2020 honda city

The Honda City made its official debut in Thailand back in November of 2019. The all-new vehicle was launched with a new 1.0-liter turbocharged powerplant and with a new RS variant. While the vehicle is already on sale in Thailand the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic has delayed its launch in other countries. New information about the vehicle has come up thanks to leaked images of a brochure. The brochure appears to be for the Indian version of the vehicle but it does showcase new features that we want in the Philippine version. It is important to note that Honda Philippines has yet to make an official announcement as to when the all-new model will be making its way into the country.

Honda City lane watch cameras

Just like its bigger sibling the Accord and Civic, the all-new city will be getting a lane watch camera. These cameras will be located under each side-view mirror. These devices will then send a live video feed into the infotainment system that will be triggered when the driver turns on their indicators. The new feature allows the driver to quickly glance at traffic on either side making lane changing easier and safer. While the feature is great and convenient don’t expect to see on higher-end models as only the top of the line variant will be getting it.
