The 6th generation version of the 2014 Honda City and the
4th generation model for the Indian car market will keep its date with India on
the 25th of November, 2013. The 2014 City’s unveil in India will be a world
premiere for the car. The new City will show a full makeover in terms of
styling while the overall size of the car could get larger. The new car will be
launched in India sometime early next year with customer deliveries to begin
soon after. Honda is bringing the next generation variant of the City with a
diesel engine too because the Japanese carmaker, after having learnt the hard
way, doesn't want to let go of its customers now.
- The Honda City will be offered for the first time in India, and the world, with a turbo diesel engine.
- The 1.5 liter i-DTEC turbo diesel engine of the Amaze compact sedan will power the City in a different state of tune.
- On the 2014 City sedan, the 1.5 liter diesel engine could be more powerful and more torque as the City will be heavier than the Amaze.
- Since the 2014 City will be priced more than the Amaze, Honda might muffle the all-aluminium diesel engine by using additional sound deadening material. Why? C segment sedan buyers whose other options include cars such as the silent Verna and Fiesta diesels won’t want a noisy diesel powered car, that too from Honda. So, a quieter 1.5 liter diesel could be the order of the day for the 2014 City sedan.
- The City will also be available with a petrol engine, as is the case presently.
- A CNG option for the 2014 City remains a possibility.
