There's hot news out of Thailand as a camouflaged 2023 Honda City(GN-series) sedan, touted to be the facelift model, has been spotted there by readers of Headlightmag.
The timeline checks out, and so does the competition's mounting pressure. The GN-series City is pushing three years old since it debuted in November 2019, which means its around half the typical seven-year model lifecycle cars like this see.
That, and there's also the all-new 2023 Toyota Vios(D92A, sold there as the Toyota Yaris Ativ) to contend with, which itself brings a whole list of features whilst being priced very near to the Honda.
It's much too early to tell what's new in the 2023 Honda City facelift, but the covered-up bumpers and side skirts indicate a visual rework. Speculation is rife that it'll see its Honda Sensing ADAS suite further improved. Perhaps the addition of Low-Speed Follow (LSF) that it currently lacks?
The Thai source of this photo says that it'll likely keep the same 1.0-litre turbo (only for the Thai market) and the 1.5-litre petrol-electric hybrid e:HEV powertrains, as expected of these mid-life refreshes.
