Honda Cars India has started accepting bookings for the new-gen City ahead of its launch in the coming month. The production of this fifth-generation sedan is already underway at the carmaker's Greater Noida plant with the commencement of dealer dispatches as well. The official images of the car give us a fair idea about what's new in the sedan. Let’s take a look at its picture gallery.
With a new face, the car gets full LED headlamps that come with a nine LED array inline shell. It's integrated with LED DRLs and L-shaped LED turn indicators as well.
Round at the back, the tail lamps are new too. These are Z-shaped wrap-around 3D rear combi-lamps with LED edgelight and LED side-marker lamps.
Inside, the redesigned seats are draped in leather while the centre arm rest and door pads get soft pads. All passengers get individual headrests and three-point emergency locking retractor seatbelts.
Even the dashboard's design is tweaked, and it now features wood trim finish and soft pads. It follows a black and beige theme with silver accents around the air-con vents.
The sedan comes with many new features including a seven-inch digital instrument cluster, electric sunroof, automatic headlights, ambient lighting and even a rear sunshade.
There's an eight-inch touchscreen infotainment system with Android Auto, Apple CarPlay, Alexa remote capability. It also gets the brand's latest Honda Connect with Telematics Control Unit.
This 2020 City has a five-star ASEAN NCAP safety rating. Safety equipment includes six airbags, Vehicle Stability Assist (VSA) with Agile Handling Assist (AHA), Hill Start Assist etc.
Then, there's a Tyre Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS), ABS with EBD and Brake Assist, ISOFIX child safety seat anchor points, rear view camera and Honda's new LaneWatch Camera.
