2012 New Honda City in India Price, New Honda City
The first generation Honda City was introduced in 1996, quickly responding to the growing needs for automobiles in Asian markets associated with economic growth in the region. The Honda City which is produced in seven countries and enjoyed by customers in 39 nations around the world has been given a new lease of life. A product of Honda Siel Cars India Ltd, the third-generation City is a hot favourite as the luxurious sedan offers a lot to its potential buyers - new engine, new design, more grandeur, increased cabin space, and of course, top-notch performance. Honda City has been regarded a prestigious brand in India since its launch in 1998. It maintains a significant market share in its class and the latest model has taken it popularity to a much higher level.

Exterior
The front is definitely inspired by the likes of the European Honda Civic and the Honda FCX Clarity. The headlamps feature reflector lense instead of the more expensive projector type, which is expected at this price range. The Rear of new city looks like a mini-ish BMW 3-series with aggresive looking bumper and tail lights. The refined aero-dynamics of Honda City heighten its presence wherever it goes. The new car is longer, wider and sturdier as compared to its previous model. The height of the new City has been lowered by 15 mm, with ground clearance remaining the same. The sleeker and sturdier body shape is enticing.

Interior
Everything is laid out nicely, and there is a quality feel to all the controls. The plastics are hard, but in a solid and chunky sort of way. The steering wheel is now adjustable for reach as well as height, which is a really excellent feature for this segment of the market. Another nice touch is the iPod compatible USB connector. Although the Jazz already has this, the City has a very nicely integrated system. The display section of the audio system is hinged, opening to reveal a short USB cable which will accept your iPod cable.

There is a little felt-lined compartment for your iPod. Once installed, you can control your iPod via the car's audio system. The City doesn't have a CD player, so you need an iPod, or other compatible MP3 player to take your songs with you. Still, it's nicely done.

Engine
The brand new edition of Honda City is powered by highly developed 1.5L, 4 cylinder new generation i-VTEC engine, which assures class-leading output and excellent fuel economy. The engine churns out a power of 118 PS @ 6600 rpm and a maximum torque of 146 Nm @ 4800 rpm. The engine is E10 compliant and has Euro IV emission levels, which reduce the negative impact on environment. Honda has launched the eagerly awaited new Honda City facelift in India at a startling price of Rs. 6.99 lakh for the base corporate variant. The new 2012 Honda City facelift is in its sixth generation and will be available in four variants : Corporate, E, S and V with the City V variant sporting an automatic transmission as well as a sunroof.
By positioning the base City Corporate at a killer price tag of Rs. 6.99 lakh, Honda India have put together a right mixture of affordability and features in a premium sedan. This move will also ensure that the new City continues to do good sales wise until the arrival of Honda’s diesel engine somewhere down the road in 2013.
Coming back to the new 2012 Honda City facelift, Honda India has bundled quite a load of features into the new City to increase its desirability in the Indian market. Apart from cosmetic upgrades like the electric sunroof, chrome-plated front grille, updated front bumper, 10-spoke alloy wheels and turn indicators on rear-view mirrors, the new City also gets cruise control and a sun roof (top end only). Safety features on the new 2012 Honda City include Dual front SRS airbags, ABS with EBD and Brake Assist.
