Honda Greiz unveiled for Chinese market (2017 Honda City)

For those of us in North America, think of this as being a Honda Fit Sedan....

The Honda Greiz will take on the Volkswagen Santana and will sport a 1.5-litre i-VTEC motor

The Interiors are very similar to the Chinese Honda City

The Honda Greiz takes styling cues from the 2016 Honda Civic and the facelifted Japanese Honda Vezel

      Honda has unveiled the new Greiz for the Chinese market which is set to take on cars like the Volkswagen Santana. The car will be officially launched on the coming 7th of November.

Now don’t get confused, Honda has two joint ventures in China namely Dongfeng Honda and Guangqi Honda. Guangqi Honda already sells the City sedan in China so Honda has developed another B-segment sedan in collaboration with Dongfeng Honda. The new Honda Greiz measures 4495mm in length, 1705mm in width, 1477mm in height and sports a 2600mm wheelbase. The car will be offered with a 1.5-Litre i-VTEC petrol engine mated to a CVT gearbox, the same combo that is offered on the Chinese Honda City.

The Greiz is completely redesigned version of the Honda City (something like the Skoda Rapid and Volkswagen Vento in India but by the same company) and it shows. The exterior has a completely new design in the front and the rear whereas the interior is pretty much the same as that of the City. It looks more like the next generation 2016 Civic and the recently facelifted Japanese Honda Vezel. No complaining though as this is a pretty catchy design and will work well with youngsters purchasing their first sedan. On the insides as mentioned earlier, it is pretty much the same as the Honda City which means it gets a 6.2-inch infotainment system, similar chunky steering wheel with mounted audio control buttons and a touchscreen interface for the climate control system.

The Honda City in India comes with 1.5-litre petrol and diesel engines mated to a 5-speed manual and a 6-speed manual gearbox respectively. The petrol also features a new 7-step CVT automatic gearbox which is quite a popular choice among City buyers in India.
