Japanese automaker Honda has introduced the all-new City e:HEV hybrid in India at Rs 19.50 lakh (ex-showroom). The hybrid sedan is available in five paint options in a single variant, the ZX.
The Honda City e:HEV is powered by a 1,497cc, inline, four-cylinder, naturally aspirated, Atkinson-cycle petrol engine linked to a self-charging battery pack and a dual electric-motor setup. Coupled with the hybrid system is an e-CVT automatic gearbox. The engine produces 97bhp/127Nm, while the electric motor delivers 107bhp/253Nm. Meanwhile, the combined power output is rated at 125bhp. As claimed, the hybrid sedan gives out fuel efficiency of 26.5kmpl.
The City hybrid gets an exterior design identical to its combustion-engine counterpart. The hybrid sedan, however, comes with subtle updates such as redesigned front and rear bumpers, a little boot-mounted spoiler, and new 16-inch alloy wheels.
The interior of the City hybrid features a dual-tone Ivory and Black leather upholstery. Additionally, it gets a semi-digital instrument cluster, an eight-inch infotainment touchscreen, Apple CarPlay, Android Auto and weblink support, six airbags, and next-gen Honda Connect with Alexa, Google voice assistant compatibility and smartwatch support.
The City e:HEV gets a host of features such as six airbags, Honda Sensing – a suite of Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS), a left-lane watch camera, a hill start assist, a tyre pressure monitoring system, rear-wheel disc brakes, vehicle stability control with electronic stability control, agile handling assist, traction control, and an electric parking brake with auto-hold function.
