The new 2023 Honda City facelift has been launched in India at a starting price of Rs 11.49 lakh, ex-showroom. It gets a bunch of new features, mechanical & cosmetic enhancements and more.

In terms of design, the facelifted Honda City doesn’t get many changes. It sports a nip and tuck with a spruced-up chrome grille, re-designed front & rear bumpers and new 16-inch alloy wheels.
-
Honda has updated the City’s LED taillamps and this sedan is now offered in a new Obsidian Blue Pearl paint scheme as well. With this addition, there are a total of six colour variants on offer.

Just like the exterior, there are minimal changes in the facelifted City’s interior. The upholstery remains the same as before. However, it gets new features such as ambient lighting, a wireless charger, rain-sensing wipers and wireless Apple CarPlay & Android Auto.
-
The City now gets ADAS in the regular petrol variants too. Earlier, it was only available with the hybrid model. It’s worth noting that apart from the base variant, Honda is offering ADAS in all the variants of the City, including manual transmission ones.

Honda’s ADAS suite includes adaptive cruise control, lane keep assist, lead car departure notification, road departure mitigation system and auto high-beam. There’s also a new low-speed follow function in the City e:HEV.

Mechanically, the new City remains unchanged but is now RDE compliant and can run on E20 fuel as well. Also, the diesel mill has been discontinued. It is powered by a 1.5-litre petrol engine and the City e:HEV gets the 1.5-litre Atkinson cycle petrol hybrid unit that comes coupled with two electric motors.
-
The 2023 Honda City facelift is priced from Rs 11.49 lakh to Rs 15.97 lakh while the City e:HEV is priced from Rs 18.89 lakh to Rs 20.39 lakh, ex-showroom. It will rival the new-gen Hyundai Verna, Skoda Slavia, Volkswagen Virtus and Maruti Suzuki Ciaz.
