Highlights of this 2020 Honda City include an evolutionary design and growth in terms of length and width both of which have given the car quite an update. It’s a black and beige affair in the cabin and the feature list, apart from the segment standard, has been upgraded to include full LED lights as well as segment-first lane watch camera. Dual front airbags and ABS with EBD are standard while top-of-the-line ZX models get six airbags.
The City is a rival for the likes of the Hyundai Verna, Maruti Suzuki Ciaz, Toyota Yaris in the C-segment of the Indian car market.
