Design wise Honda has not messed about too much carrying forward the clean line of the older model making it easily recognisable as a Honda Product. The design language also connects well to the other Honda products like the civic and amaze with the bold chrome grille that grabs your eye on first glance. The new city comes with LED projector units and Daytime running lamps that give it a distinct character both in the front and the rear.

The new generation City also gets a more plush cabin with 2-tone interiors in ivory and Piano black. The Multi-function steering also is new along with a 8-inch touchscreen display that comes with Apple CarPlay and Siri voice command
