First launched in 2020, followed by a refresh in 2023 with sharper styling, additional features, and an advanced driver-assistance system (ADAS) suite, the Honda City has landed a spot in our long-term fleet. Sedans are a rare breed here, so this widely popular choice piqued our interest, especially in the new ‘Obsidian Blue’ paint.

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.
