Honda City Features

Honda gives its fifth-gen City more arsenal with features from the strong hybrid version. We get behind the wheel.

The battle of the compact sedans was certain when a new generation of the benchmark car arrives. But the Honda City has lost its grip on the segment off late, so does the legacy car have enough to beat the reigning champ Hyundai Verna?

It is the new generation Honda City compact sedan, and it does not get bigger than this. Trifle-delayed yet raring to go, we test it in three variants, to tell you all the good and bad bits of this all-important model.

Here is our first drive review of the 2017 Honda City facelift

Honda has launched the diesel variant of its most successful car, the City. The new City has a .5 litre i-DTEC diesel engine, with a 6-speed manual gearbox that generates 99bhp@3,600rpm and generates a torque of 200Nm. The inside too has undergone a complete makeover. The new City is definitely Honda's way of making its versatility known.
