The compact sedan is a radical change from the previous generation car, with a totally new exterior style, with certain visual elements of the stylish Accord. The redesigned exterior is joined by a new 1.4 i-VTEC engine, which gives the Honda City significantly more power and better performance.
Design changes are complemented by several improvements to the noise and vibration technologies applied to the harshness of the car. A host of new functions in the body, interior, suspension, engine and supports were included to bring refinement to the latest Honda sedan. The enhancements allow customers to make the best NVH of the new audio system which offers iPod connectivity and better sound quality.
The new engine gives the Honda City 100PS, a healthy 17 PS increase over the previous model. This extra power enables the new Honda City complete the benchmark 0-100 km / h in just 11.8 seconds for the manual version, an improvement of 1.6 seconds. The automatic version reached 100 in 14.7 seconds, nearly half a second faster than before.
The manual transmission for Honda City is a modified version of the current gearbox, with carbon synchromesh for smoother changes, improved refinement and a new set of optimized gear ratios.

With a sport mode shift logic and ratios the improvement of the new transmission better compliments the new car more powerful engine.
