The 2023 Honda City facelift is here! Take a look at the latest updates and features of this mid-size sedan
Honda City has been dominating the sedan segment in India for the last 25 years. Now, it's time for the City's 5th Gen to get a facelift
Hyundai is planning to launch the new Verna with more power and features and Honda is gearing up for the competition by introducing a facelift for the City, adding some nifty features in the mix
The new City facelift 2023 model is priced from Rs 11.49 lakh (ex-showroom) for the base petrol MT variant, while the top-of-the-line City hybrid variant is priced at Rs 20.39 lakh (ex-showroom). The new City is up to Rs 35,000 more expensive than before
The new Honda City facelift gets subtle changes compared to the previous model. With the City facelift, the main change is in its front bumper. Additionally, there are a few faux carbon fiber bits that are used in front and rear bumpers
The front bumper gets a slightly more aggressive stance. However, the chrome belt above the bumper is slightly smaller, which adds to the sportiness. Honda City now gets a mesh-type grille instead of the horizontal elements in the outgoing model
The primary changes have been introduced in Honda City's feature list. Honda has added its Sensing Suite of camera-based ADAS tech. It now offers automatic emergency braking, lane change assist, adaptive cruise control, blindspot monitoring, and more
Honda City won't be getting any diesel powertrains. The car gets a 1.5-liter petrol motor making 118 bhp of power and 145 Nm of torque, mated to either a 6-speed manual or a CVT. There's also a strong hybrid option, which offers a mileage of more than 26 kmpl
The 2023 Honda City has many rivals including the upcoming Hyundai Verna, Maruti Suzuki Ciaz, Skoda Slavia, and Volkswagen Virtus. The new models and renewed competition may spike sales for the sedan segment, which has been trailing behind SUVs and hatchbacks
