EV Drive Mode, Hybrid Drive Mode, and Engine Drive Mode are the three driving modes available on the Honda City e:HEV. Based on varied driving scenarios, the car’s clever Power Control Unit (PCU) effortlessly and automatically shifts between three modes.

The City e:HEV is a self-charging hybrid featuring a two-motor setup, a 1.5-litre i-VTEC petrol engine, and an e-CVT (Electronic Continuous Variable Transmission). To power the electric motor, the system includes an Intelligent Power Unit (IPU) with a sophisticated Lithium-ion Battery. Thanks to brake regeneration, the battery gets charged.
