It’s finally here in Thailand! The 2021 New Honda City Hatchback has made its world debut at Thailand International Motor Expo 2020. Everything almost looks the same with the sedan version until you see the rear of the car. The hatchback body style features a longer roofline to meet the roof spoiler, which is placed above the tailgate with a rear window that looks similar to the Honda Jazz or Honda Fit. For the market in Thailand, the City Hatchback is selling in three variants, S+, SV, and RS. S+ is the most basic variant that is priced at 599,000 baht, SV is the mid-spec variant that is selling 675,000 baht, and the top-ranging RS is priced at 749,000 baht. These three variants features the same 1.0 litre (998 cc) three-cylinder VTEC Turbo engine which produces 122 horsepower and 173 Nm of torque. It’s more than enough for a light-weight B-Segment car. Other than City Hactchback, we also see City e:HEV Sedan and Civic RS Turbo version. Here’s the full video of Thailand International Motor Expo 2020.
As you can see from the video, the most eye-catching car at the Toyota area is no doubt the Toyota GR Yaris and the Toyota GR Supra. Toyota GR Yaris is not the ordinary Yaris where we often see on the street, this three-door pocket rocket features a G16E-GTS 1.6 liter turbocharged three-cylinder engine producing 261 PS and 360 Nm of torque. It takes only 5.5 seconds to rocket from 0 to 100 km/h and all the way to the top speed of 230 km/h. It’s definitely something exciting to see in today’s automobile world.
As for Mazda, we see Mazda 2, Mazda 3, Mazda CX-30 100th Anniversary Edition. These three cars come in special white and they are fitted with Mazda’s 100th Anniversary badges on both the body and seats.
