The 2025 Honda City is launched: Sportier design, added electronic parking brake, with prices starting from approximately 506 million VND
The facelifted 2025 Honda City has officially been introduced, bringing notable design and feature upgrades.
The Honda City 2025 facelift version has launched, initially available in the Brazilian market and set to reach India and other markets soon. The car has been enhanced with updates in both design and features.
The overall design of the 2025 Honda City has been refined for a more imposing and impressive look. The sedan and hatchback versions now have more distinct design differences than before. The sedan’s front end has been fully redesigned, featuring a new grille with horizontal slats and a chrome strip, while the rear bumper adds horizontal reflectors. These touches give the facelifted City a sportier and more refined appearance. In terms of size, the new Honda City sedan has increased in length by 25 mm.
For the 2025 Honda City hatchback, the car also sports a refreshed grille and bumper. At the rear, the bumper now includes a lower black frame for a fresh look, and the hatchback version is 2 mm longer than before.
Both versions come with new alloy wheels, sized at 15 or 16 inches depending on the variant, with two-tone wheel options available for select trims.
One of the most significant upgrades for the 2025 Honda City is the electronic parking brake with a Brake Hold function, available on the EX, EXL, and Touring trims. All variants, except for the standard LX, now come with disc brakes. Other upgrades include wireless charging and wireless connectivity for Android Auto and Apple CarPlay. The front seats feature two USB Type-A charging ports, while the rear seats have two USB Type-C ports. The highest trim also includes a dual-zone automatic climate control system. MyHonda Connect is available on select trims.
According to Honda, the infotainment touchscreen has been updated with new graphics, an improved interface, and higher resolution, while the rear camera now offers clearer resolution. Depending on the variant, the instrument cluster is either a 4.2-inch or 7-inch color TFT screen.
From the EX trim upwards, the 2025 Honda City also comes equipped with the Honda Sensing system, including ADAS features like adaptive cruise control, lane-keeping assistance, forward collision warning, and auto-adjusting headlights. The EXL and Touring trims also feature blind-spot monitoring, and all versions come with six airbags.
Both the sedan and hatchback versions of the new Honda City come with a 1.5L, 4-cylinder inline, naturally aspirated engine supporting both gasoline and biofuel. This engine produces 126 horsepower, with torque reaching 155 Nm when running on ethanol and 152 Nm on gasoline. The familiar CVT transmission remains in use.
In Brazil, the standard Honda City LX is priced at 117,500 R$ (about 506.5 million VND). The highest Touring variant is priced at 142,400 R$ (614 million VND) for the sedan and 141,400 R$ (610 million VND) for the hatchback. These prices are slightly higher than the current models in Vietnam (499-569 million VND).
With the international launch of the 2025 Honda City, we can expect similar upgraded models to reach Vietnam in the near future.
