It is the time when fresh entries throng the car market in a bid to cash in on the advantage offered by the festive season. One such carmaker that does not wish to let go the opportunity is Honda, which has decided to launch the all-new Honda City in October with a possible facelift.
Honda recently went loose on the price tags of its products despite the underrated performance of the Indian car market making news for quite some time now. As a result of the drop in costs, the Honda City has proved to be an apt and beneficial choice, along with the other mid-sized sedans offered by the company. The new splendid package would not only boost its sales, but will also add to the popularity of Honda City. Certain sources have confirmed occurrence of spy activities on the all new Honda City facelift at the time of its testing.
In the face of it, one can make out that the changes and touch-ups are not substantial. However, minor modifications have helped provide an overall fresh look to the model. A prominent change that can be noticed is in the front part of the car, which now consists of a redefined and revised front grille that has been given fine finished in black.
The front bumper is also a part of the modifications being made, wherein the fog lamps are placed more strategically. The car also gets a transformation at the sides as well as the rear bumper that is laced with a smooth sporty touch. Moreover, the new alloy wheels borrow its cue from the high-end Accord. The 10-spoke alloys add to the overall sporty theme, which is quite evident in the new Honda City. The numerous features affixed in the fresh version do not stop at these. The new model is expected to have a sunroof as well.
Furthermore, the new variant of the Honda City is expected to be the high-end version of this particular product line. Moreover, the buyers can hope to see the Honda City facelift model to be installed with many innovative features, such as the automatic climate control, Bluetooth and auto-retractable mirrors.
The close competitors of Honda City are believed to possess all these features and so the move by Honda needs no explanation. Looking at the changes that Honda has made in its ace model City, cars like Hyundai Verna would surely face challenge during the coming months.
The mechanical aspect of the car is believed to remain the same though. The all new facelift Honda City will be equipped with the same 1.5 litre i-VTEC engine, providing maximum power of 116 bhp. Besides, the price of the car is expected to remain the same.
Thus, with the launch of the all-new Honda City, the company is confident of having a reason to smile during the upcoming festive season.
