Let’s take a closer look at the newly found details of the new Honda City.
2026 Honda City Facelift: Design
The 2026 Honda City facelift gets a new design for the front end. Sharper LED headlights, redesigned grille with a new honeycomb pattern, redesigned bumper with new air ducts, and a revised air dam give the City a fresh as well as appeal face. The Honda badge is now placed above the grille; earlier, it was placed on the grille. The dual-tone alloy wheels have been redesigned, too.
2026 Honda City Facelift: Interior and Features
As far as interiors are concerned, the leaked images reveal a freestanding infotainment display, which seems larger than the current 8.0-inch unit. This could mean a minor redesigning dashboard.
In terms of features, the new Honda City is expected to carry forward the current feature package. Moreover, Honda can add a few more features, for example, a powered driver seat, ventilated front seats, and an optional 360-degree camera. Moreover, there could be new trim pieces and upholstery.
2026 Honda City Facelift: Engine and Transmission
The new Honda City is expected to carry forward the same powertrains as the current model. The current model is powered by a 1.5-litre NA petrol engine, which produces 121 PS and 145 Nm and is mated to either a 6-speed manual gearbox or a CVT automatic. The strong hybrid Honda City is also expected to continue with the same 126 PS-producing, 1.5-litre strong hybrid unit, mated to an e-CVT automatic.
2026 Honda City Facelift: Price, Launch, and Rivals
