Despite its amazing looks the Honda City is finding it hard to compete against the Maruti Ciaz. As a result, Honda has decided to give the City a facelift in 2017. The facelift would be a first one for the current-generation Honda City. The all new Honda City 2017 will compete directly with the likes of the next generation Hyundai Verna and the Ciaz facelift . The City would get a host of exterior and interior modifications. It is likely that there would be some mechanical changes too but Honda has not revealed it as of now. Below I am mentioning all the information available on the new Honda City 2017.
