2026 Honda City Facelift Launched at ₹12 Lakh with New Design & Features

India's longest-running sedan nameplate has received its second mid-lifecycle update. The 2026 Honda City has been launched with introductory prices starting at Rs 12 lakh (ex-showroom), bringing a comprehensively revised exterior and a handful of new interior features to the fifth-generation model that first arrived in 2020.
The updated City is offered across four trims: SV, V, ZX, and ZX+. Honda has retained both powertrain options from the outgoing model, keeping the mechanical package unchanged while focusing the update on design and equipment.

2026 Honda City Facelift - Exterior Design Changes

The front end has been completely redesigned. Sleeker headlamps now carry a two-part brow-style LED DRL signature connected by a light bar, flanking a new honeycomb-patterned grille topped by a body-coloured panel that replaces the earlier chrome trim. Honda says the revised units throw light over a longer and wider range than before.

The bumper gets a widened central air intake and new triangular side intakes for a sharper look. The rear receives a two-tone bumper with edge-mounted reflectors and a body-coloured faux diffuser. New dual-tone 16-inch alloys and a new black colour option round out the changes, alongside five carried-over shades.

 Inside, the most notable addition is a 10.1-inch touchscreen, which sits slightly proud of the dashboard rather than flush-mounted. The dual-tone theme, AC vents, centre console, and part-digital instrument cluster carry over unchanged. Tactile HVAC dials and steering-mounted controls are retained. Other new additions include a 360-degree camera and front ventilated seats. The City facelift continues to offer an 8-speaker sound system, ambient lighting, wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, wireless phone charging, a sunroof, and a rear windscreen sunshade. Level 2 ADAS, a lane watch camera, rain-sensing wipers, hill-start assist, and six airbags are also carried forward.

The 2026 Honda City continues with the 1.5-litre naturally aspirated four-cylinder petrol producing 121hp and 145 N · m, paired with either a 6-speed manual or 7-speed CVT. The strong hybrid e: HEV variant uses a 1.5-litre unit making 126hp and 253Nm with an e-CVT, returning a claimed 27.26kpl. Honda is offering a 5-year warranty on all hybrid components.
