The launch date for Honda’s new City sedan in India has been announced. On April 14, 2022, the Honda City hybrid model will be unveiled in India for the first time. This will be Honda’s most important launch of the year.
The Honda City is currently available in both petrol and diesel versions. The Honda City Hybrid was planned to be released in February of this year, but it was postponed owing to restrictions imposed by the Corona pandemic.
The City hybrid will go on sale next month after being introduced in India this week. Honda’s Sensing Technology is expected to be included in the Honda City hybrid. This technology is now being used in global variants of the brand’s hybrid vehicles. Honda Sensing Technology is a set of safety technologies that includes adaptive cruise control, lane departure warning, lane-keep assist, auto high beam assist, and emergency braking, among others.
This will be Honda’s first car in India to have Sensing Technology, as well as a slew of other safety measures. As a result, the Honda City Hybrid will be more expensive than its other models. The fully-loaded variant is projected to have an ex-showroom pricing of Rs 20 lakhs.
The new Honda City Hybrid’s engine will be something exceptional. It will be equipped with Honda’s i-MMD hybrid technology and a hybrid engine. It is equipped with two electric motors and an internal combustion engine (IC).
Furthermore, the engine is a 1.5-litre Atkinson petrol unit that produces 98 horsepower and 127 Nm of torque. This engine will be able to produce 109 horsepower and 253 Nm of torque thanks to the electric motor. The electric motors will be installed in the car’s front wheels and coupled to a single fixed-ratio gearbox.
