The City Hybrid will be the most affordable mass-market car in India to get a strong self-charging hybrid tech on board followed by the Toyota Camry. This could help the hybrid variant of the sedan to offer a claimed mileage of up to 28kmpl, almost 10kmpl more than that of its petrol-powered version.

Honda will equip it with its latest eHEV hybrid powertrain, which gets a dual-motor setup along with a 1.5-litre petrol engine (98PS/127Nm). Its most powerful electric motor will produce 109PS/253Nm. The carmaker will provide it with an e-CVT (electronic CVT) gearbox that will send power to the front wheels. It can be driven on pure EV mode, petrol mode or even on a mixture of both.

We believe Honda will bring the Thai-spec City RS (offered in the hybrid guise) to India. It features cosmetic enhancements over the standard model, including sportier bumpers, a revised grille, and boot lid spoiler. Expect it to pack a host of equipment as well such as a semi-digital driver’s display, an 8-inch touchscreen, and auto AC. Honda could also offer it with a segment-first Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS) that include lane keep assist and auto-emergency braking.

The City Hybrid is expected to make its way to India by May and could be priced around Rs 18 lakh ballpark (ex-showroom). It won’t have any direct rivals in India.
