When the Honda City first came to India in 1998, it began to slowly build a legacy in the subcontinent's mid-size sedan segment. To keep up with evolving trends, the Japanese manufacturer kept releasing one model of the Honda City after another, ensuring it stayed relevant in every era. At first, it debuted as a compact sedan, but now it has become a more premium and confident offering. While it's not one of the best-selling cars in India, it is no doubt among the country's best-selling sedans, with 25% of its global sales coming from the subcontinent.
Our Senior Editor Shams Raza Naqvi reviewed the Honda City facelift a few years back; you can check out the video on our car&bike YouTube channel. We also published some extra reviews on the website, such as Girish Karkera’s piece on the Honda City’s 2023 facelift, and another article by Subham Parashar comparing the city with its closest competitors. We have mentioned snippets from these experts throughout this article.
The car&bike team's reviews mostly refer to the Honda City's fifth generation, which has undergone significant enhancements from a sporty mesh grille to Level 2 ADAS technology. Honda also currently sells two engine setups for the car, and both are solid offerings that satisfy the overall driving experience.

As Shams elaborates,
“India's love story with the Honda City continues through multiple generations and facelifts.”
