The Honda City e:HEV will source the same 1.5-litre, four-cylinder naturally aspirated petrol engine from the standard sedan, but this time around, the petrol mill is assisted by an electric motor powered by a lithium-ion battery pack integrated in its boot.
The Honda City e:HEV hybrid sedan has been unveiled in India. Now it’s the first time Honda will offer the City with a full-fledged hybrid system in India and the only car from the brand to have received a similar treatment was the Honda Accord, back in 2016. While the standard Honda City is being offered in three trim levels in India- V, VX and ZX, the City e:HEV will be available only in the range-topping ZX variant. And only the latest fifth-generation City gets the hybrid tech while the fourth-generation car that’s still on sale in India will come only with combustion engines as standard.
