2023 Honda City Review:
The 2023 Honda City represents a refreshed version of the fifth-generation sedan that debuted in India in 2021. Building on its legacy, this new model incorporates enhancements inspired by the robust hybrid variant, the City e:HEV, introduced in 2022. In a fiercely competitive and off-late active compact sedan segment, the City 2023 aims to uphold its premium and straightforward appeal.
The City 2023 offers two distinct aesthetic options: Elegance and Sporty. The Elegance trim retains the essence of the pre-facelift design, while the Sporty variant introduces more pronounced bumpers, a mesh grille, and faux carbon fiber-finished lower extensions. The fog lamp housings exhibit greater intricacy, and the rear bumper boasts a diffuser-like design. It's important to note that the Sporty trim is exclusive to the City e:HEV and the top-tier petrol trim (VX) and definitely offers a unique look in the segment.
The City 2023 is able to maintain the sleek and balanced silhouette of its predecessor, with different alloy wheel choices being the only notable change in its profile. This facelift marginally enhances the already appealing aesthetics of the fifth-generation of the sedan, contributing to its premium look.
Inside, the City 2023 offers a plush and comfortable cabin with spacious and accommodating seats. The driver can easily find an ideal driving position, thanks to adjustable steering for both height and rake. However, it's worth noting that there are no ventilated seats in the sedan, something seen on rivals like Volkswagen Virtus and Skoda Kushaq.
The central touchscreen remains the same size but boasts improved resolution. It now supports wireless Android Auto and Apple CarPlay, a first for the City. The rear camera delivers clearer images, and the top variant even includes a side camera to assist with lane changes when the left indicator is activated.
The instrument cluster presents a cleaner and sharper display, blending analog and digital elements rather well. In the top trim, the left pod functions as a digital display with customizable information.
Wireless charging has made its debut in the City now, integrated into the center console near the center armrest in the e:HEV, and available as an additional unit atop the cup holders in the petrol version. Notably, the City retains the manual handbrake, whereas the hybrid version features an electronic parking brake.
The City 2023 incorporates six advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS) in all trims except the base variant, forming the Honda Sensing suite. These features include a collision mitigation braking system, lane-keeping assist system, adaptive cruise control with low-speed follow, road departure mitigation system, auto high beams, and a lane-watch camera.
Honda Sensing utilizes a camera behind the front windshield to aid with braking, lane-keeping, and adaptive cruise control, even adjusting speed based on the vehicle ahead on the highway. In the e:HEV, this system can operate at speeds below 30 km/h and can come to a complete stop, restarting as the vehicle ahead moves.
Lane departure and brake assist are active at all times, while steering assist and adaptive cruise control activate at highway speeds of 65 km/h and 72 km/h, respectively. Overall, these systems perform effectively, though users may need some time to acclimate specially when it comes to using them in most Indian road conditions.
The powertrain options remain unchanged from the pre-facelift model. This sedan car offers a 1.5-liter petrol engine paired with a six-speed manual or a CVT, producing 120 bhp and 145 Nm of torque. In the e:HEV, there's a 1.5-liter Atkinson cycle engine with an eCVT, which ensures 108 bhp and 253 Nm of torque.
Both engines offer refinement and smooth operation but become less enthusiastic when pushed hard, especially with the automatic transmissions. The petrol manual variant clearly offers a more engaging driving experience, although its relevance may be limited in congested traffic conditions.
The e:HEV comes with three driving modes - EV Drive, Hybrid Drive, and Engine Drive - which can be selected automatically or manually based on driving conditions and battery charge level. As a driver you can choose between a pure electric mode, optimal efficiency through combined engine and electric power, and high-speed cruising powered by the engine alone.
The City 2023 provides a stable and comfortable ride on various surfaces, offering driver confidence and passenger comfort. The suspension is finely tuned to absorb bumps and potholes without sacrificing body control or agility.
