Information about the next-gen City with conventional iteration and hybrid is not much abundant. It is in all likelihood that the new-gen sedan will witness some physical and mechanical changes pursuant to the new Bharat Stage 6 norms coming into effect in April 2020 while the hybrid version is in the works to hit the market a later on. Design, of course, will be a top priority. The next-gen City is expected to set itself apart from the predecessors and follow the route of the all-new Accord and Insight. That said, the model may take the Honda Design C 001 Concept as an inspiration. While the latest-gen entry-level Honda Amaze is leading the sales of Honda sedans in India, the new version of Honda City whose nameplate has been the best seller in the C-segment sedan sales globally is anticipated to make a better deal.
