Honda City Sport Edition gets a black treated exterior and interior to enhance its sporty appeal compared to the regular model

Honda Cars India has today announced the launch of a new special edition of the City sedan in the domestic market for a starting price of Rs. 14.88 lakh (ex-showroom). Known as the City Sport, it brings darker cosmetic enhancements to elevate its sporty appeal compared to the regular model while no mechanical changes are intended. According to Honda, its availability is limited.

The most noticeable update lies up front where the wide chrome trim has been replaced with a glossy black strip and the front grille has been blacked out to match. Even the outside rear view mirror housings follow suit in dark finish while the boot carries a discreet ‘Sport’ badge to complement the styling. A slim black lip spoiler has also been added for subtle distinction.

Stepping inside the cabin, the changes continue in the Honda City Sport Edition with a fully black theme. The seat upholstery now wears a full black finish, matched by black dashboard inserts. In addition, red contrast stitching appears on the multifunctional steering wheel. No changes have been made under the hood as previously mentioned.

The Honda City Sport grade uses the standard 1.5L four-cylinder VTEC petrol engine which is good enough to generate a maximum power output of 121 PS and 145 Nm of peak torque. Transmission duties are handled by only the CVT automatic unit already available on the regular City as the regular six-speed MT is not offered in the Sport edition.

The cosmetic update is meant to inject a sportier feel into the existing package without introducing performance updates. The sedan sales across the auto industry have fallen big time in recent times as customers prefer to buy SUVs. While minor in nature, the changes could appeal to buyers wanting a more appealing look to the City nameplate.
