Now for the first time, the 7th gen Honda City test mules have been spotted in India which will be the second market after Thailand to receive the new City, most likely towards the beginning of 2020.
Although the 7th gen City will retain its familiar shape, it will get fully redesigned bumpers, more aggressive headlamps, Honda’s signature solid wing grille and a flatter rear-end making it look bolder and sportier. Although interior images are not available at this stage, it is expected to receive a thorough redesign and since it’s also being reported that the new Honda City will sit on a longer wheelbase, it will offer an even spacious cabin and extra leg room for rear passengers.
