Honda City Old Vs Facelift — Updates And Changes Explained | V3Cars

2023 Honda City Facelift Design And Dimension Changes

The 2023 Honda City facelift offers a couple of design changes, making it stand apart from the model it replaces. Up front, the new City gets a redesigned grille with a sleeker chrome strip. The redesigned lower bumper gets new fog lamp housing. Around the side, the top variants of the City offer a new set of 16-inch dual-tone machined alloy wheels. At the rear, the new City gets a boot lip spoiler, chrome insert on the tailgate and a faux rear diffuser.

Furthermore, the length of the Honda City facelift has increased by up to 34mm over the outgoing model. A new design for the front bumper and an accentuated faux diffuser are the key elements that have resulted in an increase in length. The wheelbase and interior space continues to remain the same as before.
