Honda City

The Honda City is a subcompact car manufactured by the 
Japanese manufacturer Honda since 1981. Originally made 
for the Japanese, European and Australasian markets, the 
City was retired without replacement in 1994. The nameplate 
was then revived for use on a series of compact four door 
sedans particularly aimed at developing markets, mainly 
sold in Asia outside of Japan but lately also in Latin America 
and Australia.

From 2002 to 2008, the City was also known as the Honda 
Fit Aria in Japan domestic market. It is a subcompact sedan 
built on Honda's Global Small Car platform, which it shares 
with the Fit/Jazz (a five-door hatchback), the Airwave/Partner 
(a wagon/panel van version of the Fit Aria/City), the Mobilio, 
and the Mobilio Spike�all of which share the location of the 
fuel tank under the front seats rather than rear seats. By 
mid-2009, cumulative sales of the City has exceeded 1.2 
million units in over 45 countries around the world since the 
nameplate was revived in 1996.
