Looks
Honda has given the City a more sporty look with the facelift. It now gets sportier front and rear bumpers. The headlights integrated into the front grille, along with the connected DRLs, make it look sharper. The smoked-out taillights and diamond-cut alloys further enhance its sportiness. The Volkswagen Virtus is the segment leader, and Honda seems to copy VW’s recipe with the facelift. It is also the longest sedan in the segment, ousting the Virtus, Slavia and Verna.
