The Honda Greiz is essentially a re-skinned City sedan for the Chinese market. In these images released by Dongfeng Honda, the City’s Chinese cousin comes to light. Compared to the City, the Greiz is 45 mm longer, 10 mm wider, while the height and wheelbase remain the same at 1,477 mm and 2,600 mm respectively.
The Greiz’s style involves numerous revisions to the City’s appearance. The front end incorporates a new fascia with finer details, chrome trimming, a chunkier front bumper and sharper headlamps. The re-sculpted sides host fresh character lines, while the sharp waist line is shared with the City. At the back, the City’s tail lamps have been amplified with new C-shaped LED elements. A new rear bumper, some chrome on the boot, and a choice of 15- or 16-inch wheels round things off.
The interiors of the Greiz are almost similar to the City’s cabin, although an all-black theme with piano black inserts can be found here, along with a slightly revised dashboard design. We’re already familiar with the touch-screen equipped infotainment system, the blue bordered dials on the instrument cluster and the touch controlled automatic climate control.
The Greiz is powered by the same a 1.5 litre i-VTEC engine from the Citry, which provides 129 hp at 6,600 rpm and 155 Nm of torque at 4,600 rpm, driving the front wheels via a CVT gearbox. The Honda City is also sold as the Grace Hybrid in Japan.
