BHPian ![]() | ![]() I'm not too excited about this. The wheels look way too small and there seems to be a lot of wasted overhang at the from and rear. The current-gen facelifted City looks a lot sportier. This looks like a boring sedan. A luxurious one, but still boring. |

| ![]() Even I feel the same. The car has become lengthier, but it has lost its charm according to me. IMO, this now resembles more of a scaled up amaze and not the gorgeous City it used to be. |

| ![]() Honda's are still coming up with 1.5L I-VTEC and I-DTEC but compatible to the BSVI norms. RS Turbo (1.0L) may or may not be introduced in India. Its still a suspense. It might also wear a Mild-Hybrid badge on its body. Upon launch, the fifth-gen City will continue its rivalry with the upcoming Hyundai Verna Facelift, Skoda Rapid, Volkswagen Vento, Toyota Yaris and Maruti Suzuki Ciaz. |

-Access-exit from the rear pair of doors Made it a little more convenient than before Because the entrance-exit is wider than the 4th generation, How is the seat on the new City's back seat? Quote:

BHPian ![]() | ![]() Design Review: Upcoming Honda City design is more mature, sub-dued compared to the current gen. It won't offend anyone. Designers have done an excellent job with the clean lines and conventional looks which matches the tastes of today's sedan buyers (middle-aged mature family persons to retired-but-active age groups). So all the ex-OHC owners, will be disappointed, City is no longer made for them. Only exception to the otherwise pleasing design is the frontal design - looks like a swollen upper lip and a weirdly bulged nose. But I get it, it is "family look" and city's designers have no choice but to adopt it. Overall, happy with the way City's next gen is coming up. It is extremely late to refresh the product, but not as late as VW. Sedans are on a steady decline. I don't think this iteration of City can change it. So, Honda has decided to go with the flow and have not tried to be radical or path-breaking. They are not setting new benchmarks, pushing the tech innovation etc. They are just giving you a sensible car at a sensible (I hope) price. |

| ![]() This looks like a Yaris from the back. The tail lamp design in the new City seems damage-prone. |

| ![]() As usual, it looks “under-tyred”. Its high time Honda provides at least a 195/55R16 by default. Also, referring to the Thai City pictures, the cup holder between the front seats seems to intrude excessively into the leg-space of the middle passenger in the rear, and seems to mimic the same ergonomic flaw that plagues the Yaris.

| ![]() I think the design is mature, quality is supposed to be good and if it launches in a proper Camry style hybrid it would be good. But 2 things that bother me personally is the increase in dimensions. At 4545 mm in length it is longer than my CRV and I think that is not the ideal size of a "CITY" car and secondly the price. Knowing the people at Honda they will charge a lac premium over the current pricing and that means it will kill the civic instantly and also be too pricey in my opinion. Don't understand Honda's plan. |
