About the Honda City

All Feels. All New. All Vibe.

The Honda City has been the benchmark premium sedan in India for over two decades, and this facelift of the fifth generation keeps it relevant with a bolder Blade-Eye LED design, a larger 25.6 cm touchscreen and the addition of Honda SENSING Level-2 ADAS lower down the range.

NCAP 5★

The City remains Honda's bread-and-butter win: a refined 1.5L petrol with proven reliability, real efficiency gains from the hybrid option, and crucially, Level-2 ADAS available from the affordable V trim—not locked behind the top variant. At ₹12 lakh for the base and strong feature depth in higher trims, it punches well above its weight in comfort and tech, though the lack of crash-test validation and the hybrid's premium pricing are genuine trade-offs.

Stands out

  • e:HEV hybrid achieves genuine 27.26 kmpl with smooth, responsive acceleration
  • Honda SENSING Level-2 ADAS available from affordable V trim, not just flagship
  • 6 airbags and Vehicle Stability Assist standard across entire range
  • Best-in-class rear legroom: 506L boot and 2600mm wheelbase for under ₹13L
  • Top trim rivals premium-segment features: ventilated seats, sunroof, 360 camera
  • Refined i-VTEC petrol with smooth CVT and paddle shifters feel premium

!Gives us pause

  • No diesel option limits appeal for long-distance commuters seeking fuel economy
  • e:HEV hybrid priced at ₹21 lakh—significantly higher than petrol variants
  • Base SV omits Honda SENSING, alloy wheels, and larger touchscreen
  • No Bharat or Global NCAP crash-test rating yet to validate safety claims
  • Wireless charging on petrol models requires dealer-fitted aftermarket installation
