India is the second market to have received the all new City sedan which made its global debut in Thailand late last year. Known as the most anticipated new car in India, the new City despite being 109mm longer & 53mm wider than the out-gone model happens to be lighter and more rigid than the latter, thanks to the new platform which has helped Honda to reduce weight.
