2014 New Honda City Exterior and Interior Walkaround VIDEOS


Developed in Japan

Honda has introduced the fourth generation of the Japan-developed City in New Delhi, India.

The mid-size sedan was created at Honda's R&D center in Tochigi, Japan and represents the firm's first model to implement the new "EXCITING H DESIGN!!!" styling language. The vehicle has the same 4400mm length and 1695mm width as the previous generation, but its height has increased by 10mm to 1495mm while the wheelbase has been stretched by 50mm to 2600mm.

Power will come from a 4-cylinder, 1.5-liter DOHC i-DTEC diesel engine created exclusively for the Indian market which uses the latest Earth Dreams Technology. There will also be an upgraded 4-cylinder, 1.5-liter SOHC i-VTEC gasoline engine promising to bring a better balance between performance and fuel economy.

Already available on order, the new Honda City will go on sale in January 2014 in India and will be followed by 60 other markets.

Honda to launch City, Fit and Brio diesels in India

by Anthony Lim of www.paultan.org

A report indicates that Honda is planning to introduce three diesel-based models in India next year in a bid to catch up with competitors such as Maruti Suzuki and Hyundai. The automaker has been lagging behind because there are better tax incentives for oil burners in that market, and it only has a single diesel model on sale there at this point.

The Nikkei adds that the diesel engines for the trio will be manufactured at its plant in Uttar Pradesh in northern India, after improvements to the production line for gasoline-powered engines are made. The report doesn’t state the engine displacement, so the question remains if it’ll be the 1.5 litre Earth Dreams i-DTEC turbodiesel as seen on the Brio Amaze sedan.

Honda is also planning to introduce the Brio-based MPV – which is set to make its world debut at the upcoming Indonesian International Motor Show – in India. The seven-seater is set to challenge the Suzuki Ertiga MPV when it arrives there; pricing of the ‘Brio MPV‘ in India is expected to be kept to around RM33,500, equivalent to that for the Ertiga.

The report adds that Honda is slated to increase the number of dealers in India by 60% to 250 in an effort to take total sales to 300,000 units in 2016.
