When it comes to Honda's sports model, I believe that everyone is most familiar with the suffixes such as "Si" and "Type-R", but there is also a nameplate that often appears on Honda models - RS, and it can also give people a feeling of sports blessing.
For example, Honda's new CITY HATCHBACK RS hybrid version model, which has been listed first in overseas markets, is priced at about 163,600 yuan.
Just look at the new car shape everyone may be unfamiliar, but in fact, Honda CITY is the domestic front, but the domestic market only has a sedan version of the model, and there is a hatchback version of the hatchback version abroad. It is reported that the car shares the platform with the fourth generation Fit.
In terms of appearance, the new car has been updated to the style of the latest Honda family, and the overall appearance is similar to the Honda Civic. Since this is an RS version of the model, the new car also added an exclusive "RS" LOGO to the grille, and blackened several places to make it look more sporty.
In terms of size, the length, width and height of the car are 4345/1748/1488 mm, the wheelbase is 2589 mm, and the overall body size is above the current fit, after all, the car is also a compact positioning in China.
In terms of interior, the new car basically continues the relatively simple and home design style of the Honda family, using a built-in central control screen design.
However, as a special edition model, the car is still relatively rich in configuration, equipped with adaptive cruise, automatic emergency braking, LED headlights/taillights, automatic air conditioning and so on.
In terms of power, the new car is equipped with a 1.5-liter hybrid system, in which the maximum power of the engine is 72 kW and the peak torque is 127 Nm.
At the same time, the maximum power of the electric motor is 80 kW, the peak torque is 253 Nm, and the drivetrain is matched with the E-CVT transmission. It is reported that the car's zero hundred acceleration is about 9 seconds.
Although the car is a compact model, from the perspective of the size performance of the car, the competitors are nissan Versa, Toyota Vios and other small cars.

Perhaps seeing that the car not only added the exclusive LOGO of "RS", the new car also carried out more sporty upgrades, everyone will think that this is a sports version of the model, but in fact, the "RS" in Honda's interpretation is Road Sailing (similar to road cruise).
To know that Honda's "RS" logo has appeared since the first generation of Civic, the second appearance is in 2007 when the second generation of Civic was released, in short, "RS" is a high-end version of ordinary manual models, not a sports version.
However, as more and more exclusive LOGOs gradually become the embodiment of the sports version, Honda naturally integrates the high-end model with the sports version to further enhance the personalization of the model.
