2017 Honda City Facelift Leaked

A couple of absolutely clear pics from Thailand appended below reveal the complete car. Yes, it is just a minor cosmetic enhancement (in terms of design) but the good thing is – they have used a thinner and less gaudy chrome bar at the grille! Day before yesterday, the India-spec 2017 City facelift was also snapped.

This comes days after the leaks of the Thailand-spec car which revealed the basic understanding of how deep will the changes be.

And as compared to the Thailand-spec City, the India-spec car only gains different diamond-cut alloy wheels (which have a very close resemblance with Maruti Suzuki S-Cross’ alloys!). The front is not visible in these pics coming from India but is is expected to be very similar to the Thai car.

As compared to the existing car, we can notice the thinner chrome bar on the honeycomb grille which is also underlined by (more) chrome in that honeycomb grille. Minor changes to the design of the headlamps and the front bumper can also be noticed.

At the rear, the car gets new tail lamps and spoiler but the boot lid and the overall design remains absolutely same. The only change is the new bumper which tries to lend the car sporty looks. It features a grille-like structure surrounded by black-outlined reflectors on both ends. There are minor changes expected on to the interiors as well.

Honda has officially started teasing their new 2017 City facelift in Thailand. In addition to the details we have talked about, the teaser reveals the headlamp which has a chrome strip at the top and the sweeping LED DRLs (in fact that headlamp may be sporting all-LED lamps).

Honda is expected to do some rejig with the variant lineup of City in India. There may be a new top of the line VX+ (or ZX) variant on offer which may get new 16 inch alloy wheels, 6 airbags – side and curtain and 7 inch touchscreen infotainment system with Android Auto and Apple CarPlay along with leather seats.

In terms of mechanicals, expect the same 1.5 liter petrol and diesel engine combinations to continue to do duty on the sedan. For the petrol variant, there will be a CVT unit apart from the manual transmissions (for both petrol and diesel).
