2017 Honda City facelift teased again – front shown

The 2017 Honda City facelift has been teased again, and this time, the company is willing to show a little bit more of the Mazda 2 Sedan rival. Specifically, we get to see a brief glimpse of its new front-end that receives hints of the Civic FC.

As we’ve seen in a previous teaser, the City will receive new headlamps clusters that feature L-shaped LED position lamps. There is also a chrome strip near the top edge that flow into the thinner Solid Wing Face grille, which gets a honeycomb surround this time.

Less visible here are the redesigned fog lamp enclosures and what appears to be a wider lower intake. Elsewhere, the City’s hood channels look to be slimmer than before, while other areas like the profile and rear taillights are relatively unchanged.

The full reveal of the new City will take place in Thailand on January 12, 2017, so we’ll have to wait until then to see what Honda has done to revitalise its popular B-segment sedan.

        This car will kill Toyota Vios. Already Malaysians now have opened their eyes and can see how UMW Toyota has cheated Malaysians the past 20 years by giving low spec cars, no VSC and only 2 airbags.

        Only in 2016, when UMW had near ZERO sales, towards end of 2016, they had no choice but to give VSC in their Vios, Altis and Camry.

        the past 15 years, all their cars globally had VSC and more than 5 airbags, except in Malaysia.

        Malaysian government already said last month that cars with VSC can prevent 45% of all accidents and deaths in a given year.

        Since Toyota was no 1 non national car for many years, imagine how many accidents and deaths could have been prevented had UMW given VSC to Malaysians 15 yrs back

        Now you know why this City will again kill Toyota in 2017

      Marketing strategy to stop stupid blunders going to Toyota showroom to book Vios.. Honda playing smart.Make Same Lorr even more suffering.Pretend to drive Lexus LS but actually afford eating Lexus biscuits while driving old gen Vios.

    this city will continue to sell well for years to come, making Honda the number 1 car in Malaysia way above perodua.

        It took many many many years for Malaysians to savour and make love to the Wira. Now and many more years to come, Myvi is the new Wira. 10 years down, 10 more to go.

      1. Factories (yes, 2 factories) in Thailand (Ayutthaya & Prachinburi)
      2. Thailand market way bigger than Boleh-Land
      3. Logistics
      4. Less Government red tapes (no such thing as MITI approval for pricing)
      5. R&D Asia Pacific in outer Bangkok (close to Don Mueung airport)

    Accord,Civic,City,CRV,HRV,BRV,Jazz will outnumbered other sushi again in 2017.High demand mean high future RV.. Toyota model line ups lost all to these models,only depend on Hilux to make UMW make little cent to cover shop rent.

    Minor facelift to city and not so attractive from front and behind. Malaysian also really sure that no free tinted for Hondas car. However all Malaysian agree vios not a good car because only have 2 airbags. Malaysia as the number one country in the world with fatal accident but vios just give us 2 airbags? Honda also must upgrade their car to 10 airbags.
