Honda City new variants launched

When Honda launched City way back in the '90s, it captured the market. And hearts too. But as time passed, Honda's reluctance on bringing a diesel engine and tough competition resulted in loss of sales. 

Don't get us wrong, Honda City is a nice car but competition offers more. 

Now, Honda might have taken their own sweet time to understand this but they finally have. So here, along with the CNG-ready City, Honda has introduced a new trim level, available with both Automatic Transmission (AT) and Manual Transmission (MT) variants.

Called AVN (short for Audio Visual Navigation), the car, as the name suggests gets a number of in-car entertainment and navigation features. The list includes Leather upholstery, Leather wrapped steering wheel and leather wrapped gear knob (only MT). In-car entertainment includes a touchscreen system with a DVD player with USB/iPod and Auxiliary-in connectivity. 

Honda has made the AVN trim level available on City's V grade only, so apart from the above mentioned, the feature list also includes the goodies from V grade. 

And now, the pricing: The Manual Transmission AVN is priced at Rs.9,72,000 while the Automatic costs Rs.10,46,000, ex-showroom Del
