As confirmed with dealer sources, Honda has discontinued the earlier base ‘S’ variant, as a result, the car is now only available from the ‘SV’ variant which is priced at Rs 9.7 lakh (ex-showroom). Taking down the ‘S’ variant means that Honda City will be slightly costlier to buy and ‘SV’ variant will serve as the entry-level trim. The top-spec ZX CVT petrol is now priced at Rs 14.11 lakh (ex-showroom), while the ZX MT petrol now stands at Rs 12.81 lakh (ex-showroom).
