The Honda City has been a favorite car in India for a long time, known for its nice design, comfy inside, and dependable performance. Looking ahead to 2025, the Honda City is getting even better with a new look, a fuel-saving hybrid engine, and lots of new things to make driving better.
Cool New Look
The 2025 Honda City will likely have a more modern and strong design. Some changes you might see include:
- New Front Grille: A smoother, more noticeable front part with shiny decorations will probably give the new City a more energetic and fancy appearance.
- Sleek LED Headlights with Daytime Lights: Expect sharper, full-LED headlights that also act as daytime running lights. This will help you see better and make the car look up-to-date. The back lights are also expected to be new LEDs, maybe wrapping around the sides, for a special look.
- New Wheel Designs: Fresh and stylish options for the wheels will likely make the car look better on the road.
- Smoother Body Lines: Small changes to the sides of the car might help it move through the air better.
- Updated Bumpers: The front and back parts of the car that take impacts are expected to be redesigned, adding to the new overall look.
Hybrid Engine for Better Fuel Use
A big improvement for the 2025 Honda City is expected to be a hybrid engine, using Honda’s e:HEV technology. This will likely involve:
- 1.5L Petrol Engine: This regular gas engine will work with electric motors.
- Two-Motor System: With a motor for driving and another for making electricity, this system helps the car use power well and switch smoothly between different ways of driving (electric only, both, or gas only).
- Battery: A modern, strong battery will store power that’s captured when you slow down and will power the electric motor.
The hybrid engine is expected to give great gas mileage, maybe even more than 27 kilometers per liter. While we don’t know the exact power numbers for the 2025 hybrid yet, the current City Hybrid has a total of 126 PS and 253 Nm of torque. The regular 1.5L gas engine is also expected to still be available, making around 121 PS and 145 Nm of torque, with both regular and automatic transmission options.
Modern Features
The 2025 Honda City is expected to come with many new and improved features, focusing on technology, safety, and comfort:
- Bigger Touchscreen: A larger screen, maybe around 10.2 inches, with newer graphics and an easier way to use it, is expected. Wireless connection for Android Auto and Apple CarPlay will likely be included.
- Digital Display for Driver: Higher versions might have a fully digital or partly digital screen in front of the driver, showing information in a modern way.
- Honda Connect with More Online Features: Expect a newer version of Honda’s online system with more things you can do remotely, like tracking your car and getting safety alerts.
- Honda Sensing (Safety Features): Including Honda’s advanced safety systems is a big improvement. This might include features like:
- Automatic Speed Control that adjusts to traffic
- System to help keep the car in its lane
- System to help avoid crashes
- System to prevent the car from going off the road
- Automatic high beams
- System that recognizes traffic signs
- 360-Degree Camera: This feature will show a full view around the car, making parking and moving in tight spots easier and safer.
- Wireless Phone Charging: A pad to charge your phone without a cable is expected in some versions.
- Seats that Blow Air: For better comfort, especially when it’s hot, fancier versions might have front seats that blow cool air.
- Large Glass Roof: Having a big glass roof in the top versions will make the inside feel more open and luxurious.
- Automatic AC with Two Zones: This feature, already available in some other countries, might come to India to make both the driver and passenger more comfortable.
- Electric Parking Brake with Auto-Hold: This modern feature makes parking easier and saves space in the middle of the car.
Safety will still be important, with the 2025 Honda City expected to have six airbags as standard in all versions, along with important braking and stability systems.
Expected Price and When It Will Come Out
While Honda hasn’t officially said when the 2025 City will be launched or how much it will cost, it’s expected to arrive in India sometime in late 2025 or early 2026. The prices will likely be a bit higher than the current model, especially for the hybrid versions, because of the new technology and features.
Based on what’s happening in the car market now, the prices for the 2025 Honda City could be:
- Gas Engine Versions: ₹ 12.00 Lakh – ₹ 17.00 Lakh (price before taxes)
- Hybrid Versions: ₹ 20.00 Lakh – ₹ 24.00 Lakh (price before taxes)
These prices are just guesses and could change when the car is officially launched. The Honda City 2025 will still compete with other popular sedans like the Hyundai Verna, Maruti Suzuki Ciaz, Skoda Slavia, and Volkswagen Virtus.
In Conclusion
The 2025 Honda City looks like a big improvement for this popular car. With its new look, the addition of a fuel-saving and powerful hybrid engine, and lots of modern features and safety technology, it’s likely to stay a strong choice in the Indian car market. People who like cars and are thinking of buying one can look forward to a Honda City that’s more stylish, uses less fuel, and has more cool features in the near future.
