Honda Cars India has confirmed that it will unveil the City Hybrid sedan on April 14, 2022. The model, which had its world premium in mid 2020, was originally scheduled for India launch in 2021. Though, it was delayed due to pandemic and the global supply constraints. Here’re key details of the upcoming Honda City Hybrid sedan that we know so far.
Specs :
The new City Hybrid’s powertrain configuration includes Honda’s i-MMD hybrid technology, which includes a 1.5L, 4-cylinder naturally aspirated Atkinson Cycle petrol engine and two electric motors. The gasoline engine produces a maximum of 98bhp and 127Nm of torque.
The integrated starter generator (ISG) electric motor has a claimed power of 109bhp and torque of 253Nm. It sends power to the front wheels through a single fixed-gear ratio. The hybrid configuration of the sedan is likely to include three drive modes: running solely on internal combustion engines, running solely on electric motors, and a combination of both.

Mileage :
The new City Hybrid sedan is expected to have a fuel economy of more than 27kmpl. It’s worth noting that its Thai-spec and Malaysia-spec models both promise 27.8kmpl and 27.7kmpl, respectively. These figures are NEDC (New European Driving Cycle) certified. It will be around 20kmpl in real-world conditions.
Honda already sells the City with a hybrid powertrain in a few global markets. The Malaysian-spec City RS shares design cues with the global-spec City RS. The model that will be introduced in India will most likely receive the same treatment. The sedan has more aggressive front and rear bumpers, as well as black accents on the front grille, bumpers, and ORVMs.
The interior is all black. The City Hybrid will already be equipped with Honda Sensing technology, which includes a number of active safety features such as emergency braking, lane keeping assist, adaptive cruise control, lane departure warning, auto high beam assist, and a front collision warning system.
