Next generation Honda City to arrive in 2020

KUALA LUMPUR: You might complain that Honda hasn’t been very active in introducing the new generations of its cars. But as a matter of fact, Honda does take time to bring new updates but does bring facelifts at regular intervals. As for an example, the last facelift of the City came in about 2017.

 

Having said that, since the other competing automobile makers have quite a number updated models on sale, prospect buyers would eagerly wait for a thoroughly revised Honda City anytime soon. And keeping this in mind, Yoichiro Ueno, the Managing Director of Honda Cars in India revealed that new generation City will be introduced in 2020. This would be the fifth generation model globally.

However, besides this claim by the managing director of Honda India, no additional details are available yet. The only thing we know is that the new City would be getting a hybrid model, which is already offered in the Japanese market in the name of Grace.

Apart from this, we can expect it to have a diesel guise too, something that is already offered in the India-spec City. As for the regular petrol motor, it is expected to be the same as we get now, which is a 1.5-litre unit making 120 PS of power at 6,600 rpm and 145 Nm of torque at 4,600 rpm.

Speaking about the design, there could be quite a lot of aesthetic tweaks, just like the fourth generation update in 2014. It could even possibly get a lot of designing elements from the C-segment Civic sedan, which has embraced extreme stylishness in its latest generation.

No official confirmation is known about the upcoming City, but we can expect some information to come by in the coming months.
