Honda has updated the variant line-up for its City midsize sedan. The current-gen City received a facelift in 2017 and was available in 11 variants. Honda recently announced a new ZX top-spec petrol variant with a manual gearbox in order to increase the car’s appeal. While the City ZX comes with a long list of equipment like six airbags, automatic LED headlamps with DRLs, rain-sensing wipers, electric sunroof, and a 7.0-inch touchscreen infotainment system, it’s the mid-spec City VX that sees a major equipment re-jig. Here’s a closer look.
The new Honda City VX is priced at Rs 11.56-12.86 lakh (petrol and diesel, ex-showroom, Delhi). While the car is Rs 1.19 lakh cheaper than the top-spec trim, the car misses out on quite a few features when compared to the 2018 City VX variant. The City VX comes with 15-inch alloy wheels, a 7.0-inch infotainment system, push-button start, a rear view camera, sunroof and power folding mirrors. The City VX now misses out on LED headlamps and fog lamps, leather seats, a soft-touch dashboard and also sees revised trim pieces on the door pads. Honda, however, has added LED tail-lamps to this variant, a features which was not available earlier.
The Honda City continues to be sold with the same 119hp, 1.5-litre petrol and a 100hp, 1.5-litre diesel engine options. Key rivals to the City include the Maruti Suzuki Ciaz, the Hyundai Verna, Toyota Yaris, Volkswagen Vento and the Skoda Rapid.
