Honda city 2017 facelift @Rs 8.5 lacs

The fourth generation City gets its first major upgrade in four years

Honda's C-segment stalwart has a fresh new face and a slew of updates. The facelift of the fourth-generation City has been officially launched in India with prices starting at Rs 8.50 lakh for base-spec petrol, going all the way up to Rs 13.57 lakh for the top-spec diesel. Here's a detailed variant-wise pricing break-up (all prices ex-showroom Delhi): 

Petrol

• S MT – Rs. 8.50 lakh

• SV MT – Rs. 9.54 lakh

• V MT – Rs. 10.00 lakh

• VX MT – Rs. 11.65 lakh

• V CVT – Rs. 11.54 lakh

• VX CVT – Rs. 12.85 lakh

• ZX CVT – Rs. 13.53 lakh

Diesel

• SV MT – Rs. 10.76 lakh

• V MT – Rs. 11.56 lakh

• VX MT – Rs. 12.87 lakh

• ZX MT – Rs. 13.57 lakh

Mechanically, the City remains unchanged, carrying over the 1.5-litre i-VTEC petrol motor, and the 1.5-litre i-DTEC diesel. The petrol is available with a 5-speed manual (and not a six-speed as in the BR-V) or a 7-speed CVT (only in V,VX and ZX), whereas the diesel gets the good old 6-speed stick shifter. The output from both engines have remained unchanged at 119PS/145Nm (petrol) and 100PS/200Nm (diesel), but ARAI-certified fuel efficiency has gone down by 0.4kmpl, to 17.4kmpl (petrol) and 25.4kmpl (diesel). Notably, the efficiency for the petrol-automatic has remained unchanged at 18kmpl. Honda is also offering a 3 year/unlimited kilometres warranty as standard. 

WHAT'S NEW ??

Honda has also added a new 'Modern Steel Metallic' (Dark Grey) shade, that you see in the pictures over the usual White Orchid Pearl, Alabaster Silver Metallic, Carnelian Red Pearl, and Golden Brown Metallic.

There are LED everywhere- foglamps,taillamps,headlamps even the Cabin Lights. Aesthetically, the City retains its 'arrow-shot' design theme.

Added goodies include a 7.0-inch touchscreen infotainment system with MirrorLink , and a one-touch function for opening/closing the sunroof. It carries over its bag of tricks that includes the touchscreen for the automatic climate control, steering-mounted audio and telephony controls, cruise control, and power-folding mirrors. This is besides the de rigueur convenience features that include tilt and telescopic adjust for the steering, a height-adjustable driver seat and keyless entry/go.
