Speaking about new Honda Greiz, it gets a redesigned exterior. In the front it gets a more sculpted bonnet, flowing into front bumper. Headlight design remains same, but gets projector headlamps with LED DRL and LED turn indicator. Replacing the chrome grille in front is a thick glossy slat in piano black. In centre is the Honda logo.
