During a frontal collision, when the sensors detect an impact that exceeds a preset threshold, the airbags are instantly deployed and then gradually deflated to reduce head and chest injuries. At the same time, when seatbelt load exceeds a certain preset threshold, the 3-point ELR front seatbelts with load-limiting pretensioner immediately rewind and tighten, then loosen again to reduce chest and shoulder injuries.

systems work to prevent wheel lock in an emergency braking situation or when braking on slippery road surfaces. ABS stabilizes the vehicle while braking so the driver can better control it and avoid obstacles ahead. The Brake Assist system helps the driver when braking, leading to increased brake force in emergency situations.

Honda's unique G-Force Control Technology controls impact energy (G-CON) in the event of a collision and limits injuries. Honda has enhanced collision safety through real-world collision safety research, including car-to-car crash testing at the world's first indoor Omni directional crash test safety facility.

To protect occupants in case of a collision, Honda has worked to enhance self-protection while striving to reduce damage to the other vehicle involved.

AT with Paddle Shift The unique Paddle Shift gear option allows you to switch gears without using the clutch pedal. The 5AT (Automatic Transmission) allow you to change gear ratios automatically-freeing you from having to shift gears manually. The right paddle is for shifting up while the left paddle is for shifting down, which is the same as for an F1 machine. In D-range mode, the driver can shift up and down by using the paddles, while automatically returning to normal AT driving mode when a sensor determines the car is cruising. On the other hand, in S-range, the mode does not revert automatically to AT driving mode, which allows the driver to enjoy a manual transmission-like driving feel.

Manual TransmissionThe All New City boasts of a smoother wire type manual transmission gear shift with hydraulic clutch. As compared to a rod type, wire type operating system makes for a much smoother gear shift. The gear shift has good moderate stiffness, and thanks to a shortening of the sleeve stroke of the synchronizer, is also much lighter. What's more, the clutch utilizes hydraulic pressure to reduce the force needed during operation and to provide a fatigue-free driving experience.

Front Suspension- Mc Pherson strut An optimised compliance bush placement with a larger capacity makes lower bush springs possible to provide a supple riding feel.

Rear Suspension: H-Shaped Torsion BeamA reduced spring lever ratio and increased trailing arm bush capacity provide more supple riding comfort.