The steering is light and responsive, making city driving quite effortless. At higher speeds, it gains weight, offering good feedback and accuracy. The brakes are surprisingly strong and progressive, inspiring good confidence.
While not a sports sedan, the City 2023 handles corners and curves capably, with some noticeable body roll but nothing unsettling. Grip and traction are commendable, thanks to 16-inch tires and the vehicle stability assist system.
Pricing for the City 2023 ranges from Rs 11.29 lakh to Rs 15.99 lakh (ex-showroom Delhi) for petrol variants and Rs 16.99 lakh to Rs 18.99 lakh (ex-showroom Delhi) for e:HEV models. The increase in prices, ranging from Rs 30,000 to Rs 40,000 compared to the pre-facelift model, feels justified by the added features and updates.
The City 2023 petrol lineup includes four variants: V, VX, ZX, and ZX CVT, while the e:HEV offers two options: ZX and ZX+. The base V variant also comes decently equipped with LED lighting, 15-inch alloy wheels, push-button start, automatic climate control, cruise control, and an 8-inch touchscreen with Android Auto and Apple CarPlay, among other features.
The Honda City 2023 stands out as the longest among its rivals but possesses the smallest wheelbase and boot space. It offers advanced safety features, including ADAS through the Honda Sensing suite in almost all trims. Moreover, it provides both petrol and strong hybrid powertrains, setting it apart from competitors primarily offering petrol engines. The City e:HEV, in particular, delivers impressive efficiency with its smart hybrid system. While the City retains its premium and straightforward appeal with a sleek design and comfortable cabin, it does miss out on some expected features like power seats and a sunroof. Keep in mind that it is one of the higher-priced options in its segment, facing strong competition from other sedans, each with its own unique strengths, such as the Hyundai Verna's spaciousness, the Skoda Slavia and Volkswagen Virtus' turbo-petrol engines, and the Maruti Suzuki Ciaz's efficiency and roominess.

It's a perfect combination of Safety, Performance and Style in that order of Priority. The R and D gone into designing a Honda is distinctly visible. Although am a Maruti loyalist and would've gone for a much cheaper Ciaz if it had a Sunroof but now, it's Thank God it didn't! The auto transmission in the form of CVT is a wonder. The prospective buyer must shed the typical Indian mentality of 'Automatic Consumption is Higher'! The systems in the machine itself ensures fuel economy by the driver. It's already giving much more milage than my earlier Swift (Petrol). The Cruise Control pampers you so much that one looks forward for opportunities to drive more and drive long! The uphill driving becomes so easy. The auto stabilizing feature makes turning a child's play, without reducing speed. The Safety features are fool proof and too many. The dealership would be able to explain them better. The keyless entry is 'literal' as one doesn't require to even push the remote button to enter the Car. The proximity sensor of the driver unlocks the car. A small but extremely useful feature. Some Shortcomings:- - The high beam of headlights are too low for convenient driving in absolute dark conditions. In hill driving, it actually becomes dangerous. - The User Guide Book is confusing, voluminous and not vehicle specific. From Africa to East Asia to India to 6 variants covered in one book. Every time, in each page, you've to look for your machine variant. Poor cost cutting measure by Honda, must say. One buying a 13Lakh machine would atleast expect a dedicated user manual. - Reverse Parking Camera is excellent with three views but a Sensor should also have been there. Makes reversing easy. - The ?700/- worth WiFi adaptor should be part of the basic kitting atleast in the top variants. Shows Brand Honda in poort light as it reduces utility of the beautiful infotainment display. - I was a bit surprised to find that the top end variant too comes without floor mats! Overall a 10 on 10 for the Car in Petrol variant. Dealership quite responsive, unlike the arrogant Hundai. Would be happy to address any specific queries too if it's allowed in C&B review. Posting for the first time, though C&B helped me a lot in decision making, in the past as well as now.

