When it comes to popular brands in the country, Honda is one of the big names out there in the automotive industry. It has been actively running for more than 30 years with its local branch Honda Cars Philippines, Inc. (HCPI), and has established a good reputation when it comes to delivering quality vehicles and giving Filipino car buyers the services and products they deserve.

The brand’s entry-level hatchback is the most affordable vehicle in its lineup. The Honda Brio is the easiest vehicle to own as it doesn’t have to occupy a big space in your garage. Parking your car and driving in tight city streets won’t be that much of a problem as well. If you happen to have a small family, then the Honda hatchback might be a good choice as your first car. It also comes with a bundle of essential features such as dual airbags, anti-lock brakes, and steering wheel audio controls. The price of this mini four-wheeled buddy starts at a great price point of P601,000 Philippine Pesos.

If you want a little more space and more features, you can choose to go with the Honda City hatchback. While it’s a big step up in price, the vehicle more than makes up for it with its more powerful engine and with the newer set of technologies that it carries. The second row of the vehicle can also be configured in several different ways to help you maximize your cargo capacity if needed. It can be had with a starting price of P1,115,000 Philippine Pesos with special paint options costing a little bit more.
