The latest Honda City 2026 is available in multiple variants, and the 1.2L CVT is the most popular automatic choice for city commuting:
| Variant | Ex-Factory Price (PKR) |

| Honda City 1.5L ASPIRE CVT | ~PKR 6,069,000 |
| Honda City 1.5L ASPIRE S CVT | ~PKR 6,149,000 |

On-road prices (what you pay at delivery) are higher due to filer vs non-filer taxes, registration fees, insurance, and provincial charges.
Filers pay significantly lower taxes than non-filers, which can affect the final cost by hundreds of thousands of rupees.

Buyer Tips (Pakistan)
Book Early: Delivery times can vary widely — sometimes 1–3 months.
Filers Save More: Always check how much tax you’ll pay as a filer vs non-filer.
Negotiate Add-Ons: Factory accessories are often overpriced — consider getting them aftermarket.
Test Drive: Always test drive to ensure you’re comfortable with ride & handling.
(Some buyers say the ride is firm, not soft.)

Balanced efficiency & comfort
Strong resale value