I have purchased it a month back. Highly satisfied with its performance and style. Its steering is extremely smooth and very powerful AC. As its new, its better not to comment on fuel consumption, but Honda legacy says it would give best performance after 4th servicing i.e. after 1 year. Not only myself, other friends & colleagues who have driven my car, are fully content with overall performance.

The Honda City, while officially categorized as a sedan car in the C segment, transcends traditional classifications with its blend of luxurious features and premium qualities. While it may not bear the label of a luxury cars, it certainly exudes an aura of opulence and sophistication that rivals some luxury counterparts.
What sets the Honda cars City apart and can make it akin to a luxury car within the sedan segment is the exceptional attention to detail and the inclusion of features that enhance both comfort and convenience. The spacious cabin space is a standout feature, providing ample room for occupants to relax and enjoy the journey. This generous interior space is a hallmark of luxury, allowing passengers to stretch out and savor the ride.
Moreover, the Honda City incorporates a range of elements that contribute to its premium feel.

The technological prowess of the Honda City further elevates its status. The touchscreen infotainment system not only enhances connectivity but also adds a modern and sophisticated touch to the interior. It serves as a hub for entertainment, navigation, and convenience, enhancing the overall driving experience.
Furthermore, the capacious 510 liters of cabin space is a testament to the practicality and utility that define luxury. It provides ample storage for luggage, shopping, or any cargo needs, enhancing the versatility of the vehicle.
The Honda City distinguishes itself with a remarkably well-insulated cabin, effectively shielding passengers from unwanted external noise intrusion. The engineering prowess of the vehicle is evident in its ability to maintain a serene and tranquil interior environment. When inside the Honda City, passengers are treated to an oasis of quietude, where the cacophony of the outside world is kept at bay.
One of the standout features of the Honda City's noise insulation is its effectiveness even at high speeds. Even when cruising at elevated velocities, passengers are shielded from the intrusive clamor of the engine and road. This remarkable noise control allows for a more relaxed and enjoyable driving experience, especially during long journeys where serenity is highly valued.
However, the true testament to the Honda City's noise-reducing capabilities becomes apparent at moderate speeds with the windows closed. Inside the cabin, a pin-drop silence prevails, creating an atmosphere of tranquility that is truly exceptional. This level of noise isolation ensures that conversations can be held comfortably, and passengers can immerse themselves in their preferred music or audio without any external interference.
To achieve this impressive noise insulation, the latest generation of Honda City cars incorporates innovative design elements. The inclusion of firewall insulation that is 1.8 times thicker, combined with spray foam insulation, further enhances the cabin's ability to resist noise intrusion. This meticulous attention to detail in soundproofing demonstrates Honda's commitment to delivering a refined and peaceful driving experience.
The Honda City in India offers a diverse range of interior features designed to elevate the driving experience and ensure passengers' comfort and convenience. At the heart of the interior is a cutting-edge touchscreen infotainment system, that seamlessly integrates with modern technology.

Whether it's streaming music, making hands-free calls, or navigating unfamiliar routes, the touchscreen infotainment system simplifies it all.
Furthermore, the Honda City prioritizes passenger comfort, exemplified by the inclusion of automatic climate control. This system enables precise adjustment of the cabin temperature to individual preferences, ensuring a pleasant interior climate regardless of external conditions. Whether facing scorching heat or chilly weather, the automatic climate control system maintains a cozy and comfortable environment.
For those who appreciate a touch of luxury and the joy of open skies, the Honda City offers the added delight of a sunroof. This feature not only floods the cabin with natural light but also allows for a refreshing breath of fresh air, enhancing the overall ambiance and creating a more enjoyable journey.
In terms of practicality, the Honda City's interior features power windows and power-adjustable mirrors, adding convenience to the driving experience. Power windows provide effortless control over all windows, allowing passengers to regulate airflow with ease. Meanwhile, power-adjustable mirrors simplify the task of achieving the perfect mirror position for optimal visibility, enhancing safety and overall driving comfort.
