The new City facelift features a design which is similar to that of new gen Civic / Accord, and not like that of the Honda City Griez on sale in China. 2017 Honda City facelift features LED wraparound headlamps, LED taillights, new fog lights, new bumper, new 16 inch diamond cut alloys, new all black interiors, new touchscreen infotainment system with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto compatibility. Below is the first official teaser.
New Honda City Variants and Price
2017 Honda City will be offered in five variants to include S (MT), SV (MT), V (MT and CVT), VX (MT and CVT) and ZX (CVT) grades. Interiors will get upgraded and according to trim levels will be seen with all black interiors with chrome accents. Reading light will be on offer with the VX grade onwards while ZX grade will get three rear seats, head rests with height adjustment, arm rests and two glass holders. ZX is the new top-end trim which will come with 16 inch alloys, others will get 15 inch wheels. Reportedly, the LED DRL in the headlight is standard across variants.

Front and Rear AC vents, rear parking sensors with camera and rear power outlets will also be evident. In Thailand, the new Honda City has been priced from 550,000 baht to 751,000 baht (INR 10.6 lakhs to 14.5 lakhs).
New Honda City India Launch
The launch of the new Honda City facelift (codename 2GC) will take place in India on 14th February 2017. Considering that the Japanese sedan is no longer leading the sales chart in its segment, it soon needs an update in order to take back the lost share to new Maruti Ciaz. It also needs to be wary of the upcoming new gen Hyundai Verna, also schedule for launch in 2017.
The facelift is also expected to have fixed a fewshortcomings (such as high noise levels of the diesel variants) based on the customer feedback. The 1.5-litre i-VTEC petrol and i-DTEC diesel engines would continue in India. The petrol 1.5 liter delivers 118 PS while the diesel 1.5 liter delivers 100 PS. It will be available with both automatic (CVT) as well as manual transmission.
Price of the new City will remain more or less in the same range as that of the existing City. More details will be revealed once the car is launched in a few days.
