The Spec'd take

Why it stands out

  • Honda's two-motor strong hybrid system, the same family used in bigger Hondas globally, genuinely changes how the City drives in traffic, gliding on electric power far more than a typical mild hybrid.
  • 27.26 kmpl claimed is a real step up from the petrol City, and unlike a lot of hybrid claims this one is grounded in a proper strong hybrid architecture, not just an engine start-stop system with a badge.
  • It carries over the regular City's spacious, well-built cabin, so the hybrid tech doesn't come with a smaller-car compromise.

Worth knowing

  • Sold in only one grade, ZX+, so there is no way to get the hybrid system without also paying for the top-spec equipment list.
  • It asks a real premium of roughly Rs 5 to 6 lakh over the equivalent petrol City, a gap that takes genuine years of driving to earn back in fuel savings for most owners.
  • Honda's hybrid parts and specialist know-how are still thinner on the ground in India than a plain petrol City's, worth checking with your nearest dealer before you commit.
