The City Sport will be available as a new grade in City line-up in limited units
“The new City Sport has been crafted to meet the aspirations of young buyers who value individuality and a spirited driving experience,” said Kunal Behl, Vice President, Marketing & Sales at Honda Cars India.
He boasted that it embodied a blend of sporty exterior and interior style, fun to drive performance and the everyday usability that Honda City is known for, at a more compelling price.
The new Sport variant is available with the same 1.5-litre engine as the rest of the range. However, it is available only with a CVT (automatic transmission), and sits above the entry-level City V CVT variant, and features cosmetic changes on the inside and outside.
The City Sport features exterior enhancements such as a black grille, black trunk lip spoiler, glossy black shark fin antenna, and a Sport emblem.
Inside, the City Sport comes with an all-black cabin. The seats are upholstered in black leather with red stitching, which is also applied to the door inserts and steering wheel.
Other design changes include black roof lining and pillars, a dark red dashboard garnish, and glossy black AC vents. The cabin also features seven-colour ambient lighting.
The vehicle is powered by a 1.5-litre i-VTEC petrol engine that complies with E20 fuel standards. The engine delivers 121 PS of power and 145 Nm of torque and is paired with a CVT gearbox that includes paddle shifters.
The company claims a fuel efficiency of 18.4 km/l. Safety features include Honda Sensing (ADAS), which offers advanced driver-assist technologies.
