The Honda Logo is a supermini manufactured and marketed by Honda from 1996-2001 as a three-door and five-door hatchback, sharing its platform with the Honda Capa and replacing the second generation Honda City.
The Logo was larger than the kei class Honda Life, smaller than the subcompact Honda Civic, and was superseded by the Honda Fit.
It was marketed in Japan as Honda Clio and in the United Kingdom from 2000-2001.
The Logo was an effort by Honda to repeat the success of the Civic, with its length. width and engine size almost matching the first generation Civic.[1]
Mechanicals
The Logo used the D13B, initially using 2 valves per cylinder, subsequently upgraded to 4 valves. A CVT transmission was offered.
The engine provided 66 horsepower.[2]
Minor changes in later grades sport "TS", 16-valve type specification in D13B (SOHC 1.3L PGM-spec FI: 91PS 11.6kgf · m) were also later introduced. Transmissions included, 5-speed manual transmission, 3-speed automatic transmission and the CVT, marketed as "Honda Multimatic."
Sales
In Japan, the Logo succeeded the Second Generation Honda City series GA1 and 2.
The CVT transmission and the introduction of the engine due to the ease of handling high torque at low and medium engine speeds, the power performance of the region dominated by what was practical. However, to ride in town didn't focus on younger buyers, and the handling requests from younger drivers was overlooked towards practical and economical goals.[citation needed]
Two models were derived using the platforms and components. The Honda Capa, and the Honda HR-V which had much more emphasis on a youthful approach, but the Logo was meant to remain practical and economical and sales reflected the modest intent of the Logo, and the car didn't sell as well as hoped. From the lessons learned in response to the Logo's lack of market acceptance, the next generation Honda Fit renewed the basic concepts being fun to drive, and less so on making an economical and practical car.
In Europe, sales were not particularly strong, but the car did come top of a customer satisfaction survey in December 2001.[3]
