Honda has made the new B-segment 2020 Honda City official with the new turbo engine, updated design, and RS model option.
Like the Honda Jazz 2020 that was revealed a month ago, the Honda City 2020 features a bigger metal accent at the front and streamlined sides and rear with a combination of LED lightings.

The interior also received a minor facelift especially on the dashboard with a touch infotainment display that supports Apple CarPlay and Android Auto.
The biggest change is under the hood with the introduction of the 1.0-liter 3-cylinder turbo engine that produces 120 horsepower and 173 Nm of torque.
Honda Philippines will likely launch the 1.0-liter variant in our local market along with the 1.5-liter 4-cylinder older engine. Or perhaps they will shift to the 1.0-liter lone option.
Speaking of 1.0-liter Turbo, Toyota has introduced the subcompact Raize SUV last month with the said engine.
