Honda intends to have a premium positioning for the new City and out of its three trims – V, VX, and ZX – Honda has even equipped the base V trim quite generously, which makes it good value-for-money.
The launch of the next-gen Honda City is just a week away and there’s already quite a lot of excitement buzzing around that. The new Honda City is one of the most important launches of this year and we can tell you the new City is a significant improvement over the existing one. The new Honda City has also grown a lot more premium in its appeal and because it will be sold alongside the current-gen City, it will have a premium positioning in the market. Ahead of its launch we have got the variant-wise features list of the new Honda City.
The next-gen Honda City will be sold in three variants in India – V, VX and ZX. As it turns out, Honda has equipped the City very well right from the base variant.

Which variant makes most sense in terms of features for the new Honda City? Well, if you really want the new City but can’t stetch your budget by long, the base V trim still makes a great buy as it comes equipped with all that’s necessary and shouldn’t leave you wanting for more. If you really like your sunroof and your alloy-wheels, the mid-spec VX trim should fit your bill just right for a compact sedan. However, you will certainly be shelling out more money for the top-spec ZX trim of the new City over top-specs trims of other sedans in this segment.
