As subject, a new 5 door Honda City is to replace the Jazz in the Thailand market.

The hatchback bodystyle was last used in the Honda City 26 years ago, so in a way, it closes the circle back to the original (AA) Honda Jazz.

I bought a 8G Civic because the footprint suited my needs as did my previous IS200 and Xantias. I had 2 of those then bought the 9G which was larger but just OK for garage parking. The latest 10G Civic wasn't a Civic in my book but a replacement Accord as it was considerably larger. The upcoming 2022 Civic is even bigger.
This is why I'm seriously looking at a CrossStar for next year because it's back to the footprint I like.
This Fit replacement looks good as a Fit replacement.

Cant see Honda bringing this one to UK at £15k, like its design though & proper has 1.0l petrol engine

It's even got a hand brake! All the photos show only two pedals though. Perhaps Honda should import a more basic car, not all of us want complexity. :D
The Thai photos are a bit retro with their use of female models. Reminds of Ford Capri adverts and the like.
-
I'm not keen on the handbrake switch either but then I've never used one.
Friend has the latest 10G Civic with the switch, brake hold, etc and he likes it. As long as I can stop at lights and junctions and not have permanent brake lights when stopped then fine, I'll get used to it.

Most likely this car is not fulfilling ridiculous European legal requirements regarding emissions and so called safety systems, and therefore cannot be imported here.

I'm sure I could get used to it, but the unnecessary problems and expense these systems cause once a car gets to a few years old and with some proper mileage under their belts is something I want to avoid. I tend to buy cars that are many years old, so its purely self interest I suppose. :) Mind you, I still file them under solving problems that don't exist. Like keyless entry and autonomous braking etc etc etc. >:(

My main vehicle has electric handbrake, you soon get used to the automatic release - and no clutch slipping at uphill junctions.
-
What's a clutch ;D ;D
Been buying auto's since 1977, love them.

It takes a few minutes to get used to the electric parking brake but after that any worries disappear. I first had one on my HR-V and while that vehicle (fortunately not mine in particular) had more than its fair share of troubles, the electric parking brake never featured on peoples' lists of problems.
-
It's very difficult to make handbrake turn with electric handbrake... ;D
-
I had reply from Honda , there are no plans to introduce the City to UK....no surprise there then.
-
Quite often manufacturers produce vehicles for other countries that are a bit short on features.
We in the UK like our toys and our safety laws are strict. It wouldn't surprise me if this model was not up to UK standards, but I'm only guessing.

Remember also that Honda has announced that all new products for the European market will be either hybrid or full EV.

That's what I was thinking, it looks like a replacement for 'less developed' markets.

That is exactly what I meant with "not fulfilling ridiculous European legal requirements regarding emissions". It's the reason, why some Japanese manufacturers have announced, that they will not make cars to European markets anymore in future, e.g. Nissan and Mitsubishi.

Honda has (or had) a small car known os Honda Brio for the less affluent Asian market, the Brio is smaller than a Jazz, bigger than the Japanese Kei cars

Another nice little car not imported into the UK but which would match my motoring needs and probable many others on the forum
