Honda Cars India is gearing up to launch an updated version of its popular sedan Honda City, which is slated to receive a facelift on May 22. With this update, Honda will look to strengthen the City’s position in the competitive segment, where it faces rivals like the Volkswagen Virtus and Hyundai Verna. This will be the second update for the current generation model and is expected to bring a mix of subtle design tweaks and feature additions.
Honda City Facelift Launching Soon: What to Expect
From the outside, changes are likely to be evolutionary rather than drastic. You can expect minor modifications to the headlamps and tail lamps, along with redesigned bumpers and a new set of alloy wheels. The sedan is expected to remain unchanged overall.
Inside the cabin is where most of the updates are likely to arrive. The facelifted model may get a larger touchscreen infotainment system with a fully digital instrument cluster. Features like a powered driver’s seat and ventilated front seats are also expected to be added/it could also get a 360-degree camera and updated ADAS features, along with new upholstery to freshen up the interior.Under the hood, the city is expected to see no changes. It will continue with the 1.5-litre naturally aspirated petrol engine that produces 119 bhp and 145 Nm, mated to either a 6-speed manual or a CVT. A stronger hybrid version will also continue, offering a combined output of 124 bhp with the e-CVT setup.
