Honda Cars India launched the 2020 Honda
City last month. While the 5th generation City provided the perfect upgrade
over the outgoing version. However, due to the recent pandemic, many new car
buyers are now facing a financial crunch. As a result, Honda Cars India have
officially announced the sale of the 4th Generation Honda city in tandem with
the all-new version to provide more buying options to the consumers. The 4th
Generation City will go on sale with two trim options available - V and SV.
Outside, the 4th Gen Honda City carries
the same styling as it did before the 2020 Honda City was launched. At the
front, you get a honeycomb grille with a chrome slat above, in combination with
LED headlamps with DRLs and a chunky bumper. At the side, you get chrome door
handles and 16-inch multi-spoke alloy wheels. The rear profile also features
the same sharp styling, with LED tail lamps to accentuate its premium
aesthetic. Inside, the 4th Gen Honda City will remain unchanged as well. However,
that includes niceties like leather seats, touchscreen infotainment with
multi-phone connectivity, GPS navigation, sunroof, Auto AC with dust/pollen
filter and keyless-entry-and-go.
The 4th Gen Honda City will now be offered
with just one petrol engine and transmission option available in both variants.
The engine in question is the 1.5-litre i-VTEC petrol unit which is BS6
compliant, delivering 118bhp and 146Nm of torque. The only transmission
available is a 5-speed manual transmission. In terms of fuel efficiency, this
engine-gearbox configuration delivers an ARAI claimed 16.5kmpl. Both V and SV
variants of the 4th Gen Honda City retail under the INR 10 lakh mark, which
should make the popular model all the more better value-for-money. The Honda
City SV MT carries a price tag of INR 9.29 lakh (ex-showroom) and the Honda
City V MT carries a price tag of INR 9.99 lakh (ex-showroom). The 4th
Generation Honda City was first launched back in 2014 and combined with all the
following updated versions, has cumulatively sold more than 3.5 lakh units in
India till date.
