So its official. Honda Seil Cars India launched its latest 2008 Honda City in India on 25th September 2008. The new Honda City was just launched a couple of days back in Thailand. its now geared-up to launch in Delhi on Thursday evening. This New City is much larger than the current one & it has loads of Interior space. One thing which the Indian market would be disappointed of is that, this 2008 Honda City would come only with the topmost version i.e the i-VTEC engine with both MT & AT.
It would be powered with the refined 1.5 Litre engine keeping in mind the fuel economy. The other economy variants would be launched sometime around January 2009 in India hoping to keep the new model in the limelight.
The new generation 2008 Honda City which is powered with 1.5L VTEC engine pumping out 120 BHP of power, has some other exciting features like:
- ABS
- Dual airbags
- All wheel disc brakes
- In Dash CD Player
- Retractable outer rear view mirrors
- Electronic power steering
- Glass-printed antenna
- Fog lamps
- Ultra seats
- Sport rims
- Alloys
- Driver seat arm-rest
- and optitron meter cluster

The new Honda City is based on the latest Jazz compact hatchback. The design is strangely upright and narrow-tracked & with its smooth flowing exterior design it gives the car a sporty and dynamic look. The car is 4395mm long, 1715mm wide, 1470mm tall & is longer and wider by 5mm and 25mm respectively compared to the old model (the old Honda City) but is 15mm shorter. On the other hand the wheelbase has grown by a whopping 100mm over its predecessor resulting in ample room space.
The Indian version would have minor changes though, but its more likely that we would have the same features. Once launched the enthusiastic Honda customers would have to wait further till November 15th to take their delivery as Honda would start the delivery process only then.
Before India, Honda Siel Cars had recently introduced its new Honda City 2009 in Thailand.
