After more than 30 years, the Honda City has come full circle and is available again with a hatchback body style. The sedan version remains and the hatchback is now simply known as the Honda City Hatchback.

With its launch in Thailand, hopefully the Honda City Hatchback will reach Malaysia soon.

The next generation Honda Jazz is adorable, but it doesn't look like we'll be getting it.

It seems the Honda City Hatchback does not sacrifice the practicality of the Honda Jazz.
