2026 Honda City Design Changes
On the exterior, the new Honda City facelift features a redesigned grille with blacked-out chrome and connected LED DRLs. The window line and door sills now receive a sporty blacked-out chrome treatment, while the front and rear bumpers get contrasting black trim. Moving towards sides, the new City appears largely similar to the pre-facelift model. However, the newly-designed blacked-out alloy wheels make it look slightly refreshing.
