The integration of Honda Sensing is set to make journeys in the new City Hatchback safer and more enjoyable. Honda Sensing, a driver-assist system, aligns with Honda's vision of achieving a collision-free society by 2050, ensuring safer roads for all. The system includes lead car departure notification, which alerts the driver when the vehicle in front starts moving. Adaptive cruise control maintains a set speed and distance from the car ahead, making highway driving less stressful. The collision mitigation braking system helps prevent or reduce the severity of a frontal collision. The lane keep assist system and road departure mitigation and lane departure warning help keep the vehicle centered in its lane. Finally, the auto high beam system automatically switches between high and low beams depending on the driving conditions.

For added safety and convenience, the new City Hatchback includes a walk away auto door lock, which automatically locks the doors when the driver moves away from the vehicle with the key. The car is also equipped with six airbags, ensuring maximum protection for all occupants in the event of a collision.
