- What's the perfect hatchback for the city? Well, the Honda City Hatchback, of course! This is the 2022 model year that fills in a gap that the Honda Jazz left following its departure from the Philippine market. Let's see whether it's a worthy replacement to the legendary nameplate that is loved the world over. Find out what we think of the Honda hatch on this Behind the Wheel review.

Caco is a one man wrecking machine
Driven my 2021 City sedan around 20k kms now. Steering wheel is the exact same as it was when I first drove it out of the dealership. No covers/sleeves (it's actually pretty thick already, which I like), no treatment done, no fancy shield sprays, and it still is the best steering wheel I've ever held.
Saw the hatch kanina sa EDSA while on an Angkas. I was starstruck! I would probably get one in a few months (hopefully lol)
@@Ivan-bg1jp go for it! The ride quality is super nice and for a CVT it's very responsive. If the hatch released when I got my City, I would have probably gone for that lol
20k km for less than year old car wow! You drive a lot.
@@jeffreygarcia145 I can't help it haha. My work requires me to drive long distances kasi. On top of that it's just such a nice car to drive
Thanks, man. Appreciate your feedback. It's always been something I've wondered about.
NICE!!!! I've been waiting for this review for a long time.
the quality of these videos are actually insanely good.
I honestly thought uncle Caco and friends would play around those ULTR seats to demo this hatch’s versatility in this review😭 #bitin for an Autodeal video
This man is so good at explaining in his videos that it actually capture my attention. Honestly, I would buy a car from him if I'm from PH
Finally! As a hatchback owner. This is a well done review. Kudos to you sir Caco and Autodeal.
Sorry sir newbie. Kaya ba nito hanggang baguio?
@@johnwilfredsaylon9131motor nga nakaakyat ng Baguio kotse pa 😂
Another great review, Caco! I really wish this cool hatchback was coming to the US market. Honda USA stopped importing the Jazz (Fit) after the 2020 model year, so there's no entry model here for under $20,000. Guess I'll be keeping my 2007 Fit for a few more years.
Noice u are one of those people who appreciate more of a reliable comfortable car then a sporty unreliable car I appreciate that I hope this model lasts for longer
Planning to have this one tomorrow... thank you Caco for that comprehensive review....more power Autodeal...
How is the city for you boss??
At last, I've waited for this
0:24 That is actually a nice transition with reflection of the Colorado!
Hi, City hatchback owner here, I got the blue variant of this car, this is actually my first car as a college student so I may be a little bias but here are my thoughts:
Whats Good/Great:
The colour is great and the hatchback makes it stand out abit more, this car will be great to customize and Im already saving for a spoiler
The height could be better but the other dimensions of this compensates for it
Comfort is great, Interior is as good as the RS sedan but it has a key difference in the seat patterns.
Fuel economy is great, I can use this car and not worry about the gas for maybe 4-5 days, depends on your commute, Full tank of this gives you around 400km
This car sounds great, especially when stepping on the gas pedal
Good AC, Starting this car outside on a hot day is godly
Great speakers
And the versatility of the hatch is great, I can fit alot inside and I can sleep too
Steering is light too
This car can handle rough roads well enough
Problems:
Not the fastest
Height is a problem, could be taller, like maybe increase it to 140 instead of 135
I don't think the headlights are bright enough, even with the fog lamps (Maybe Im bias because Im used to driving pick up trucks)
The middle row armrest is tooo low
Charging points, I wish they were usb instead
Back camera kinda sucks tbh
well said po. hatak nia hindi ganun ka lakas. arm rest ang iksi kaya bumili aq sa lazada nang arm rest extension back up camera lang tlga malabo pde po kaya Palitan po un malinaw?
@charmel anmalli yes sir pwede naman yan palitan, pero best sa shop mo pagawin sir and mag research ng ano compatible sa car po
@@A-Baguette621 babae po aq hehehe salamat po
@@A-Baguette621 yung fog light nia Sana soon mag karoon din nang yellow para mapalitan😅 nag pagawa kais aq temporary fog light yellow lang.
