How many models are there of Honda City?
Seven generations have been produced worldwide as of 2024, and the number of current City variants varies by market; there isn't a single global model count.
Generations of the Honda City
The City’s lineage comprises seven distinct generations, each bringing new design language, features, and powertrain options. Exact production years differ by region, and some markets may skip generations or sell older versions alongside newer ones.
- Gen 1 — introduced in the early 1980s and laid the groundwork for a global City lineup.
- Gen 2 — mid- to late-1980s revision that broadened its reach.
- Gen 3 — early 1990s redesign with improved packaging and efficiency.
- Gen 4 — late 1990s update with modern amenities and updated engines.
- Gen 5 — early 2000s generation expanding global availability.
- Gen 6 — late 2000s generation featuring refined interiors and efficiency.
- Gen 7 — current generation introduced in the mid-2010s, with contemporary styling and, in some markets, hybrid options.
The seven-generation count reflects Honda’s global product family, even as individual markets may operate with different calendars for each generation.
Regional variants and current lineups
Honda markets the City under different trim levels and sometimes under different naming conventions depending on country. The exact number of available variants for sale at any given time can vary with model year, regulatory rules, and local demand. Below is a region-by-region snapshot that illustrates how variability shows up in practice.
- India and much of South Asia typically present multiple trims per generation, ranging from base to more feature-rich variants; some years include a CVT option and, in recent years, hybrid variants in limited markets.
- In Southeast Asia—countries such as Thailand, Indonesia, and the Philippines—the City is offered in several trims including sport-oriented or higher-spec models, with automatic transmissions and a growing emphasis on connected features.
- China operates its own localized City lineup through joint-venture partnerships; hybrid and electric variants have appeared in line with regional electrification goals.
- Other markets in Europe and the Middle East have historically offered City models with varying degrees of equipment, with newer generations increasingly featuring hybrid options where available.
In practice, the same generation can be sold with different trim packages or regional variants, so the total number of distinct models isn’t fixed globally.
Summary
In short, Honda City includes seven generations worldwide, and the number of current models and trims is market-dependent. To determine the exact lineup in your country, consult Honda’s official local site or a nearby dealer for the latest specifications and availability.
