Honda is all set to launch the new Honda City Hybrid in the Indian market. The City Hybrid will be the most affordable hybrid car in the Indian market and will boast a fuel economy of over 25 kmpl. While the car will make its Indian debut on 14th April 2022, the Honda City Hybrid bookings have already commenced at the dealer level. Here are all the details that you should check out ahead of the launch of the new City Hybrid in India in May.
For starters, the new Honda City Hybrid will use the Honda's i-MMD hybrid technology that boasts two electric motors and a 1.5-L, 4-cylinder naturally aspirated Atkinson Cycle petrol engine. The peak power and torque output from this engine stand at 109 bhp and 253 Nm respectively while the two electric motors together produce an additional 109 bhp of power and 253 Nm of maximum torque. A single, fixed gear ratio will deliver the power to the front wheels while we are also expecting the brand to offer multiple driving modes that include only electric, only petrol, and a combination of petrol and electric. The Thai-spec Honda City hybrid boasts a claimed fuel economy of 27 kmpl.
