Honda to Strengthen India Lineup

Honda is adding two cars to its India lineup - the WR-V compact crossover and the new-gen Civic, apart from refreshing the ever-popular City. Rahul Ghosh gives you all the information.

Japanese auto giant, Honda has a strong following in India. People tend to swear by the bullet proof reliability of these cars and in certain cases it has also become a status symbol. Honda too keeps busy by launching newer and refreshed versions of their cars and that in turn helps keep the excitement going. So as planned 2017 is going to be exciting for Honda. The first to come will be the refreshed City which will be followed up by the WR-V and then will come the brand new Civic. But let’s take one at a time starting with the City.

The new City gets a mild cosmetic makeover starting with the front which now has a pronounced chrome grille. The head lamps are new and come with integrated day time running lights. The front bumper has been redone as well. At the back, the bumper is new and the tail lamps sport LEDs. Inside trim is new and the entertainment device has been upgraded and is now compatible with IOS and Android devices. Mechanically though, the City will remain the same. So the same 1.5litre duo of petrol and diesel engines will continue to serve this sedan.
