Honda has introduced the fourth generation of the Japan-developed City in New Delhi, India. The mid-size sedan was created at Honda's R&D center in Tochigi, Japan and represents the firm's first model to implement the new "EXCITING H DESIGN!!!" styling language. The vehicle has the same 4400mm length and 1695mm width as the previous generation, but its height has increased by 10mm to 1495mm while the wheelbase has been stretched by 50mm to 2600mm. Power will come from a 4-cylinder, 1.5-liter DOHC i-DTEC diesel engine created exclusively for the Indian market which uses the latest Earth Dreams Technology. There will also be an upgraded 4-cylinder, 1.5-liter SOHC i-VTEC gasoline engine promising to bring a better balance between performance and fuel economy. Already available on order, the new Honda City will go on sale in January 2014 in India and will be followed by 60 other markets.
