Honda’s giving the City a stylish refresh with a new limited-edition model called the Honda City Drival. This slick hatchback, exclusive to Asian markets, builds on the e:HEV RS trim and cranks up the sportiness. It comes dressed in Pearl White with bold gloss black accents and a body kit that means business—think front splitter, side skirts, rear bumper extension with a diffuser, and a massive rear wing that’s hard to miss.

To complete the look, the Drival rolls on a fresh set of 16-inch alloy wheels. Step inside, and the cabin keeps the sporty vibe going with black upholstery, red accents, and contrast stitching.

Also inside, the new Honda City Drival packs an 8-inch infotainment display, a 7-inch digital instrument cluster, an eight-speaker sound system, and automatic climate control. It’s also got Honda’s ADAS tech on deck, including lane-keeping assist and adaptive cruise control—features that are pretty much expected these days.

Under the hood, nothing’s changed from the e:HEV RS. It’s still rocking the hybrid setup with a 1.5-liter engine pushing out 97 hp (72 kW), paired with an electric motor making 108 hp (80 kW). Power goes to the front wheels through an e-CVT, so it’s all about smoothness and efficiency.

The Honda City Drival Edition starts at ฿829,000 ($24,400) in Thailand, making it the priciest option in the lineup. For context, the base City S+ starts at ฿599,000 ($17,600), and the range-topping City e:HEV RS sits at ฿799,000 ($23,500).
