The sixth generation of the car which was launched a couple of years ago, continued to make a strong case for Honda in this segment, while rivaling established players like Hyundai and Maruti Suzuki. We has spotted the car testing in India before its launch on the 14th of February. In fact the company had teased the car in India.

The car comes in a total of 11 variants and we have already told you which ones should you pick.
