2020 Honda City LED headlights teased – India launch in March

Honda Car India has teased the next-generation City sedan in a new image. The teaser image does show a portion of the front fascia, which looks almost identical to the Thai-spec model that was unveiled back in November 2019. The India-spec Honda City gets LED headlights, seen on board the RS variant of Thai-spec City. The lower bumper of India-spec City is same as that of Thai-spec City regular variant.

The 2020 Honda City gets full-LED headlamps, bigger radiator grille and extra-sculpted bumpers compared to the outgoing BS4 model. The roof is much flatter. This translates to a better sense of roominess and airiness inside the car. The Thailand-spec Honda City debuted with 15-inch wheels, but Indian examples might sport 16-inch wheels. In fact, all the 2020 Honda City test mules that were spied in recent times across the country drove on 16-inch wheels.

India-Bound 2020 Honda City Reviewed In Video – How Was It Like?

Honda Cars India will be launching the new-generation version of its popular City sedan in the domestic market late next month or in April, and it has been on sale internationally already. This gives us a preview of what the model is all about as overseas journalists have reviewed it.

The review linked below is from Thaiautonews Youtube channel as the RS variant of the 2020 Honda City was put into test. While acknowledging the handling characteristics and the sedan being powerful, the reviewer says the suspension felt too soft. He liked the steering feel and its responsive behaviour as well. He further said that the new generation Honda City has a spacious interior and these are just his observations and we would give you a comprehensive look into the sedan when we get our hands on it. The 1.0-litre turbocharged petrol engine used in the RS variant may not make it to India anytime soon though.

The new City for India will look quite similar to the one that made its world premiere in Thailand late last year. However, Honda India will incorporate country-specific changes. The car’s interior will see tweaks such as dual-tone shades and faux-brushed aluminum trim to make the car look more premium. A lighter shade will be used for the seats, at least on the higher variants. The top-spec City ZX for our market will come with a sunroof, 16-inch alloy wheels and full-LED headlamps as standard.

2020 Honda City To Get LaneWatch Camera In India, Feature Details Leaked

In a normal scenario, we’d have driven the 2020 Honda City by now and would have detailed all features on offer. However, with the City’s launch standing deferred in the wake of the coronavirus pandemic, there are still a fair few details not known about the India-spec car. We’ve just got our hands on a leaked brochure that does give some vital new info on the top-spec City ZX’s features list.

Starting with safety equipment, the City ZX will get LED headlight, LED tail-lights, six airbags, traction control and electronic stability programme and hill-start assist. New to the City will be a low-tyre-pressure warning system, as well as three-point seatbelts for the rear-middle passenger. A reverse camera will be part of the package, too, in addition to which the City ZX will also feature Honda’s Lane Watch camera, as seen on the Civic. The segment-first feature will comprise a camera on the left wing mirror that will relay feed to the centre screen. It’s a handy feature in India where errant road users tend to overtake from the wrong side.

The 2020 City will also get an upgrade, in terms of the infotainment package. The City ZX will feature an 8.0-inch touchscreen system with Android Auto and Apple CarPlay connectivity, and interestingly, the model will also be the first car in India to be compatible with Alexa Remote. Honda will also offer its app-based connectivity technology - Honda Connect - that will have a telematics control unit that can remotely share car status details.

2020 Honda City Launch Details Out; Will Be Launched In Both Petrol And Diesel Variants

The fifth-generation Honda City would have already gone on sale in India last month. However, the entire world is bogged down in the unprecedented Coronavirus crisis to prevent which the nation is undergoing a prolonged lockdown. In fact, in the first 45 days of the lockdown no commercial activity or even small gatherings were allowed and the entire auto industry came to a standstill, recording zero domestic sales and production in April. Hence, it was not feasible for Honda Cars India to launch a product as important as the all-new 2020 City in this period.
