Pretty similar to Mitsubishi India, popular Japanese car maker Honda has launched a new ‘sporty’ variant of its City sedan in Brazilian car market.
Quite obviously, the new variant of the City doesn’t get any mechanical changes and makes do some cosmetic updates to make it more sporty. The car has been optimistically named as the ‘Honda City Sports’ and is based on the entry level City DX.

On the inside, the car comes with dual tone black-silver upholstery and sports pedals.
Safety features on the car include Dual SRS airbags at front and ABS+EBD equipped disc brakes on all four wheels.

That sounds like City V (MT) with few more add-ons. It will be good if they do not charge too much, somewhere in between S and V model.
