2014 Honda City Mumbai : First Drive – Interior Design

The New 2014 Honda City is finally here and we get under its skin to find out if it can regain its benchmark status once again

Interior Design


The first thing you notice as you step into the new 2014 Honda City is its large greenhouse. The city feels extremely airy and well lit. The large and well padded seats give extremely good all-round support. Although they do take a little time to get used to, once in right position, one can easily spend all day driving the Honda City over long distances The new Honda City’s interior though is most certainly the biggest upgrade to the car. With a new gloss black finish dominating most of the dashboard, the 2014 Honda City will certainly be one of the new benchmarks for interior design in years to come.









The floating dashboard concept combined with the high quality of plastics is certainly a step up from previous generation Honda All New City car in Mumbai models. The biggest talking point about the City is the new touch screen for the Air Conditioning controls. Placed prominently beneath the central infotainment system, the touch screen controls for the climate controls are as easy to use as conventional knobs and buttons. With a quick scroll feature that in three steps helps the user to scroll from the minimum to the maximum settings for both the fan speed and the temperature control.


The Piano Black theme continues on the infotainment screen bezel too. With a high gloss surface encapsulating the large 5-inch screen and the well crafted buttons, the central dashboard unit looks exceptionally well crafted and embodies a sense of luxury through and through. The quality of the screen too is excellent while viewing images that are produced by the rear parking camera. That said, the interface for the rest of the operating system looks old and completely outdated. In fact the only let down in the entire interior is the interface of the infotainment screen. The driver console that houses the speedometer and tachometer though is extremely well lit up and well crafted. While driving with a light foot in the economy mode, the instrument cluster is bathed in a light green glow that transforms to a sporty blue one when the driver increases the pressure on the accelerator pedal or under spirited driving.


Coming back to the seats, the front seats are large and offer immense comfort when adjusted correctly. Wrapped in a creamy beige shade using good quality perforated leather, the seats feel premium and offer excellent support to the back, lumbar and thighs. The new Honda City features a new special Impact Mitigating Headrests that reduce whiplash injuries at slower speeds. The rear seats though are the big improvement over the last model. With a 50mm increase in wheelbase over the last model, rear leg space has seen huge improvements. The backrests of the front seats too are well contoured to give the rear passenger the most amount of leg space and knee space available. Although the Honda City Car in Mumbai doesn’t have the sheer leg room as compared to a Nissan Sunny for example, the rear seat angles and sheer comfort makes up for it.
