What’s New?

While the overall design of the compact sedan remains unchanged, the Sport edition brings in new blacked-out elements that makes it look sportier than the regular model.

The redesigned grille, outside rearview mirrors (ORVMs) and the boot spoiler are finished in black,  giving it a striking look. To gel along with the overall theme, this variant sits on grey-coloured 15-inch alloy wheels. It also gets a ‘Sport’ badge on the tailgate to differentiate it from the regular variants. You can buy it in 3 monotone exterior hues:

• Radiant Red Metallic

• Platinum White Pearl

• Meteoroid Gray Metallic

Inside, it gets an all-black dashboard with a contrasting red trim that runs from one AC vent to another and features red ambient lighting. The seats and doorpads are finished in black leatherette with red stitching that makes it look sporty. The 3-spoke steering wheel also gets a similar finish, while the AC vents now feature gloss black surrounds.

Other than this, everything else is the same as the V variant of the regular City.
