New Honda City is back as the country’s largest selling mid-size sedan. It has been on the best seller’s list ever since the new-gen was launched back in January 2014. In fact, since then the company has sold 1.6 lakhs units of the fourth generation car. While the competition has been trying hard, specially the Verna, they have failed to dislocate it from the pole. Honda, on the other hand, is further consolidating its lineup and has made minor changes to the variants.
