According to the information posted on the website of the Vehicle Registration Department, the new generation Honda City has completed the registration process and is ready to launch in Vietnam.

On the L and RS versions of the Honda City, the Japanese carmaker has equipped this B-segment sedan model with disc brakes instead of the old generation’s drum brakes. Meanwhile, the G version of the Honda City still retains drum brakes on the rear axle.

However, electronic parking brakes have not yet appeared on the Honda City 2023. According to the information posted on the website of the Vehicle Registration Department, all 3 upcoming versions of the Honda City are equipped with mechanical parking brakes.

In exchange with Zing, many sales consultants confirmed that the new generation Honda City to be launched in Vietnam will be equipped with the Honda Sensing safety package. This is a safety system that includes many driver assistance features such as adaptive cruise control, lane keeping assist, and emergency automatic braking.

“The new generation Honda City will be launched around June-July with many additional features along with the Honda Sensing safety package,” the sales staff said.

Technical specifications of the upcoming Honda City 2023 RS version in the Vietnamese market.

In the 2023 version, the length of the Honda City has increased slightly by 27-36 mm. Under the hood, Honda still equips its best-selling sedan model with a 1.5L 4-cylinder petrol engine that produces a maximum power of 119 horsepower.

Currently, the Honda City is temporarily the second best-selling B-segment sedan in the Vietnamese market, behind the Hyundai Accent in terms of sales. After the first 4 months of the year, the Honda City achieved a sales volume of 3,588 units, equivalent to an average of nearly 900 units per month.

Honda has been offering a continuous pre-tax fee promotion for the Honda City B-segment sedan since the end of 2022. Thanks to this, the sales volume of the Honda City has consistently remained at a good level and is temporarily surpassing the Toyota Vios in the mainstream sedan segment.

The Honda City is assembled in Vietnam with 3 versions, priced at 529 million VND for the G version, 569 million VND for the L version, and 599 million VND for the RS version.
