Honda City is known as one of the most selling fuel-efficient cars when it comes to budget sub-compact sedans. The 6th-generation launched in 2014 received a lot of international awards including the Middle East Car of the year award, In short, it was a huge success all around the international markets. In 2015 Honda decided to launch the sixth generation of Honda City under the name of Honda Grace in the Japanese market while Honda City is in the Indian market. The City received a major upgrade as it was more of a Honda Fit successor rather than the 5th gen Honda City. The display cluster is the same as in Honda Jazz Hybrid along with the gear-lever. Honda Grace is claimed to be the most fuel-efficient sedan selling in the market right now, as claimed by Honda Japan.

Great Looking Exterior of Honda Grace:

However, the list of differences includes a new front grille with a blue chromed grill, at the back, it gets new LED taillights and the trunk consists of an on-trunk spoiler much like a lip on top. Coming toward the wheels Honda Grace received the same wheels as in Honda Jazz Hybrid; 15-inch wheels in AWD with wheel hub caps and 16-inches wheels in two-wheel drive (2wd). Honda Grace comes with a longer wheelbase than its previous 5th generation. The vehicle is lower and longer than before with a wheelbase being 70mm longer with 2600mm in total, A longer wheelbase thus ensures a more comfortable and stylish look as compared to the old version. The facelift launched in 2017 came with LED headlamps with DRL (daytime running lights) along with an upgraded front chrome grill.

Fascinating interior of Honda Grace Hybrid:

Honda Grace offers some fancy interior looks and features as compared to the 5th generation; It comes with additional equipment such as an automatic climate control touch panel, a Navigation display of 5-inches, 8 speakers with an audio Bluetooth option, and a reverse camera. However, the cool features that remain missing in most budget sedans are rear ac vents and 4 power outlets. In terms of comfort, the seating area of the front seat is lowered to 10mm and 25mm to the back in order to ensure more comfort while sitting. Similarly, rear seats were lowered to 20mm with a legroom of 275mm so you can stretch and cross your legs easily when sitting in the back seat. The rear seats are designed to fold down, thus providing a cargo area connecting it to the trunk of 430-litres which is an impressive size for a local sedan. Honda Grace’s ground clearance is set to sufficiently enough of about 590mm.
