The latest Honda City is getting plenty of attention from tuners in Thailand, with NKSDesign revealing two body kits for the B-segment sedan that are inspired by performance models in Honda’s line-up.
At first glance, it’s obvious where the company got its inspiration, as the kits attempt to mimic the look of the current NSX as well as the pre-facelift FK8 Civic Type R. With the “City NSX” look, you’re getting a new “winged” front bumper that comes with a lower splitter and matching side skirts.
Meanwhile, the rear bumper sports a diffuser with the same number of fins as the NSX, and similarities even extend to the trapezoidal-shaped exhaust. Completing the kit is a prominent GT wing on the rear boot, which isn’t what you’ll find on the hybrid sports car.
If the first option isn’t your cup of tea, how about the “City Type R?” This kit is as you’d expect, with new front and rear bumpers that are pretty much carbon copies of those found on the hot hatch, complete with large faux inlets in the corners, with the rear also featuring the triple-outlet exhaust and large wing.
Of course, NKSDesign isn’t the only one providing body kits for the GN1 City, as NKGarage has previously rolled out a series of carbon-fibre parts for the model that don’t attempt to “copy” Honda’s hardest-hitting cars. There’s also the OEM route, with a range of Modulo parts developed and sold by Honda Thailand.
These add-ons merely improve the aesthetics of the sedan, as the P10A2 1.0 litre turbocharged three-cylinder engine continues to make 122 PS and 173 Nm of torque, driving the front wheels via a continuously variable transmission (CVT) with seven virtual speeds. The mill features VTEC on the intake side of the engine, and differs from the L15B7 1.5 litre turbo unit used in the Civic that uses Variable Timing Control (VTC) on both the intake and exhaust.

3rd option, “Ah Beng” look.
With this Honda City AhBeng owners can proudly say they got NSX or Civic Type R. Hahahaha
City “Type-R”. Sorry, no place to race while MCO
The car itself is already looking mediocre, with those kits, it’s just adding some ego to those already egocentric syiok sendiri honda drivers, honda cars these days are merely just cars with fast engine with bad bad chassis engineering, even Perodua addresses this problem by adding stabilizer to improve highway stability, time to honda to improve their quality of cars too not just engines
Meanwhile,elsewhere in the world; cutting Co2 emission, electrification..etc is being implemented..
like ALMERA & VIOS
dislike CITY
Vios I can accept, but Almera?? Good grief
People will no rather buy Honda because of quality and aftersales is very cheapskate. This City Turbo definitely no AEB, no land departure warning, no blind spot monitor and etc. Rather buy other b segment car that has more safety features and more reliable
I’ve come across this a lot “Land Departure” , can it fly ? Shouldn’t it be LANE Departure instead !!!
Wait till you go through the experience of servicing the car.Good luck.
Other than marketing it also indicates “design-potential” do not see anything wrong with that anyway the article refers to Thailand. Importantly there must be the freedom to choose
Finally, Ah Beng wet dream
Holy cow! This is damn ugly!
So fast newly launched Honda City desperate to starve of gameover by piling on hideous bodykits, trembling in fear of Proton X50 arrival. No matter, it will still gameover by Proton’s gamechanger car eventually.
Don’t waste time
city, jazz, crx and ex5 owner be like; vtec kick in yo…….
even without all these bodykit, it will beat all Proton and Perodua in a drag race. also it will easily smoke the vios and almera. the engine with only 1.0 has the power of a 1.8. in a few years time, Honda can even squeeze out power from a 1.0 to match a 2.5. it’s just a matter of time. mostly people are jealous that their cars are smoked by Hondas and they cannot afford it.
Reliability – Ungraded
Safety – Ungraded
Performance – F Grade
Look – E Grade
Money – Grade D
But some bored Honda fans are getting more fear about Honda sales are dropping. So they come here and talk badmouth about their rivals competitors. Well, what more to say. But in the end, they will buy other reliable brands instead of buying this Honda, as said by experts
No doubt at all this is Honda’s “Power of Syoik Sendiri”

It’s like telling the whole world -“Look at me, I cant afford NSX and/or civic type-R”
