2026 Honda City ZX Plus: Exterior

The honeycomb-patterned grille stretches till the width of the fascia to give the sedan a sportier look. Being the fully loaded variant, it gets auto-LED projector headlights with LED DRLs along with a light strip in the upper portion of the bonnet for a connected lighting setup-like effect. That said, there are no fog lamps on offer even with the top-spec ZX Plus variant.

In profile, the facelifted City’s ZX Plus trim comes with ORVM-mounted turn indicators that are available from the base-spec SV variant. The 16-inch dual-tone alloy wheels – which are provided from the mid-spec ZX variant – are also seen on the ZX Plus trim of the new City. Its rear features a ‘clear-lens’ look for the LED tail lights and a body coloured bootlip spoiler. There’s also a bootlid centre moulding finished in black that’s seen from the 1-above-base V variant. If you are confused between the ZX(one below the top trim) and ZX Plus trim, check out the detailed comparison here.
