2023 Honda City Petrol AT First Drive Review

By Ninad Ambre09 Mar 2023

This is the latest iteration of the Honda City, a successful three-box sedan still going strong after more than two decades. It's still this fifth-generation avatar introduced in 2020 but gets some more updates. The most important ones are an RDE-compliant engine and advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS). Look closely, and you'll see the elegant exterior design exudes a sportier character thanks to the revised bumpers. These are tastefully done and look like extensions with a carbon fibre look. The grille mesh pattern is revised and there's a new addition of this Obsidian Blue Pearl exterior colour that looks fantastic.
