It also maintains the Honda’s Eco Assist System, which consists of the ECON mode and Eco-Coaching Ambient Light to help ensure efficient driving.

Looks and size have also been improved as the fifth-version of the Honda City has grown by 111 mm in length and 54 mm in width compared to its predecessor.
