The Honda City e:HEV is a strong hybrid sedan, which means it uses both a petrol engine and two electric motors to drive the car. Unlike a normal petrol car, the City e:HEV can switch between petrol power, electric power, or a mix of both, all automatically. You don’t have to press any buttons or charge anything; the car does everything on its own to save fuel and run smoothly.
Engine and Power
This sedan is equipped with a 1.5-litre Atkinson-cycle petrol engine paired with two electric motors. Together, they deliver a combined power of 124 bhp or 126 PS and a torque of 253 Nm from the electric motor.
Mileage
Honda claims that City e:HEV delivers 27.13 kmpl mileage, which is much higher than a normal petrol sedan. This makes the car perfect for city traffic, where hybrids perform best because the electric motor takes over at low speeds. The car uses an e-CVT automatic transmission, making the drive smooth and effortless, especially in bumper-to-bumper traffic.
Comfort, Space and Practicality
The Honda City e:HEV is a fairly long sedan at 4583 mm, giving it a spacious cabin for five people. It sits on a 2600 mm wheelbase, which helps with stability and a comfortable ride.
Because the battery pack sits in the rear, the boot space is reduced to 306 liters, instead of the 506 liters available in the regular petrol City. Still, it’s enough for weekend luggage. It has ground clearance of 165 mm, which is decent for Indian road conditions.
Features
Just like any premium sedan today, the City e:HEV comes loaded with features like 8-inch touchscreen, Android Auto & Apple CarPlay, 7-inch full-color TFT digital instrument cluster, wireless charger, push-button start/stop and sunroof.
Looking at the safety features this sedan is equipped with 6 airbags, ABS, EBD, Brake Assist, Vehicle Stability Assist, Hill Start Assist, Electric parking brake with auto hold and Rear-view camera.
ADAS
The e:HEV is the only City variant that brings Honda Sensing, which is an advanced driver assistance system and this includes Adaptive Cruise Control, Lane Keep Assist, Collision Mitigation Braking, Road Departure Mitigation and Auto High Beam. These features help the driver stay safer and reduce the chances of accidents.
