The sedan will continue to offer the powered sunroof.
The report claims that the City ZX will sport padded materials on the dashboard to offer premium and upmarket feel. The brochure reveals that the fifth-gen City will be the longest and the widest in its category, which ensures segment-leading cabin space.
In terms of safety and security, the all-new Honda City ZX gets six airbags, traction control, electronic stability programme and hill-start assist. The new model also gets low-tyre-pressure warning system and three-point seatbelts for the rear middle passengers. This variant also gets LED headlamps and LED tail-lights.

For the first time, the diesel City will be offered with a CVT gearbox. This will be similar to the Amaze diesel CVT; however, it is early to comment whether the power and torque figures will be dropped or not. The new City will be positioned slightly premium over the competition. It is likely to be priced in the range of Rs 10 lakh to Rs 15 lakh.
