The diesel powered City will make use of the same 1.5-litre i-DTEC diesel engine that will be showcased in the upcoming Honda Amaze, Jazz and the Brio based MPV and Jazz based SUV. The 1.5-litre diesel engine is said to spin out 100bhp which should be more than sufficient for the models Honda has in mind. While the upcoming City will not be completely localised, the 1.5-litre diesel mill will be produced locally and additionally a major part of the components will be local in nature. This should help keep tabs on the price of these upcoming diesel models from Honda’s stables. Now, to play the waiting game; stay tuned to CarDekho for further updates on when the City diesel is expected to reach India.
