Honda Cars India has rolled out the updated version of the Honda City with fresh styling, a larger infotainment screen, added safety technology, and cosmetic upgrades aimed at taking on rivals in the midsize sedan segment. The facelifted sedan starts at Rs 12 lakh (ex-showroom), while the top-end version goes up to Rs 21 lakh (ex-showroom).
The updated model comes as competition heats up between sedans like the Hyundai Verna, Skoda Slavia, and Volkswagen Virtus in the Indian market.
The facelift continues with Ivory-themed interiors and improved airflow inside the cabin. Honda says these changes are aimed at making the experience more comfortable for occupants during long drives and city commutes.
Honda has also added newly designed 16-inch alloy wheels with a black finish. The diamond-cut design gives the sedan a sportier appearance compared to the outgoing version.
The safety list also includes rain-sensing wipers, a 360-degree camera setup, and multiple airbags. Honda has also made bi-LED projector headlamps standard across all variants. The headlamps are connected through LED DRLs, giving the front section a redesigned look.
The company has also continued with the hybrid powertrain option, which remains one of the key highlights of the sedan. Honda claims the hybrid version delivers a mileage of 27.26 kmpl, which it says is the highest in the segment.
With the refreshed fascia, connected LED DRLs, black-finished alloy wheels, and updated cabin features, Honda appears to be positioning the City facelift as a more tech-focused and premium offering in the midsize sedan market.
