Sportier Look, Same Trusted Foundation
The same 1.5L i-VTEC petrol engine has been retained by the new Honda City Sport Edition, which offers a power and efficiency balance. What truly sets this edition apart are the visual upgrades.
Major cosmetic revamping has been undertaken in the sedan:
- Traditional chrome elements have been removed to give it a bolder look, replacing them with gloss-black treatments.
- Instead of chrome elements gloss black finish has been given. A new black theme has been given to the front grille, side mirrors, rear spoiler, shark fin antenna, and alloy wheels.
A unique ‘Sport’ badge has been placed on the boot lid, which confirms its identity. It has been made available in three colours:
- Radiant Red Metallic,
- Platinum White Pearl, and
- Meteoroid Grey Metallic
The sedan is visually striking irrespective of the colour.

What’s New Compared to the Regular City?
Although the mechanical specs remain unchanged, the Honda City Sport Edition gets several cosmetic upgrades and two new features:

However, it misses some features available in higher trims, like:
- Sunroof
