Ballade gets a manicure
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
