The facelifted 2018 Honda City has been revealed, starting at AUD 15,990 plus on-road costs. Looking very similar to the Indian-market model revealed a fortnight ago, the revised City gets a new face, an updated infotainment system and extra equipment.

Up front the City gets a new grille, updated headlights with incorporated LED daytime-running lights, and a revised front bumper treatment. New alloy wheel designs fill the arches, while a new rear bumper completes the refreshed look.


Inside, all models get a new 7.0-inch touchscreen infotainment system, along with new trims on the instrument panel, air vents and gearshift. For the top-spec VTi-L, the infotainment unit is upgraded with satellite navigation, while the flagship grade also gets leather-appointed seats as standard.

Cosmic Blue metallic is a new colour choice for the 2018 model-year, though Brilliant Sport Blue metallic and Crystal Black pearlescent have been discontinued.


In terms of pricing, the entry-level VTi is unchanged at AUD 15,990 for the five-speed manual and AUD 17,990 for the continuously-variable transmission (CVT), both before on-road costs. Meanwhile, the top-spec VTi-L sees a small increase of AUD 200 to AUD 21,590 before on-roads, though Honda says this is offset by more than AUD 2000 in additional standard equipment. The updated 2018 Honda City range will arrive in local showrooms in April.
