I stand in front of it. White pearl color shimmering under sun. The new LED DRLs. The slim chrome strip on grille. Headlights look angrier, in a good way. Not scary, but serious.
Side profile? Bit familiar, but curves now more defined. The shoulder line slicing across the doors. Gives that premium vibe. Alloy wheels? Nice. Simple yet confident. Rear? Subtle spoiler lip. Honda badge shining.
Hop inside. Doors feel light, yet solid enough. The car smells… new. Like fresh plastic and dreams.
Interior & Comfort
Inside, Honda always plays safe. But this time? Little boldness. The dashboard feels premium. Soft-touch materials on top trim. Center console redesigned. Now more user friendly.
Seats? Oh, pretty comfortable. Even after an hour-long test drive, my back didn’t scream. Cushioning good. Leather option available on higher variant. Lower variants get fabric but still decent.
Rear seats? Legroom surprisingly generous. Headroom okay too. If you taller than 6 feet, you might touch roof little bit.
Air conditioning? Chiller. Even on hot Lahore noon, cabin felt ice box. Rear AC vents present too.
Driving Experience
Turn the ignition. The 1.5L i-VTEC engine purrs alive. Smooth. Gear shift? CVT. Some people hate CVTs. But this one? Acceptable. Not sporty but practical.
I press the pedal. Car moves gentle at first. You feel the linear acceleration. Not instant kick, but no sluggishness too.
City driving? Superb. Steering light. Easy u-turns. Parking? Breeze.
On highway? At 100 km/h, engine hums calmly. Cabin quiet. Overtaking? Possible, but don’t expect racecar.
Suspension? Tuned for comfort. Bumps disappear. On broken roads? Not magic carpet, but comfy enough.
Brakes? Confident bite. Not too sharp.
Visibility? Excellent. Big windows. Rear camera helps a lot during reverse.
Fuel & Mileage Efficiency
Mileage matters. Especially when petrol prices break your heart daily.
During my test, city driving gave around 14 km/l. Highway? Touched 18 km/l easily if you go gentle.
Honda promises efficiency and, honestly, they delivered here.
Fuel tank capacity? Around 40 liters. So, you can plan longer trips without many refills.
Features & Tech
Honda City 2025 comes loaded.
Touchscreen infotainment system. Apple CarPlay. Android Auto. Decent response. Sound system? Average, not bass-heavy.
Digital-analog instrument cluster. Displays all needed info.
Auto climate control. Push start. Smart entry. Steering mounted controls.
Safety? ABS, EBD, dual airbags standard. Higher variants get 6 airbags. Rear parking sensors. Honda’s lane watch camera in top variant.
Cruise control present too. But only on higher trims.
Variants & Colours
Honda knows people love choices.
Variants? S, V, VX, ZX. In simple words — basic to fully loaded.
Engine same in all. Differences mainly in features, interior materials, wheels.
Colors?
• Platinum White Pearl
• Lunar Silver Metallic
• Modern Steel Metallic
• Golden Brown Metallic
• Radiant Red Metallic
My pick? White. Looks bossy and clean.
Advantages
• Reliable. You know Honda engines last.
• Strong resale. City is favorite in used car market.
• Comfortable cabin. Good space for family.
• Fuel efficient. Saves wallet.
• Modern looks. Fresh face on old soul.
• Good after-sales network.
Disadvantages
• Pricey top variant. May pinch budget.
• CVT not for enthusiasts. If you love manual feel, you’ll miss it.
• Some cheap plastics in lower trims.
• No hybrid option yet.
• Not so thrilling on highways.
Personal Opinion
I’ve driven many sedans. Some flashy. Some boring. Honda City 2025? Somewhere between.
It won’t excite you like a sports car. But it won’t bore you like a base model hatchback either.
You can take it to office, long drives, or weddings. People notice. But not in a "look at me, I’m rich" way. More like "oh, nice car bro."
Seats comfy. Mileage good. Maintenance? Honda workshops everywhere. Parts available.
Is it perfect? No. But nothing is.
If I had to score it on a plate of Biryani (because, why not), I’d say it’s like that perfectly balanced biryani — spicy, aromatic, satisfying. Not the biryani that burns your tongue or too bland.
Summary
The Honda City 2025 isn’t trying too hard. It knows what it is — a practical, urban-friendly sedan with a sprinkle of style.
Honda gave it a facelift, added tech, polished comfort, and kept reliability strong.
For families? Great pick. For bachelors who want loud exhaust and drifting? Nope.
It sips fuel slowly. Looks sharp enough to flex on Instagram.
If you want a sensible car which won’t leave you stranded or embarrassed, City may be that.
In short? New City, new charm. Same old Honda trust.
