As for what we can expect from this new Honda City, while we don’t know about a lot of things this would offer it is expected to come with Honda’s i-MMD, the hybrid technology which is also used on the international-spec Honda CR-V hybrid and in the new-generation Honda Jazz sold abroad. Like the technology that powers the Honda Jazz e:HEV for international markets, the i-MMD hybrid setup in the new City is made up of two electric motors and an internal combustion engine. A 98hp, 127Nm, 1.5-litre, four-cylinder.

The engine can develop 109hp and 253Nm of torque and then it is sent to the front wheels via a bespoke gearbox with a single, fixed-gear ratio. It is said to come with three drive modes – one where just the electric motors are used, while one where just the internal combustion engine runs (a lock-up clutch sends power to the wheels directly), and there will also be a third one which would allow for a combination of both.

While for the expected pricing, this new Honda City is expected to be priced Rs 2-2.5 lakh expensive over the current selling petrol sedan. There is also a top-end variant of the new City hybrid expected, that could come in at the price of around Rs 20 lakh.
