Honda City Sport Edition Launched in India at ₹14.89 Lakh with Bold New Look

Honda has dropped a fresh version of its popular midsize sedan. Say hello to the Honda City Sport Edition. This one’s got a meaner look, darker vibe, and some sporty tweaks. It’s made for folks who want more style without changing the car they already love.

Fresh Black Details

First thing you notice? The blacked-out elements. No more shiny chrome grille. It now gets a gloss-black finish. Even the rear spoiler and side mirrors come in black. It gives the sedan a bold, aggressive feel.

Wheels? They’re metallic grey alloys. Sharp and clean. On top, you get a gloss-black shark fin antenna. There’s also a small ‘Sport’ badge on the boot. Not loud, just classy. Together, these details change the car’s attitude on the road.

All Black Cabin

Inside, it’s all-black everything. But wait, there’s more. Red inserts on the dash. Red stitching on the seats. And even red-thread on the steering wheel.

Honda didn’t just throw in a few new covers. They’ve made it feel premium. Soft-touch door panels, leatherette seats, and a smart layout. Everything looks well planned.

Reliable Petrol Engine

Under the hood, there’s no change. It’s the trusted 1.5-litre i-VTEC petrol engine. This one makes 119 bhp and 145 Nm torque. Smooth, proven, and still fun to drive.

You only get a CVT automatic option. No manual this time. But it’s responsive. Good for daily drives or even weekend getaways. Honda claims 18.4 km/l fuel economy. That’s solid for a car this size.

Features Stay Intact

The City Sport keeps all the good stuff. There’s an 8-inch touchscreen. It supports both Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. You also get voice command and automatic climate control.

The audio system is a 4-speaker setup. Not fancy, but decent. There’s also a dual-pod instrument cluster with a multi-info display. And yes, Honda’s Level 2 ADAS is part of the deal.

Three Paint Options

This edition comes in three colors:

  • Platinum White Pearl
  • Radiant Red Metallic
  • Meteoroid Gray Metallic

Each one pairs well with the black treatment. Especially the white. That contrast really pops.

Who It Competes With

The Honda City Sport Edition goes head-to-head with some strong rivals. That includes:

  • Volkswagen Virtus GT
  • Skoda Slavia Style
  • Hyundai Verna Turbo

But City still holds its ground. It’s known for comfort, build, and resale value. Plus, the Sport Edition gives it a new edge.

Pricing and Availability

This edition starts at ₹14.89 lakh (ex-showroom). It’s already at dealerships. Being a limited edition, only a few units will be out.

If you’ve always liked the City but wanted a bit more personality, this one’s worth checking out. It’s not over-the-top. Just right.
