The teasers reveal portions of the exterior that have undergone a facelift. Unlike previous reports, the facelifted City will not draw cues from the China-spec Honda Greiz, but rather look to the new Honda Civic and Accord for inspiration. Most of the changes appear to be concentrated on the front-end.

The model teased features LED headlamps with LED DRLs, which flow directly into the larger grille. The bold chrome garnish on the grille flows directly into the headlamps, similar to the new Civic. The bumper has also been redesigned, featuring new fog lamps enclosures and radiator grille, and it also gets new 16 inch alloy wheels with diamond cut finish. The teased model also appears to be finished in new dark blue shade similar to the new Civic's Cosmic Blue metallic.
