After its sudden appearance in Thailand, India is the second known country to spot a camouflaged 2023 Honda City (GN-series) sedan, which is going to be facelifted model.

The car itself has been in the market for 3 years (nearly half the typical 5- to 7-year model lifecycle), and don't forget there's the all-new 2023 Toyota Vios (D92A) to worry about as well.

Currently there's no news for an updated Honda City for Malaysia. Our line-up stands as below, at point of publishing:
