By Auto Crat<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Honda is striking back at the competitors that have surfaced in India, especially in the mid sedan segment where it\u2019s City, once a favourite, has taken a hit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n As you read this, the long-awaited Honda City Hybrid will have been unveiled in India. This was to have happened on April 14. This is Honda\u2019s effort at bringing a globally successful brand identity to India, just like it did when it brought the City in the first place. Plus, this will be a reasonably priced EV as well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The Honda City Hybrid was introduced globally in August 2020. Honda had planned for its introduction in India in 2021 itself, but it got delayed because of the Covid-19 pandemic that created lockdowns and production bottlenecks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Honda starts a a modest target of being able to sell around 250-300 units of the City hybrid each month. This is just 10 percent of the regular model\u2019s average monthly sales figure. If this catehces on, volumes will follow, feels the company.<\/p>\n\n\n\n There is a catch for this. The top-end variant of the City hybrid is expected to come in at around Rs 20 lakh, ex-showroom. That is a tad on the higher side, as compared with to the regular City, but is pretty regular price as far as current EV prices go.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Special Features<\/mark><\/strong> The City with hybrid powertrain is already on sale in select global markets. Its Malaysia-spec version shares design elements with the global-spec City RS. The automaker is likely to give the same treatment to the model that\u2019s coming to India. The sedan carries sportier front and rear bumpers and black accents on the front grille, bumpers and ORVMs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Interior has all-black theme. The company has already revealed that the City Hybrid will come with Honda Sensing technology that includes several active safety features such as emergency braking, lane keeping assist, adaptive cruise control, lane departure warning, auto high beam assist and front collision warning system.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Reduced Boot Space, Increased Kerb Weight<\/strong> :Honda has equipped the hybrid City with quite a sizable battery pack, that not only makes it heavier by 110 kg, it also eats into its boot space. The Honda City Hybrid has a boot space the size of 410-litres, compared to the regular City’s massive 506 L of boot space. The hybrid model will also lose out on the spare tire, and get a puncture repair kit instead.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
So, what are the special features of the Hybrid?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
