Honda City Facelift – Features, Powertrain, Design and Pricing

The Honda City has been one of the most popular sedans in India ever since it was first launched in 1998. Performance, reliability, and sophistication – every generation of the Honda City has been a great package. However, ever since the SUV craze has taken over the market, the sedans have slowly been shadowed. But Honda has taken a step to bring the glory back to sedans, as it will soon introduce the facelift of the Honda City on May 22! So, how does the City facelift differ from the existing model? Let’s take a look!

Honda City Old Vs New – Design 

Being a facelift, the major difference is the design. The City facelift gets a much sharper design when compared to the existing model. Honda has offered a set of brand-new headlights with an aggressive design, along with a DRL on the front grille. The grille is quite different from the existing one, and Honda has given the City a sportier appearance with an angular front bumper and splitter. The front-end of the City facelift has a very sporty design, which adds more character to the sedan. Down the side, not much has changed, apart from the wheels, adding more oomph to the side profile.

Moving on to the rear, you’ll see subtle differences when compared to the existing model. While the overall design of the taillight is similar to that of the current model, the taillights now get a smoked effect, and the brake light is now transparent, instead of having a red tint. The rear bumper has also been revised and now has rear fog reflectors, allowing for better visibility. We believe that Honda has done an excellent job with the design and will surely appeal to many sedan fans. To conclude, the City facelift has received significant changes, and the design works really well for the sedan.

Features

One of the key reasons the Honda City was lagging behind was its primitive list of features. However, the facelift has fixed this concern. Unlike before, Honda has now offered a 360-degree camera with the City, allowing for better all-around visibility. Moreover, the City facelift now gets ventilated front seats, a 10.1-inch touchscreen, level 2 ADAS, and much more.

Honda City Old Vs New – What Else?

While Honda has updated the City significantly in cosmetic and feature terms, the engine has been left untouched. The City facelift gets the same 1.5-litre NA petrol engine producing 119 bhp and 145Nm of torque, along with either a 6-speed gearbox or a 7-speed DCT. This means that the fun-to-drive experience of the City will remain as it is, and the thrilling V-TEC will still be kicking in! That said, the Honda City facelift carries a price tag ranging from Rs 14.26 lakh to Rs 20.32 lakh (on-road, Mumbai).
