Honda City Gets Sporty with New Limited Edition

Honda City Sport Edition Launched at ₹14.89 Lakh: Sporty Looks, Same Trusted Engine

Honda Cars India has launched an exciting new variant of its popular sedan — the Honda City Sport Edition — at ₹14.89 lakh (ex-showroom, Delhi). Positioned just above the standard City CVT V variant, this new trim brings sporty styling enhancements both inside and out while retaining the tried-and-tested mechanical setup.

But what exactly is new in the Honda City Sport, and how does it compare to the standard versions? Let’s take a look.

What is the Honda City Sport Edition?

The City Sport is a limited-edition model of the fifth-generation Honda City. It’s based on the 1.5L petrol CVT version and is aimed at buyers who want something visually more dynamic and premium. Mechanically, it remains the same but gets exclusive cosmetic upgrades, especially targeting the younger and style-conscious audience.

Note: Honda hasn’t disclosed how many units will be sold, so this variant may not be around for long.

Powertrain & Performance

The Honda City Sport continues with the same 1.5-litre, 4-cylinder i-VTEC petrol engine that delivers:

• 119 bhp of power
• 145 Nm of torque
• E20 fuel-compliant
• CVT gearbox with paddle shifters
• Claimed mileage: 18.4 km/l

There are no changes to the engine or transmission, and this variant is available only with an automatic CVT — no manual, no hybrid, and no diesel options are offered.

Exterior Changes: All Things Sporty

The Honda City Sport Edition stands out with several blacked-out elements:

• Glossy black front grille
• Black trunk lip spoiler
• Glossy black shark-fin antenna
• Black outside rear-view mirrors (ORVMs)
• Exclusive ‘Sport’ badging
• New grey multi-spoke alloy wheels

These additions give the City a sharper, bolder, and more performance-inspired look — a noticeable shift from its otherwise elegant design language.

Interior Upgrades: Full Black Ambience with Red Stitching

Inside the cabin, Honda has created a much sportier vibe:

• Full black interior theme (replacing the usual beige or dual-tone)
• Red contrast stitching on seats, steering, and door inserts
• Blacked-out roof liner and pillars
• Dark red dashboard inserts
• Glossy black AC vents
• 7-colour ambient lighting (not available in lower variants)

These cosmetic updates give the cabin a more youthful and premium feel — ideal for buyers looking for a distinct personality in their daily drive.

Features & Safety: ADAS Comes Standard

While no new tech features have been added specifically in the Honda City Sport variant, it inherits a well-equipped package from higher trims, including:

Honda SENSING (ADAS suite) with:

• Adaptive Cruise Control
• Collision Mitigation Braking
• Lane Keep Assist
• Road Departure Mitigation
• Lead Car Departure Notification

Other standard features:

• Touchscreen infotainment system
• Auto climate control
• Push-button start
• Rear camera and sensors
• Multiple airbags and ABS with EBD

Colour Options

The Honda City Sport is available in three shades:

1. Radiant Red Metallic
2. Platinum White Pearl (+₹8,000)
3. Meteoroid Grey Metallic

Our Thoughts

If you’re in the market for a stylish automatic sedan under ₹15 lakh, the City Sport makes a strong case. It doesn’t add new features or power, but the blacked-out design, sporty interior, and trusted CVT performance make it ideal for those who want flair without compromising on comfort or safety.
