Ballade gets a manicure

- MOTORING STAFF

HONDA Motor Southern Africa has announced a mid-life update to its Ballade sedan range.

A cosmetic revamp takes the form of redesigned front and rear bumpers, a revised grille, and new wheel designs. Daytime running lights are now standard across the entire Honda Ballade range and the changes add a fresh, contempora­ry look, especially to the front of the car.

The flagship Executive model gains LED headlights as standard.

The exterior enhancemen­ts are accompanie­d by an upgrade to the Ballade’s cabin. The interior surfaces and materials have been updated with a smarter and sportier vibe, with an improvemen­t to perceived quality.

The Executive version is equipped with features like automatic air-conditioni­ng, leather seats, and smart keyless entry system with engine start/stop button. For enhanced child safety, ISOFIX child seat tethers are now fitted across all Ballade models.

The 2017 Honda Ballade range is available in a choice of four colours. They are Taffeta White, Alabaster Silver Metallic, Modern Steel Metallic and Carnelian Red Pearl. PRICES Honda Ballade 1.5 Trend Manual - R238 800 Honda Ballade 1.5 Trend CVT - R254 200
