New Honda City : Honda’s City sedan enters 2025 with fresh pricing perks from GST cuts and a sporty edition that’s turning heads among families seeking reliable rides.
The compact remains a bestseller despite SUV dominance, thanks to its spacious cabin and smooth drive.
Recent updates keep it competitive, blending premium feels with everyday practicality at prices starting under Rs 12 lakh ex-showroom.
Bold Styling Gets Sportier Edge
The 2025 City sticks to its elegant lines but amps up appeal with the new Sport variant, featuring blacked-out accents, grey alloys, and red cabin stitching for a dynamic vibe.
Standard models boast LED headlamps, slim DRLs, and a honeycomb grille that looks sharp without overdoing it.

Rear wraparound LEDs and a subtle boot spoiler add poise, available in standout shades like Radiant Red and Obsidian Blue Pearl.
Build quality shines through, with solid panel gaps and a premium stance that rivals pricier sedans.

Power and Efficiency for All Drives
Under the hood, a 1.5-litre i-VTEC petrol churns 121 PS and 145 Nm, paired with a slick 6-speed manual or CVT auto.
Claimed mileage hits 17.8 kmpl (MT) to 18.4 kmpl (CVT), with real-world city runs around 13-14 kmpl and highways pushing 18 kmpl.
The hybrid e:HEV option, exclusive to top trims, combines the same engine with twin motors for 126 PS total and a stellar 27.13 kmpl ARAI figure—perfect for fuel-squeezed urbanites.
No turbo punch like Verna, but the rev-happy nature makes overtakes fun without drama.
Spacious Cabin Feels Premium
Slide inside, and the dual-tone black-beige interior wraps you in soft-touch materials that scream quality over rivals.
Front seats offer height adjustment and good bolstering; rear kneeroom rivals bigger cars, though headroom pinches for six-footers.
A massive 506-litre boot swallows weekend luggage effortlessly, with deep shaping for easy stacking. Storage abounds—phone slots, cup holders, and door pockets keep clutter at bay.
Tech and Safety Lead the Pack
An 8-inch touchscreen handles wireless Android Auto/Apple CarPlay smoothly, backed by a 7-inch digital driver display and crisp LaneWatch camera for blind-spot checks.
Higher trims add sunroof, wireless charging, ambient lighting, and Alexa integration for remote AC starts.

Safety shines with 6 airbags, ESC, TPMS, and Honda Sensing ADAS—adaptive cruise, lane-keep, and auto braking work reliably, even in low light. Rear vents and auto AC ensure comfort on long hauls.
Priced Right After Recent Tweaks
Ex-showroom tags now start at Rs 11.95 lakh for base SV MT, climbing to Rs 16.07 lakh for ZX CVT, with GST 2.0 slashing up to Rs 57,500 off.
Sport edition at Rs 14.38 lakh adds flair without breaking bank; on-road Delhi figures hover Rs 13-19 lakh.
Hybrid ZX e:HEV commands Rs 19.5-20.5 lakh but justifies with epic efficiency. Diwali deals sweetened ownership further, undercutting Verna or Virtus on value.
Ride That Handles City Chaos
Suspension soaks potholes silently at low speeds, staying composed over undulations at 100 kmph. Light, precise steering makes weaving through traffic a breeze, with agile cornering that feels engaging yet safe.
CVT keeps shifts seamless for relaxed cruising; MT suits enthusiasts with its short throws. Noise creeps in under hard revs, but overall refinement beats most in class.
New Honda City Why It Stands Tall in 2025
Facing SUV fever, the City counters with sedan perks—better mileage, lower costs, and that rear legroom families crave.
A 2026 facelift looms with grille tweaks and possible 360-camera, but current stock delivers now with one-month waits.
Service networks and reliability keep running costs low at Rs 0.3-0.4 per km.
