The Honda City 2025 returns with a refreshed design, smarter technology, and a reputation for reliability that continues to make it a top pick among sedan buyers. The latest model blends Honda’s elegant styling with hybrid efficiency and modern features, ensuring it meets the demands of today’s Indian drivers.
Expected to hit Indian roads by late 2025, the updated City comes with subtle yet impactful design improvements like a redesigned grille, LED headlamps, and an electronic parking brake. Priced between ₹12.38 lakh and ₹19.89 lakh (ex-showroom), it competes directly with the Hyundai Verna and Skoda Slavia. With mileage up to 27KMPL, Honda’s trusted engines and premium interiors make this sedan a solid mix of comfort, class, and economy.
Sleek and Stylish Design
The new Honda City 2025 stays true to its classic proportions while adding a sportier, more dynamic touch. Measuring 4,583 mm in length and 1,748 mm in width, this sedan strikes a perfect balance between city agility and highway stability.
The facelift introduces a bolder grille with horizontal chrome slats, sharp LED headlamps with DRLs, and sleek wraparound taillamps that elevate its road presence. The 16-inch alloy wheels paired with 195/60 R16 tyres ensure smooth and stable handling. Available in elegant shades like Platinum White Pearl and Meteoroid Grey, the car offers a mature yet modern appeal.
Its 165 mm ground clearance allows it to glide over speed breakers, and the 506L boot space easily handles luggage for long drives. Wide doors and a spacious layout make it both practical and stylish for Indian road conditions.
Comfortable and Tech-Rich Cabin
Step inside the Honda City 2025, and you’re greeted by a cabin designed for comfort and class. The seats—available in premium fabric or leatherette—offer excellent support, while the rear seats come with AC vents for passenger comfort. The flat floor design also ensures more legroom for middle passengers.
The 9-inch touchscreen infotainment system supports wireless Android Auto and Apple CarPlay, providing seamless connectivity for music, navigation, and calls. A 7-inch digital driver display, dual-zone climate control, and a single-pane sunroof enhance the overall luxury experience.
Subtle ambient lighting, a cooled glove box, and ample storage compartments make the cabin practical for daily commutes. The 8-speaker sound system delivers clear, rich audio, making every journey more enjoyable.
Efficient and Refined Engine Options
Honda offers two engine choices for the City 2025 – the tried-and-tested 1.5L i-VTEC petrol and the e:HEV hybrid. The petrol variant produces 121 PS and 145 Nm, while the hybrid system delivers a combined 126 PS, ensuring both versions offer peppy performance.
The CVT automatic transmission ensures smooth gear shifts and refined acceleration, achieving 0-100 kmph in around 8 seconds. The petrol variant offers 18.4 kmpl (ARAI), while the hybrid boasts 27.26 kmpl, making it one of the most fuel-efficient sedans in its class.
Whether navigating through city traffic or cruising on highways, the hybrid system’s electric mode offers a silent, smooth experience. Its MacPherson strut front and torsion beam rear suspension easily absorbs bumps, while excellent NVH levels make cabin conversations peaceful.
Loaded with Safety and ADAS Features
Safety is one of Honda’s key strengths, and the City 2025 proves it once again. Equipped with Honda Sensing ADAS, it includes advanced safety systems such as adaptive cruise control, lane-keeping assist, and autonomous emergency braking.
The sedan is built on Honda’s ACE body structure, offering enhanced crash protection. Additional safety features include six airbags, VSA (Vehicle Stability Assist), 360-degree camera, blind-spot monitoring, and ISOFIX child seat mounts.
These features make the new City one of the safest sedans in its price segment—ideal for families and long-distance commuters alike.
Pricing and Availability
The Honda City 2025 is expected to launch officially in late 2025, with prices starting from ₹12.38 lakh for the base petrol variant and going up to ₹19.89 lakh for the top-end hybrid. On-road prices in Delhi are estimated between ₹14 lakh and ₹22 lakh, depending on the variant and taxes.
Buyers can expect attractive deals such as exchange bonuses up to ₹50,000, no-cost EMI offers, and discounts of ₹20,000–₹50,000 at select dealerships. With a 3-year/unlimited km warranty and proven resale value, the City 2025 offers a premium experience at a practical price.
Customer Impressions
Early reviewers and long-time City owners continue to praise the car’s refinement, quiet cabin, and impressive fuel efficiency. Many call it “the smoothest drive in the segment.” While tall passengers may find the rear headroom slightly tight, the overall comfort and reliability easily outweigh minor drawbacks.
Compared to rivals like the Hyundai Verna and Skoda Slavia, the City shines for its refined hybrid engine, solid build, and Honda Sensing safety suite—making it a strong contender in the mid-size sedan category.
