The Honda City has long been the gold standard in the mid-size sedan segment in India. Known for its elegant design, refined driving dynamics, and superior comfort, the City has consistently evolved with changing times never losing its charm. Now, with the integration of Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS), Honda City takes a giant leap forward, combining its timeless appeal with futuristic safety and driving technology.
If you’re looking for a sedan that blends style, performance, comfort, and now intelligent safety features, the new Honda City with ADAS is an unbeatable choice.
A Design That Never Ages
The Honda City has always stood out for its sleek, aerodynamic silhouette and premium styling. The current generation continues to uphold that tradition, with sharp LED headlamps, bold front grille, and refined character lines that give it a mature yet sporty appeal. Its proportionate stance and long wheelbase add a sense of luxury that rivals many premium sedans.
Inside, the City offers an equally impressive cabin. From leather upholstery and a soft-touch dashboard to ambient lighting and an intuitive layout, everything inside the City feels plush and well thought out. The spacious rear seats and excellent legroom are especially appreciated by Indian buyers, making it an ideal choice for both drivers and passengers.
The Game-Changing ADAS Features
The biggest highlight of the new Honda City is the introduction of Honda Sensing, the brand’s proprietary ADAS suite. This brings a host of intelligent safety and driver-assistance features that significantly enhance both convenience and peace of mind while driving.
Some of the standout ADAS features include:
- Collision Mitigation Braking System (CMBS): Automatically applies the brakes to prevent or reduce the severity of a collision.
- Lane Keeping Assist System (LKAS): Helps the car stay centered in its lane on highways.
- Road Departure Mitigation System (RDM): Detects when the car is about to leave the road and gently steers it back to safety.
- Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC): Maintains a safe distance from the vehicle ahead by automatically adjusting speed.
- Auto High-Beam Assist: Automatically switches between high and low beam depending on oncoming traffic.
These features are rare in this segment, making the Honda City one of the most technologically advanced sedans in its class.
Performance That Delivers Every Time
Under the hood, the Honda City continues to offer its tried-and-tested 1.5L i-VTEC petrol engine, known for its smooth performance and fuel efficiency. Producing 121 PS of power and paired with either a 6-speed manual or CVT automatic gearbox, the City offers a refined driving experience that balances performance with everyday usability.
For those seeking even better efficiency, Honda also offers the City e:HEV hybrid variant. It combines a petrol engine with two electric motors, delivering exceptional mileage along with seamless performance and lower emissions ideal for urban commuters and eco-conscious drivers.
Smart Tech for the Modern Driver
Beyond ADAS, the Honda City is packed with tech features to enhance convenience and connectivity. The 8-inch touchscreen infotainment system supports Android Auto and Apple CarPlay, while the updated digital instrument cluster provides vital driving information with clarity.
Other features like wireless smartphone charger, connected car tech (Honda Connect), electric sunroof, ambient lighting, and rear AC vents make the driving experience more enjoyable for all passengers.
Safety Beyond ADAS
Apart from the ADAS suite, the Honda City also includes essential safety features such as six airbags, ABS with EBD, vehicle stability assist, rear parking camera, ISOFIX child seat anchors, and tyre pressure monitoring system. The car’s strong body structure, built using Honda’s ACE (Advanced Compatibility Engineering) platform, adds to its crash safety credentials.
