New 2017 Honda City Facelift Exterior
We have always liked the way the City looks. Based on Honda’s ‘H Design’ theme, the City’s design is modern and suave. The facelift is a fresher version of this design. The front grille, which is in line with Honda’s latest design language, has been updated to look more premium. The headlamps, which get LED fixtures, look more premium. The top-end variants get LED headlamps, while all trims get LED DRLs. Apart from this, even the front bumper is new. The rear-end gets revised taillamps. These taillamps have a new motif and also carry LED fixtures. Apart from this, the bumper is new. The car carries a handful of chrome accents around the exterior body. There is also a new alloy wheel design on offer.
