Leaked brochure scans reveal that the 2017 Honda Shuttle (Honda City Wagon) will get additional safety equipment and added features. The car is expected to go on sale in the coming months.
The 2017 Honda Shuttle will gain the Honda Sensing safety package.

Additional features that could be a part of the Honda Sensing pack include Honda LaneWatch, Blind Spot Information System, Cross Traffic Monitor and Auto High-Beam Headlights.
The Shuttle will also get the latest version of the Honda Sport Hybrid Intelligent Dual Clutch Drive or i-DCD. This system coordinates between the 1.5 L i-VTEC petrol engine, the Lithium-ion battery powered motor and the 7-speed dual clutch transmission.
Other features on offer on the 2017 Honda Shuttle include LED fog lights, updated ETC onboard equipment, new cup holder, Plasmacluster technology equipped dual zone automatic climate control and heated front seats.
The Shuttle is based on the same platform as the new City.
