The City hatchback will reportedly be offered as a replacement of the 4th gen Honda Jazz/ Fit in the Asian region. The new Jazz was being criticized for its rather sedate styling while the City nameplate being more popular in this region will have a better chance to give Honda an edge over its rivals with a same car in sedan & hatchback configurations just like Toyota does with Yaris sedan & hatchback.
