The first Honda City (AA for sedans, VF for vans and FA for the wider Turbo II and Cabriolets) was created in November 1981 with the impressive "Tallboy" design; of unconventional height it enabled four adults to match comfortably in the very short City (under 3.4 m or 11.2 feet). Produced as a 3-door hatchback in a number of trim levels, the town was available together with the Motocompo also, a special 50cc 'foldaway' scooter designed to fit in the City's small baggage area. During its advantages, it was Honda's smallest car, without being in compliance with Japanese Federal government kei regulations. It was longer than the Honda N360 by 383 millimetres (15.1 in), but shorter than the Honda Civic first technology by 171 millimetres (6.7 in).
In September 1982 the Honda City Turbo was presented. It was powered by the turbocharged version of the 1231 cc Honda ER engine. A Pininfarina designed drop-top Cabriolet used the wider fenders and bigger bumpers of the Turbo II "Bulldog", but was only normally available with the in a natural way aspirated 67 PS (49 kW) engine motor. There was also a Pro-series of van types with either two or four chairs. A high-roof "R Manhattan Roof" version with a 10 cm taller roof also appeared.
Exports of the City were primarily to Europe (where it was renamed Honda Jazz, credited to Opel having trademarked the City name), Australia (in two-seater 'van' form, to circumvent Australian transfer restrictions on traveler vehicles at the time) and New Zealand (where it was locally built). Production ended in late 1986 with the launch of the GA type City.
