About the Honda City
All Feels. All New. All Vibe.
The City has been the benchmark premium sedan in India for over two decades. This facelift of the fifth generation keeps it current with a bolder Blade-Eye LED design, a larger 25.6 cm touchscreen, and Honda SENSING Level 2 ADAS now available lower down the range.
What stands out is the City e:HEV, a self-charging strong hybrid on Honda's two-motor i-MMD system. This is not a mild assist. The system can drive the wheels on electric power alone, use the petrol engine purely as a generator, or clutch the engine in directly. It makes 125 bhp of system output, returns 27.26 kmpl, and is close to silent in the way an EV is.
It is up against the Hyundai Verna and Volkswagen Virtus. Honda's case for the ₹12.04 lakh to ₹21.04 lakh price range rests on reliability, a roomy cabin and that full-hybrid powertrain, which nothing else in the class offers.
The 5th-generation Honda City mid-life facelift pairs a sharper Blade-Eye signature LED face and Aero-Blade alloys with two powertrains across four trims (SV, V, ZX, ZX Plus), priced ₹12.04-21.04 lakh. The petrol option is a 1.5L i-VTEC DOHC engine making 119 bhp @ 6600 rpm and 145 Nm, mated to a 6-Speed Manual or 7-Speed CVT, returning 17.77-17.97 kmpl. The headline is the City e:HEV strong hybrid: Honda's two-motor i-MMD system uses a 1.5L Atkinson-cycle engine (99 bhp) and an electric traction motor (107 bhp / 253 Nm) for 125 bhp of combined system power, a 172.8 V lithium-ion battery and an e-CVT, delivering a class-leading 27.26 kmpl with seamless EV/Hybrid/Engine drive switching. Every variant from V upward gets Honda SENSING Level-2 ADAS (CMBS, Adaptive Cruise Control, LKAS, Road Departure Mitigation, Auto High-Beam, Lead Car Departure), 6 airbags as standard, and the top ZX Plus adds a 360° camera, ventilated seats, a 25.6 cm touchscreen, an electric sunroof and a 17.7 cm digital cluster.

“The City remains Honda's bread-and-butter win: a refined 1.5L petrol with proven reliability, real efficiency gains from the hybrid option, and crucially, Level-2 ADAS available from the affordable V trim, not locked behind the top variant. At ₹12 lakh for the base and strong feature depth in higher trims, it does well in comfort and tech. The catch is the lack of crash-test validation and the hybrid's premium pricing are trade-offs.