Our family had the 1st and 2nd gen CRV both had around 150k- km plus and I managed to use it 4 years ago when I got my license, using it for years as well as my parents the steering well was so slippery. I eventually had to put a steering wheel cover on it to get a better grip, sadly I had to sell because of the high maintenance is required and it just wasn't practical anymore. Now I'm driving a 2016 ASX and it's a much comfortable drive, I do hope the ASX would be revived for the Philippine market since crossovers are becoming increasingly more popular now.
this bad boy launched here in brazil aswell,im planning to get one for my dad in the 2024 model as im commenting rn,i absulutaly love this car both from the inside and outside.
Prices of this hatchback is equivalent to the price of a midclass suv way back in 2017. Just amazing how prices change
The handbrake safety feature also exists in other models as well, even in the Brio.
That hand brake thing does exist on lower trim levels of honda city and other models as well.
The last time I was this early, the jazz was still very popular 😔😂
Still is.
I hope you could make a comparo between the discontinued jazz and the new city hb. Would love to see it.
I still love the Jazz, especially the RS. I dont even have one, but have been dreaming since college to own one someday even thou it has been discontinued here in ph now. The only problem of the Jazz was the price.
Wow. We're on the same boat. Jazz is my first love of cars and I was saddened when I heard that it would be discontinued. Yet, here I am, still dreaming of owning one, be it brand new or used.
I'm a 2nd gen Jazz owner... and for me I wouldn't trade in my car for a City Hatchback. For a 3rd gen Jazz maybe. It looks sportier than the City hatchback.
I have as a second-hand (U.S.) 2007 Honda Fit (jazz/PH) that I bought back in April 2021 with 332,000 MILES, not kilometers! It is now going 338,xxx. It is an ugly looking model but im going to buy the same generation (2007-8) in PI when I get the chance to go for vacation.
Wish we got this in the UK, it looks much better than the Jazz while being smaller than the Civic which has become far too large. The design reminds me of the 7th gen civic
Great review 👍
Very good review!!
I wish they also have a pocket motorcycle as an option like the old city hach
Super solid Honda City Hatch 🔥 Very aesthetic sa personal, Powerful Engine, and Super tipid sa Long rides.
How does the hatch NVH compare with the sedan? Doesn't having a bigger resonating chamber amplify the noise?
seen one in the wild... it really looks great. How does it compare with the Mazda 2 hatchback?
The USB ports on the City sedan and hatch 2020/2021 are a step backwards in my opinion. You can only use the bottom port for Android Auto or USB MP3 playback - exclusively. The top port is a dead waste of time, you can only use it to charge/power a phone.
The Honda City 2015 model for example, ALL the ports work for USB MP3 playback and the 1 port dedicated for iPod/Nano - so you do not have to swap or take out a USB device.
Another annoyance is that an iPod/Nano DOES NOT work at all in the 2020/2021 model - "unsupported device" or "device unsupported"
I mean i dont understand why they did this, its really silly.
2009 Honda City steering wheel has some areas faded but still usable. I just bought a cover for aesthetic purpose. Anyway, I've seen a lot of reviews already and one thing stands out. Those Onitsuka Tigers! How many pairs do you own Caco? :D
This car is absolutely beautiful and gwapo at the same time!
I am a 2007 Jazz owner and was really quite sad that I may never own a brand new one again in the future. Methinks the bosses at Honda may have probably overpriced the 3rd gen. So it was not just the pandemic. I always expect to pay a little more for a Honda but there is always a certain cap to it. And they just exceeded that cap.

I’ve been driving the prev gen, GM6, for over 4 years now and the steering wheel is still black as heck! The only thing I don’t like is the piano black accents on the stick. Other than that, its still a pleasure to drive even after 40k. ✨
Hi caco, why don’t you review the new yaris? Love your reviews btw
Now i just to wait for you guys to make a review of the new civic
Jack, pakiayos yung details sa caption ng CARGO SPACE. 😚 hahahaha baliktad yung Folded at Unfolded. 😁✌
My family's Honda Jazz's steering wheel from 2009 started fading around 80,000km. It's at 100k km now.
is your jazz GD, GE or GK?
@@lakkgarcia8675 2009 that's a GE.
IMO it will never be as iconic as a GK5 Jazz
Great review.
Waiting on HONDA HR-V e-HEV's review.
phillipines didn't get the e-hev sadly
We have our 2009 honda city and the streering wheel is quite torn given that it is really old. But with that said, the handling is still pretty darn good, pwede ko nga bitawan habang nag dadrive and it will still stick on its lane hahahaha. I can't buy my own car but when I can, honda is top of my list.
