The facelifted 2024 Honda City Hatchback has been launched in Thailand, following recent sightings of undisguised units in the Kingdom. Fresh for 2024, the facelift City Hatchback (HB) gains improved tech and safety features along the lines of the City sedan facelift that came before it, as well as a new e:HEV variant. The 2024 City HB is now offered in 5 variants in Thailand – consisting of 3 turbocharged petrol and 2 e:HEV hybrid variants. Also read: Spied: Honda City Hatchback spotted undisgu

Malaysia’s current import and excise tax exemption for green vehicles is limited only to battery EV (BEV) models. Despite the tax exemptions, the cheapest BEV in Malaysia is still priced at RM 139,800 – Great Wall Motor’s Ora Good Cat, imported from China. The idea for the tax exemption is to have these imported BEVs kick-starting market demand so job-creating, investment-attracting local assembly projects can follow.

Just last week, we reported that Honda Philippines has discontinued sales of the Honda Jazz in anticipation of the 2021 Honda City Hatchback’s launch. Sure enough, the hatch is now on sale and the Philippines is the first market to get the City Hatchback in its left-hand-drive guise.

On the inside, the hatch mirrors the City RS sedan’

The Honda City Hatchback has been spotted on the roads, not only confirming that the rumours are correct, but also solidifies the fact that the all-new Jazz may not be launched in this region. Despite being draped in copious amount of camouflage, this is unmistakably the City Hatchback, as the front end looks just like the newly-launched City sedan. Furthermore, the rear end is similar to the leaked patent images, down to the rear wiper placement. In terms of powertrain, the upcoming City Hatchb
