In few years when all new cars will be SUV and electric that Honda City 2025 will be like: an honest reminder why well-built sedans are not only still around but also vigourous! It’s not just more of Honda tradition, this is an excellent automotive piece of work that brings together the best of premium refinement with practical everyday use that shows spending serious money on a traditional three-box sedan will never go out of style in India.
Taste of the Century; Efficient Evolution with Premium Style
Right from the moment you enter the 2025 City, its sculpted yet understated design makes you notice straight off the bat. The silhouette of Hyundai City remains as traditional sedan proportions that have always epitomised these cars, while contemporary elements give it a real up-to-date look. Its chrome grille, LED matrix headlights and 17 inch alloy wheels to go along and might be the premium road presence you are looking without being over your head.
What really speaks of Honda’s design wizards slapping a sub version that appears substantial and aerodynamic (kinda) Interface of 04mm: The length added with the 4,553mm length (35mm longer than before) providing actual personal advantages to interior segment and 0.29cd Cd-rated is fuel friendly and suited for faster trialing. Comes with a more elaborate lighting pattern for the LED taillights signifying the now signature of City by night now.
Powertrain : Enhaced Performance with Revolted efficiency
Under the car, Honda sticks to its tried and true 1.5L i-VTEC petrol mill in City 2025 with power now peaking at 123PS and 145Nm. This may not sound like exciting horsepower numbers, but the linear power delivery and buttery smooth refinement of these naturally aspirated engines are proof enough that naturally aspirated motors will always have a place in enthusiast’s hearts.
What is a real story: Intelligent Multi-Mode Drive (i-MMD) HYBRID System on Improve Variants. Equipped with a 1.5L Atkinson cycle engine and two electric motors, this configuration delivers an impressive 27.8 kmpl, and drives in city conditions near about the character of an EV
The change from electricity to hybrid mode is so smooth that occupants are not likely to notice it.
Interior : The Class-Leading Space with Premium Touches
Enter step into, and the City proves once again indeed an exemplar of practicality in its interior packaging category. This technology results in 2,600mm wheelbase which leads to more than adequate rear legroom and the new “body stabilising seats” will provide excellent comfort when it comes time to covering long distances. You get the “Man Maximum, Machine Minimum” Honda DNA from head to toe; its perfectly positioned armrests all the way through till these thoughtfully low mounted storage solutions.
Premium add-ons:
- 10.2 inch digital info display, customizable.
- 9-inch touchscreen (wireless Android Auto, Apple CarPlay)
- 8-speakers premium audio system (in tune for Indian listening habits)

Now with a lower loading lip to facilitate family use, the 506-liter trunk is still head and shoulders above anyone — including the MQB driver.
La Ride and Handling, la balanza perfecta!
En este sentido, los movimientos de la City 2025 reflejan la ingeniería de chasis de Honda. Después de ajustar la suspensión para evitar burbujas tan bien que, en MacPherson strut delantero y torsion beam trasero, la City 2025 continua manteniendo la aceleración detrás de su ADN.
Empieza eléctrico, todo el peso y la comunicación justo el correcto para un pequeño urbano y, en runseguimir, para subirse a un ratico igualmente honroso. Best-in-class 5.3m turning radius and, likewise, an upgraded NVH insulation for lower cabin noise without increasing highway to warble the cabin at speed.
Technology & Safety: Industry-leading package from MITSUBISH
The 2025 City boasts a wide array of tech on the Japanese import thanks to Honda:
- 6 airbags as standard across all variants
- Sensing ADAS (Honda) suite (on higher trims such as Sophisticated) consisting of
- Adaptive Cruise Control
- Collision Mitigation Braking
- Lane Keep Assist
- Road Departure Mitigation

The fact that these features are de-facto standard on more expensive trims puts the City in a great spot over its rivals that still haven’t rightly embraced safety tech.

The City 2025 is a success in refinement, not reinvention of the sedan formula; in so doing it offers a package that is at once reassuringly familiar and just ok enough with new tech to keep its ear to the ground.

Future proving hybrid model
In my opinion the City 2025 is arguably the most balanced package in the Rs 15-20 Lakh sedan segment. It’s not all that flashiest car you can get style there, but probably what is most pleasurable a car that delivers on each promise it makes without any excess of over.
In an age of plodding cars and detachment from driver input, the Honda City serves as a sober reminder on what well designed sedans are supposed to be. Those who appreciate the last touch of automotive elegance will find that a 2025 City rides in the waning years of what is unquestionably no more a great traditional sedan and endearingly such.
