Honda, the Japanese car manufacturer, has increased the prices of the City Hybrid with immediate effect; this rise in price affects the top-end and the only available ZX variant.

This combination generates a total output of 124.27 HP and 253 Nm of torque, and it is mated to an e-CVT transmission, enhancing fuel efficiency while also reducing emissions.

While the new pricing may impact buying choices, the Honda City e:HEV remains an appealing option for those seeking a sedan. It continues to be the only sedan with a hybrid powertrain in the country in its price segment. However, there are other rivals like the Skoda Slavia, Hyundai Verna, and Volkswagen Virtus giving the model a run for its money.
