What Will Happen to the Honda City 4th Gen
Honda, the Japanese carmaker in India has already launched the fifth generation of its highly popular car, the Honda City. Surprisingly Honda will not discontinue the fourth generation but will sell it alongside the newer car. Is Honda competing with its own car?

The Honda City always stood out for high pricing and the new model is no different. Both the cars, however, are placed quite close to each other. The newer City however has freshness to its main advantage.
Any discounts?
According to our sources, Honda will heavily discount the older generation Honda City. There is an expected price difference of Rs.1.94 lakh between the top variants of both the cars. Honda may also eliminate the lower-priced variants of Honda City to remove the competition from its own stable.

Why is the old model continued?
Retaining the older generation of the Honda City is a feedback response from the past generation changes. Honda says that with every generation change of the Honda City, people have shown disappointment of discontinuation of the older one. So this time they have decided to work on this and keep the older generation of the Honda City along with the new model.
