Honda Car India has added a new variant to the line-up of their family sedan City. New Honda City ZX MT sits at the top of the petrol line-up. It is priced at Rs 12,75,000 (Ex-Showroom Delhi). Apart from this, City line-up now gets two new exterior colours and standard application of Rear Parking Sensors.
Mr. Rajesh Goel, Sr. Vice President and Director, Sales & Marketing, Honda Cars India Ltd. said, “We are delighted to introduce the new ZX variant of Honda City in Petrol with Manual Transmission to complete the top spec ZX range and offer increased choice for our customers. The addition of new colours and standard application of Rear Parking sensors will further strengthen the City offering in the market.”
Speaking about the two new colours, these are Radiant Red Metallic and Lunar Silver Metallic. Speaking about the features of ZX variant – 6 airbags, LED headlight, LED DRL, LED taillight, LED license plate lamps, electric sunroof, 16 inch machine cut alloys, auto headlights, automatic rain sensing wipers, touchscreen infotainment system, etc.
The Honda City measures 4,440mm in length, 1,485mm in height and 1,695mm in width. It sits on a wheelbase measuring 2,550mm and gets ground clearance of 165mm along with kerb weight of 1,085 kgs. Interiors of the Honda City are seen in beige colored leather upholstery and are based on the Man Maximum, Machine Minimum philosophy. Interiors are spacious with ample leg room and the cockpit is ergonomically designed to offer a classy ride. It gets a 7” touchscreen on its dashboard, which is finished in black with silver accents.
Honda City is presented with a 1.5 liter, four cylinder engine offering 119 PS peak power at 6,600 rpm and 145 Nm torque at 4,600 rpm mated to a 5 speed manual and CVT transmission. Top speed stands at 182 kmph. Diesel engine is also on offer. It is a 1.5 liter unit delivering 100 PS and 200 Nm via 6 speed MT.
Honda City is a four door, five seater sedan, which has been performing well over the years. It has received many updates and managed to score high on the charts in company sales. But in the last few years, post the launch of new Hyundai Verna and Maruti Ciaz, Honda City is no longer the best selling car in the segment. That title now belongs to Maruti Ciaz, followed by Verna and then City. With the launch of new City petrol variant, Honda hopes to add more sales to the City line-up.
