New Exterior Styling
While its proportions and design language are still unmistakably ‘City,’ teh facelift brings in better and mature styling into it. The chrome brow connecting the headlamps has gone slimmer now making way for a new sporty font grille with chequered-flag pattern. A new redesigned front bumper with smoother lines and carbon-wrapped lower moulding, and sporty new fog lamps garnishing, add a distinct sense of sleekness and elegance to the new City’s front fascia. The City facelift’s styling tweaks closely follows the lines of its larger siblings like the new Honda Civic, sold internationally.
The restyling is not is not just limited to the front though. While the tail lamp housing remains unchanged, the new redesigned bumper with pronounced creases, new trunk-lip spoiler, and new R16 dual-tone diamond-cut alloy wheels seamlessly compliment the new City’s sharper and sportier presence. Also new is the distinctive ‘Obsidian Blue’ colour scheme available with the refreshed Honda City lineup for 2023.
