Honda City Specs, Engines & Dimensions (1981–1986) — First Generation
The first generation Honda City is a compact three-door hatchback built around a tall, upright cabin. Its small footprint and clever packaging made it easy to park while still carrying four people comfortably.
Every Honda City engine in this generation runs on gasoline, using small-displacement four-cylinder units tuned for city driving rather than outright speed. The light body means modest power still feels lively, and the front-wheel-drive layout keeps the drivetrain compact. Manual transmissions dominate, with automatic options offered on some versions.
