Shanghai, October 6 (Gasgoo.com) Guangzhou Honda will soon begin production of Honda's brand-new City car, the Beijing news reported today.
The car will probably have a new name because it targets at different consumers compared with the existing model, the report cited an informed source from the manufacturer as saying. The new City will be an A-class car instead of A0-class, to which the current City belongs.
The new City is reportedly powered by 1.5-liter and 1.8-liter engines, and both engine types will be mated with the 5-speed autonomous transmission. The sales of this third-generation City model mainly targets consumers in Asia and other emerging markets.
Honda's first-generation Honda City was introduced in 1996, quickly responding to the growing needs for automobiles in Asian markets associated with economic growth in the region.
Today, the City car is produced in seven countries and enjoyed by customers in 39 nations around the world.
