New Honda city will launch in India soon

Honda Siel is back with newer version of popular HONDA CITY.They have launch new model in Thailand and it is likely to come in India next month.
The design of the new CITY is based on the total pursuit of a compact, yet dynamic form with road presence. In addition, class-leading interior space was achieved to create a cabin that surrounds the occupants with an open and secure feeling.
The new CITY is equipped with a 1.5-liter i-VTEC engine, which is further advanced in every way, including greater output and fuel consumption. Furthermore, with Honda's unique commitment to provide both advanced safety and environmental performance, the new CITY achieves the highest levels in every area in the effort to become the new bench mark for subcompact sedans.
Most of the additions that would make the new City a charmer are still kept under wraps.

The new City is expected to be positioned in such a way that it would compete with the recently launched SX4 sedan from Maruti Suzuki stables.
