Honda recently unveiled the Honda City Sport, a brand-new limited edition of its wildly successful sedan that retails for ₹14.89 lakh (ex-showroom). This launch brings a fresh breath of sporty flair to the already elegant Honda City lineup, offering Indian car enthusiasts a more dynamic and feature-loaded package.
A Sportier Take on a Timeless Classic
For decades, the Honda City has been a symbol of style, comfort, and reliability on Indian roads. With the Sport Limited Edition, Honda aims to spice things up for buyers who crave a little extra visual drama and exclusivity, without compromising the core essence of the City.
This special edition is based on the City V variant and is available with both manual and CVT automatic transmissions. It’s positioned perfectly for those who want a touch of sportiness but don’t want to climb all the way up to the top-end trims.
What’s New in the Sport Edition?
The name says it all — this City comes dressed to impress. Here’s what makes the Sport Edition stand out:
Gloss Black Accents: From the front grille to the ORVMs and door handles, the black treatment adds a sharp contrast and a sporty attitude.
Body Side Moulding and Trunk Spoiler: These additions not only enhance the car’s visual appeal but also improve aerodynamics and lend a performance-inspired character.
Sport Edition Badging: Limited edition badging ensures that this car feels special — because it is.
Exclusive Interior Touches: Though subtle, the interior carries red stitching highlights and a more engaging cabin finish, leaning into the sport theme.
Engine and Performance
There are no mechanical changes, which is actually good news. The City Sport Edition continues to use Honda’s 1.5-litre i-VTEC petrol engine, known for its smooth power delivery and class-leading refinement. With 121 PS of power and 145 Nm of torque, this engine strikes a perfect balance between performance and efficiency.
Buyers can choose between a 6-speed manual transmission for a more hands-on driving experience, or a CVT gearbox that’s smooth and city-friendly.
Safety and Features
Since the Sport Edition is based on the V trim, it comes loaded with essentials:
LED Headlamps with DRLs
Infotainment system with an 8-inch touchscreen that supports Android Auto and Apple CarPlay
Push-button start/stop
Multi-angle rearview camera
Two airbags, ABS with EBD, and more
Honda has cleverly bundled cosmetic upgrades with practical features, making this edition a sweet spot in the City lineup.
Limited But Desirable
Being a limited edition, the Honda City Sport won’t be around forever. Honda hasn’t disclosed the exact number of units to be sold, but one thing is certain — this variant is aimed at customers looking for exclusivity without breaking the bank.
Final Thoughts
The Honda City Sport Limited Edition is a stylish and subtle twist to a sedan that’s already admired across India. Priced at ₹14.89 lakh, it caters to buyers who want a bit more visual appeal and sportiness, wrapped in a car that’s already known for its quality, comfort, and performance.
If you’ve been thinking of bringing home a Honda City and want something a little more special, the Sport Edition might just be the perfect match.
