Sao Paulo, Brazil -- Honda Automoveis do Brasil, Honda’s Brazilian automobile production and sales subsidiary, began sales of the Honda City FFV (Fuel Flexible Vehicle). Honda is planning to begin export of this model to Mexico and other countries of Central and South America beginning in September 2009.
City became the third model produced locally in Brazil following the Civic and Fit whose production began in 1997 and 2003, respectively.
Scary pricing in Brazil
The price of the City FFV starts at $29,700 USD! Honda plans to sell 17,000 units in 2009.
The City FFV was developed based on the third-generation City, which is currently being sold in Thailand and other countries, adapting some specifications to accommodate specific needs in the Brazilian market. The design of the City is based on the total pursuit of a vehicle with road presence within a compact, yet dynamic form. In addition, class-leading interior space was achieved to create a cabin that surrounds the occupants with an open and secure feeling. The City is equipped with a standard 1.5-liter i-VTEC engine with FFV capability.
There are currently no plans to introduce the City into the US or Canadian market.
Honda City was first introduced in Thailand in 1996. Cumulative sales of the City now exceed 1.2 million units in over 45 countries around the world.