The Honda City's body has undergone a series of substantial engineering improvements in its latest models, resulting in a significantly stronger and more robust construction. One of the most notable enhancements is the integration of high-tensile strength materials into the body structure, signifying a commitment to durability and safety. A specific focus area has been the roof section, which has been engineered to be notably stiffer than in previous iterations. This structural upgrade has collectively led to a remarkable 20% increase in torsional rigidity, a critical factor influencing the vehicle's overall stability, handling, and safety.
What's remarkable is that these structural advancements don't compromise the Honda City's appearance or the perception of its weight. The vehicle maintains a sense of lightness in its visual and tactile characteristics, a testament to the meticulous engineering that balances weight distribution and optimization. In reality, the latest models of the Honda City have seen a modest increase in weight, exceeding 40 kilograms. This weight gain can be attributed to the deliberate incorporation of enhancements dedicated to sound insulation, enriching the cabin's ambiance with a quieter and more serene environment. Furthermore, the heightened emphasis on passenger safety has led to the inclusion of structural elements that contribute to the overall weight increase.
The safety features and ratings of the Honda City unequivocally establish it as a safe and secure choice within the C-segment of automobiles. The 2023 iteration of the Honda City introduces a suite of advanced safety mechanisms that underscore its commitment to occupant protection and overall road safety. One of the standout features is the standard anti-lock braking system (ABS), complemented by electronic brake force distribution (EBD). ABS plays a pivotal role in preventing wheel slippage and locking during sudden braking, enhancing driver control and reducing the risk of accidents. EBD takes this a step further by intelligently distributing brake force to the wheels based on multiple factors, optimizing stability and control under various driving conditions.
In terms of passive safety, the Honda City 2023 boasts dual airbags, which are a fundamental safeguard in the event of a collision. For those who desire an even higher level of protection, the high-end variants of the Honda City include a comprehensive package of six airbags, encompassing curtain and side airbags, providing all-around protection for occupants. These airbags are strategically positioned to mitigate injury during a collision, ensuring that passengers are shielded from potential harm.
These advanced safety features have not gone unnoticed, as the Honda City has been awarded an impressive 5-star rating for Occupant Safety, a testament to its ability to protect those inside the vehicle. Additionally, it has obtained a commendable 4-star rating for Child Safety, further emphasizing its suitability for families and young passengers.
The Honda City in India boasts a comprehensive array of safety features that prioritize the well-being of both driver and passengers, ensuring a secure and confident driving experience. Among the notable safety enhancements integrated into this vehicle are dual airbags, an anti-lock braking system (ABS) with electronic brake-force distribution (EBD), vehicle stability assist, hill start assist, rear parking sensors, and ISOFIX child seat mounts.
The dual airbags are a vital first line of defense in the event of a collision, offering protection to both the driver and front passenger. The ABS with EBD system is another crucial component, working harmoniously to maintain stability and control during abrupt braking maneuvers, reducing the risk of skidding and ensuring effective stopping power.
Vehicle Stability Assist, on the other hand, is a dynamic safety feature that significantly enhances handling and stability, particularly in challenging driving scenarios such as slippery roads or sudden swerves. This technology provides an extra layer of control, ultimately contributing to accident prevention.
Hill start assist is a practical feature that aids in smooth uphill starts, preventing the vehicle from rolling backward during takeoff, which can be especially helpful in hilly terrains. Rear parking sensors add an element of convenience and safety when maneuvering the vehicle in tight spaces, providing audible alerts to help avoid collisions while parking.
Lastly, the inclusion of ISOFIX child seat mounts underscores Honda's commitment to family safety, making it easy and secure to install child seats, ensuring that even the youngest passengers are protected. In summary, the safety features in the Honda City in India showcases a holistic approach to safeguarding occupants, combining passive and active technologies to deliver a secure, enjoyable, and confident driving experience on Indian roads.
