for this minor change, the City gained a new grille, new X-shaped bumpers, new rims, new rear lamps, ECO indicator, blue-colored instrumental panels, and that's about it.

I hope that Honda Cars Philippines got the memo about the Honda City minor change and bring it here soon.
