The New Honda City 2025 The trusted, well-liked midsize sedan With vast improvements to its earlier version, the New Honda City 2025 combines the trusted reliability and comfort of the City, with a bolder design, advanced features, and a stronger performance to its credit, establishing it as an even fiercer competitor in its segment.
Fresh Exterior Styling
Honda has made the 2025 City look sharper and more contemporary. Slim, Horizontal Slats inside the grille gave space to a slimmer, flowing chrome accent that presents with LED headlights and integrated LED light. New front and rear bumpers with a more sporty design give the car a fresh look, ensuring that it turns heads in traffic and road booths.
The City comes with new 15- or16-inch alloy wheels, which depend on the variant, and additional dual-tone colour choices have been brought in to further the upmarket feel. Most of the design upgrades are so tastefully understated that they accent appearances without marring its statuesque frame.
INTERIOR UPGRADES AND TECH IMPROVEMENTS
Enter, and the City exists but has been refined. The cabin remains spacious, and the dashboard is redesigned and influenced by Honda’s global models, with high-quality soft-touch materials and sharp trims.
There is a tech leap as well, with a new 7-inch touchscreen infotainment system with wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. Higher trims receive a wireless charging pad, rear USB-C ports and a 4.2-inch TFT instrument cluster that displays trip information, fuel efficiency stats and safety prompts at a glance.
Honda’s excellent LaneWatch camera system is present and correct, along with newer tech items like push-button start with auto-hold brake. Equipment such as dual-zone automatic climate control makes the drive comfortable for all passengers – even on long stretches.
Powertrains: Plain or hybrid
Underneath the hood, there are two choices for the City:
- 1.5L i-VTEC Petrol: Generates 121 PS and 145 Nm, mated to a 6MT or CVT. This is choice that will give you a good balance of ride and fuel economy.
- 1.5L e:HEV Hyrbid: Fusing the same petrol power plant with twin yet independent electric motors and two clutches but for around 124 PS, an efficient urban package. So City Acceleration is silent and has instant torque from a dead stop in this hybrid operation.
Both engines still meet the newest E20 standards and have ok fuel efficiency compared the other compact sedans available today.
Safety & Driver-Assistance: Honda Sensing Comes to the Sedan
Safety in the 2025 Honda City City takes a step forward with enhancements and next-gen systems. All versions have six airbags and disc brakes on all wheels. Rear vents with dual-zone climate control is a nice comfort touch. On the top trims you get the father of all safety innovations – Honda Sensing driver assistance package that adds Adaptive Cruise Control, Low-Speed Follow, Forward Collision Mitigation, Lane-Keeping Assist, Lane Departure Warning, and Automatic High-Beam. There’s blind-spot monitoring too and the City can be considered one of the safest sedans you can buy at this price point.
Ride & handling on the street
While on the road, the City continues to exhibit its well-known cushy ride, light on its feet steering and stable composure. The petrol CVT feels smooth and spritely, while the hybrid is great for city driving, being quiet with excellent fuel consumption.
