The updated Honda for 900 thousand rubles was declassified before the premiere

Honda is preparing to release an updated version of its sedan for the Indian market, seven years after the model’s debut. The new product will receive a changed design and expanded technological equipment. Carscoops reports this.

Honda has chosen India as one of its priority markets along with North America and Japan, and the City sedan plays a key role in this strategy. The updated version of the model for the Indian market was spotted without camouflage ahead of the planned presentation – this happened just at a time when the company is betting on hybrid technology.

After its premiere in 2019, the Honda City received only a minor update in 2023. The second restyling, planned for 2026, turned out to be much larger – it should help the model keep up with its rivals: Hyundai Verna, Skoda Slavia and VW Virtus.

Journalist Akbar Merchant published a photo of the prototype without camouflage on the X social network, essentially revealing the appearance of the model before the official premiere on May 22. The main changes affected the front part. Slim LED headlights frame a honeycomb-patterned grille. The chrome strip has been replaced by body-colored trim, and the Honda emblem has moved forward. The front bumper has also been redesigned, with redesigned air intakes and a sharper splitter added.