I changed my steering grip after 20 years, yes it's 1998 type 1 Honda City
By the way.Since you've alrdy done a behind the wheel of the all new Nissan Almera! How about a review.Of the all new g4 of Mitsubishi and also comparing them too
Again.Thanks in advance
Ano kaya camera setup nila? Naging cinematic feels 🙌
My Honda City 2010 is still in good workimg condition. If ever there were repairs all just minor and not pricey to repair yet lol. When people drive the car naaliw sila sa takbo. All they could say is its running good, ganda ng takbo etc..Speaking of the steering wheel, still smooth no cracks and easy to maneuver.
M/T na City po?
Still a slight disappointment for a Jazz RS owner like me. However, at least Honda is sensible enough to NOT totally drop subcompact hatchbacks and sedans for an all-SUV/Crossover lineup. That said, this City Hatch is pretty decent, offers the same - not more versatility than my Jazz, but is heavier and slightly more expensive. So glad my Jazz 2019 still has plenty of years to run.
This is what i like about the “ipis” City sedan: the rear seats fold down to create more space besides the trunk cargo. Gone are the days.
Really wish this have a lower variant with manual
Im from a civic 1994 model, choosing from this hatch or the civic 2022 base model ❤️
great review!! just innova bomber 😅
Any review with the engine? Specifcally on the E-Con
I treasure my 2020 honda fit.
Thing of beauty
One day, the vids here will be in 4k
It appears the boot space with the seats up is smaller than the Jazz. That's a minus for practicality.
My Honda City 2010 had been driven almost for 120k-km. The steering wheel is already slippery. I bought a streering wheel cover to compensate for the lack of grip.
BTW I don’t know if the current steering wheel you mention is completely different from what I have.
Probably totally different materials then yours
We once had a 97' city and it was great! However, when we got our mobilio, it was easily one of the worst cars we've owned (mostly material qualities). This new city hatchback is definitely way better but the price is just not practical at this point. I could get the not so base variant of the civic lineup at the same price :///
Wish the Hatch came with a Manual. It's more fun and engaging to drive a manual.
is the apple carplay wireless on hatchback rs po? thank you
Steering wheel of my BRV is still amazing :)
Ganda talaga ng hatch civic ❤️
Ako lang ba ang nakapansin na ang ganda ng Onitsuka Tiger shoes collection ni Sir Caco.🕶️
Ako din.
Diggin' the kix Caco.Onitsuka Tiger?
So, jazz or city hatch? Given both are hatchback and have ULT.
I’m getting one soon but can’t choose between blue or gray
FINALLLLLYYY! ❤️❤️
my vehicles presently are: civic 2005 (which I will never get rid of) and a 2012 mazda 3 hb which I am not so fond of bec casa fuck ups and oem parts costing 1.5x as the honda despite driving just as good as the civic if not better. so thinking of replacing the mazda 3 with this so that only one casa is needed and i still get a hb.
Finally!
Did you guys fiddle around with your video quality? It seems more cinematic now, sure, but I would rather have the former super sharp and uber realistic format. But that's just my eyes talking.
Where’s the paddle shift?any delays on acceleration when pressing the gas hard?
its CVT @@
So... Walang M/T ang 2021 Honda City hatchback...?
Honda city typez 2000 still running not until today steering needs repair, so light on the steering love my old honda city typez
i'd definitely pick the hatchback over the sedan. you can't load a window-type a/c into the sedan but you could w/ the hatch
Using honda jazz for the past 9 years and I'm about to upgrade to honda city hatchback , the sure looks cool and the handling was great but the thing that instantly kills my interest is the amount of space, compared to the honda jazz , honda city felt very small, especially for the back seat the roof was very low ( I'm 163 cm there's barely any room between my head and the roof) so you need to kind of lay down a bit, fun car to drive but not for a family in my opinion
agree..
definitely jazz is way better..
Waiting for the arrival of the new Honda BR V 👍
3-weeks old city hatchback 2022 owner here boss.
If I only found out right away before the release of the unit that the blowby was so bad when you removed the dip stick and engine oil cap of the engine I wouldn't have bought it, I would have just had an altis.
The rear wheels are both misaligned.
The bad thing is, all of the new units in the dealership are like that, the engine blowby is so strong and the rear tires are "sakang" or having a negative camber.
