For its current generation, the Honda City Hatchback utilizes the Honda Global Small Car Platform. It carries over its predecessor’s unibody and suspension layout coming with MacPherson struts at the front and a torsion beam setup at the rear. Honda states that it has tuned the suspension to be more comfortable in order to make the sedan easier to drive. The Honda City’s stopping power comes from ventilated discs at the front and drum brakes at the rear for all variants. For its parking brake, Honda has chosen to retain the hand brake in the previous model. When it comes to steering the Honda City comes with an electric-assist rack and pinion system along with an electric power steering system.

Similar to the City sedan, the Honda City Hatchback has the same chassis and platform as its more popular body style. It drives the same and it handles the same way, which means that engine performance is nice and responsive also thanks in part to the CVT that keeps the engine in its optimal powerband. With its beefier midrange power, the City feels slightly faster than the old because of more usable power. With a MacPherson strut in the front and a torsion beam in the rear, it offers a good base that allows it to handle quite well. It takes corners well and it accelerates out of them with decent haste. The City Hatch also features decent NVH which makes for a fairly quiet ride.
