2023 Honda City e:HEV To Become More Affordable

Honda aim to make the strong hybrid version of the City a lot more affordable than before. The current City e-HEV, which was launched in May 2022, is only available in the top-spec ZX variant. It is currently priced at Rs. 19.89 lakh (ex-showroom). While the price of the top-spec City Hybrid is not likely to come down, Honda aim to make the strong hybrid City sedan more affordable by offering it in a lower variant.  

Honda are set to introduce the base V variant to the City e:HEV strong hybrid. It is likely to offer a similar set of features as the City normal petrol’s V variant. To make the City hybrid sedan more affordable, the V strong hybrid variant is likely to miss out on features like advanced driver assistance system (ADAS) and electronic parking brake that are available with the e:HEV ZX variant. The introduction of the V variant will make the strong hybrid powertrain more accessible and bring it closer, in terms of price, to the normal petrol variants.