Also, as a new owner, we are very careful and took care of the exterior's paint and plastic accents, but you can't imagine it happening in the casa because you're trusting them, the piano black plastic on the front of the hood obtained a lot of scratches since the mechanic did not put an engine bay cover or fender guard. Imagine a shiny 3-week old new unit that you brought in casa for early pms and you found out that it gained scratches after pms while at their service area. Tsk tsk
Another alarming concern was the transmission jerk, or what they called it shift-shock in an automatic transmission. It occurs once in a while during deceleration when you're doing engine breaking, attaining low rpm and low speed at 30-40kph. Tsk tsk
So you regret buying the city hatchback because of the issues you’ve mentioned??? How come we did not see any other owners having the same problems? And its not that big of a deal. Normal lang naman magtatalsik iyang oil sa disptick at engine cap kasi umaandar. Masyado ka lang sigurong OA. Pati yung camber sa rear may negative allowance naman iyan talaga alangan naman positive camber
@@strongherd naintindihan mo ang issues o hindi?
Anong normal ang talsik na sinasabi mo? Yung Fortuner V, Montero, MU-X, CRV, Rush, Vios, Crosswind at lumang esi namin walang blow-by!
Ano ba ang sasakyan mo? Baka ahente ka ni honda kaya apektado ka?
Cash ba o hulugan ang kotse mo kung meron man?
Pagpalagay natin na may bagong bili ka na kotse, tapos natadtad ng gasgas sa casa, hindi ka magrereklamo?!
Normal ang sakang na gulong sayo? Taga saang planeta ka?!
@@strongherd normal ang transmission jerk sayo?!
Anong klaseng utak meron ka?!
I see it's got a real handbrake, does it have a real spare? Is it ging to be sold in the UK?
No. The UK has the new generation fit.
@@icarefor2010 Thanks but I bet it deosn't have both a real handbrake and a reals spare.
oh great! thanks for the tip on how to connect via Bluetooth. 👍
That handbrake feature, is a feature i did not know i needed till now. 😑
I prefer this than sedan version
9:05 hahah that Innova's too close! :P
I've driven a 2008 City for 2 years and i can honestly tell that it was so comfortable. Mula pag-upo at pag hawak sa manibela hanggang sa pagtakbo, relax lang. Kahit 120k+ na yung odo ha😊
M/T yun City mo, Sir?
@@mio8008 A/T sir
@Dexter so far no issues sa Transmission?
Owned 2007 city AT sold it 2017 due to transmission issues
Pede b to sa 6'3 ang height?
honda civic narelease na ngayong araw sana maupload niyo na🙏🙏
Agree!
been driving my City RS 2021 Sedan for 4 months at 2.600km,
steering wheel still feels brand new, however when I started working and parked it in the open, the top part of the steering wheel kinda feels different
Wishing Honda will produce a 6x6 ATV hatchback w/ pick-up flatbed, car...
That has 15inch ground clearance, independent suspension on each wheel...
Plated Underbelly...
Air intake and Exhaust are snorkeled...
Has 32inch tires w/ 12inch widths...
When you come back from American tour...
Mas mataas pa ng konti Ground Clearance ng Brio RS? 🙃🙃🙃 If mag-upgrade ako, kala ko naman medyo mas tataas siya since 15inch lang yung wheels nung sa Brio RS, this is 16 😅
So noice 👌🏼👌🏼👌🏼👌🏼
*I hope I'm one of the winner of your shoes Caco, I'll take whatever color it is and the size doesn't matter.*
*Just 1 Onitsuka pls*
Hatchback should be more sporty and fun to drive compared to sedan. Cheers.
can you ave a comparison with new HRV. i really think they have overpriced this car. you can add a few and you'll get civic/hrv na
I already own a honda civic 1999 model and the steering wheel is still pretty damn good...but now i sold to my neighbor coz i want to upgrade to honda jet!
nung lumabas to naka bili na ako ng Vios haha sayang kung napaaga lang ang release eto sana kunin ko,
nice naman 😊
Why would someone get this rather than a Fit/Jazz?
If only honda could revived their civic 2 door hatchbacks. Just like the EG or EKs
was looking forward to getting a new Jazz.
I dont see any other options, Honda-wise for a hot hatch
Honda lost me as a customer
Can u open the back door inside
I have the Turbo version.It's great..
Tito Caco, heart me please!
Steering wheel find on my City for the first 150km.
