The Honda City Hybrid is available in a sole ZX variant that comes with a host of new features, such as all-four disc brakes, electronic parking brakes with auto hold, Honda CONNECT, and Honda SENSING suite of safety features (camera-based) that further comprises advanced driver-assistance safety techs (ADAS) such as Adaptive Cruise Control, Auto High Beam, Forward Collision Warning, Lane Keep Assist, Lane Departure Warning, Road Departure Mitigation, and Collision Mitigation Braking System.
Powering the City e:HEV is Honda’s intelligent Multi-Mode Drive (i-MMD) powertrain, combining a 98PS/127 Nm 1.5-liter 4-cylinder Atkinson cycle petrol engine, a 0.7kWh lithium-ion battery, and two electric motors (including 109PS/253Nm), generating a combined output to 126PS and 253Nm. Honda claims that the City Hybrid will return a fuel efficiency of 26.5kmpl, which is 8.1 kmpl more than its regular petrol-CVT powertrain. Click here for more details.
Expect Honda to price the City e:HEV between Rs 17.5-18 lakh (ex-showroom), making it a worthy alternative to existing mid-size sedans like Hyundai Verna, Maruti Ciaz, Skoda Slavia, and Volkswagen Virtus.
