About this model

The Honda Logo is a supermini car (B-segment) which was made by Honda from 1996 to 2001. It is a three- or five-door hatchback that replaced the second-generation City and was then superseded by the Fit/Jazz. It slotted between the smaller kei-class Life and the larger Civic in Honda's range of the era. The Honda Capa and Honda HR-V were developed from the Logo's platform.
