Honda City Hatchback RS

Experience the Thrill of the Honda City Hatchback RS: Where Style Meets Performance

At first glance, the Honda City Hatchback RS stands out with its sleek design and sporty appeal. But once you get behind the wheel, it’s clear that this small car is more than just a pretty face—it’s an exciting driving experience, packed with cutting-edge technology, impressive fuel efficiency, and plenty of power for city streets. After recently taking the Honda City Hatchback RS for a spin, we couldn’t help but be impressed by how well it balances practicality and fun. Whether you’re running errands or exploring the open road, the City Hatchback RS feels like it was designed with you in mind.

Compact Power for Every Drive

A Smart Engine for City Living

Under the hood, the Honda City Hatchback RS is equipped with a 1.5L RS DOHC i-VTEC engine that offers a perfect mix of fuel efficiency and power. During our test drive, we appreciated how seamlessly the engine performed on both busy city roads and open highways. With a power output of 98ps and 127Nm of torque, it has enough muscle to give you that satisfying push on acceleration without compromising on fuel savings.

But what really stood out was the hybrid system, which includes an electric motor generating 109ps and 253Nm of torque—perfect for those times when you need a burst of power. The City Hatchback RS can hit 0-100 km/h in just 9.7 seconds, which is impressive for a car of its size. And if you’re concerned about fuel efficiency, the 3.6L/100km economy is just another reason why this car is great for both daily commuting and weekend getaways.

Driving Dynamics and Handling

We were impressed by how the Honda City Hatchback RS handled on a variety of road types. Thanks to its MacPherson Strut front suspension and Torsion Beam rear suspension, it offers a comfortable, smooth ride, while maintaining precise handling. Whether navigating tight turns or cruising along a smooth highway, the City Hatchback RS is incredibly responsive, giving us a real sense of control.

With Electric Continuous Variable Transmission (e-CVT), shifting between gears was smooth, and the car easily adapted to both Econ and Sport modes, depending on our driving style and the environment. We loved how the car felt effortlessly powerful, whether we were driving in the city or pushing the car a bit more on faster roads.

A Cabin That Feels Like Home

Comfort and Technology for Every Journey

One of the highlights of the Honda City Hatchback RS is its interior. Designed with both comfort and practicality in mind, the car features half-leather seats that provide just the right amount of luxury without feeling over the top. The cabin is spacious enough to accommodate the driver and passengers comfortably, and it feels incredibly refined, even on long drives.

The 8-inch touchscreen infotainment system comes with Apple CarPlay™ and Android Auto™, so you’re always connected to your favorite apps and music. The Honda LaneWatch Camera proved to be incredibly helpful during parking, giving us a clear view of the blind spot on the passenger side, while the multi-angle reverse camera made reversing easy and stress-free.

With a single auto air conditioner and rear air conditioning ventilation, all passengers are kept comfortable regardless of the weather outside. We noticed how quickly the system adjusted to our settings, making it ideal for both hot days and cooler evenings.

Safety First: Honda Sensing Technology

Keeping You and Your Loved Ones Safe

When it comes to safety, the Honda City Hatchback RS doesn’t hold back. Our test drive felt reassuring, thanks to the suite of Honda Sensing features. From Lane Departure Warning to Adaptive Cruise Control and Forward Collision Warning, we felt protected on every stretch of road. The Collision Mitigation Braking System (CMBS) is a feature that gives you peace of mind, especially in dense traffic or unpredictable driving conditions.

In addition to these safety features, the Honda City Hatchback RS is equipped with dual front SRS airbags, side airbags, and side curtain airbags—ensuring that the safety of everyone in the car is always a priority.

Style That Turns Heads

Sporty Yet Sophisticated

The Honda City Hatchback RS combines sporty aesthetics with refined touches. During our test drive, we couldn’t help but notice how the LED headlights, LED daytime running lights, and front fog lights gave the car a bold presence on the road. The 16-inch alloy wheels and stylish design, coupled with an optional Modulo Honda Custom Performance body kit, made the car feel more personalized, adding a touch of individuality to its already stunning design.

With color options like Ignite Red Metallic, Platinum White Pearl, and Meteoroid Gray Metallic, the Honda City Hatchback RS is sure to match your unique personality.

Convenience and Technology for a Smarter Drive

Honda CONNECT: Your Car, Always in Touch

The Honda CONNECT system enhances convenience by offering remote vehicle monitoring, safety alerts, and location tracking. This technology proved useful when we needed to track the vehicle’s location or activate the security system remotely, adding another layer of convenience and peace of mind to our driving experience.
