In a bold move, Honda Cars India has slashed the price of its City e:HEV hybrid sedan by Rs. 95,010, bringing the cost of its fully-loaded ZX variant to an attractive Rs. 19.90 lakh (ex-showroom). This makes it the only strong hybrid sedan in India priced under Rs. 20 lakh, setting it apart in a competitive market with no direct rivals. The Japanese automaker has also discontinued the entry-level V trim, streamlining the lineup to focus on the premium ZX grade. Interestingly, this price cut comes after a Rs. 29,900 hike in May 2025, showing Honda’s intent to make the hybrid more accessible.

The Honda City Hybrid stands out with its sleek design and modern features. Its exterior boasts all-LED headlamps with daytime running lights and stylish dual-tone 16-inch alloy wheels. Inside, the cabin offers an 8-inch touchscreen infotainment system compatible with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, ensuring seamless connectivity. Comfort features like a sunroof, wireless charging, and an 8-speaker audio system elevate the driving experience, making every journey enjoyable.

Safety is a key highlight of the City e:HEV, which has earned a prestigious 5-star rating from ASEAN NCAP crash tests. It comes equipped with six airbags, traction control, a multi-angle rear camera, hill start assist, ISOFIX child seat mounts, and a tyre pressure monitoring system. The sedan also features Level 2 Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS), including collision mitigation braking, adaptive cruise control, lane-keeping assist, and a lane watch camera that displays blind spots on the infotainment screen. These advanced safety tools ensure peace of mind for drivers and passengers alike.

Under the hood, the City e:HEV is powered by a 1.5L 4-cylinder petrol engine paired with dual electric motors, operating under Honda’s efficient Atkinson hybrid system. One motor drives the wheels, while the other charges the lithium-ion battery, delivering a combined power output of 124 bhp and 253 Nm of torque. Paired with an eCVT gearbox, the system sends power to the front wheels, offering smooth performance and an impressive fuel efficiency of 27.26 kmpl—a standout feature for eco-conscious buyers.

Honda’s price cut aligns with its broader strategy to expand hybrid technology in India. The company recently shared plans to introduce hybrid systems in upcoming SUVs, including a 7-seater and a midsize model, as detailed in an article on upcoming Honda hybrid cars. This move positions Honda to cater to India’s growing demand for fuel-efficient, eco-friendly vehicles.

For those looking to save more, Honda is also offering discounts of up to Rs. 1.2 lakh on models like the City, Amaze, and Elevate in July, as noted in a recent report. These deals make it a great time to consider a Honda vehicle.

The Honda City Hybrid’s price reduction and feature-packed ZX variant make it a compelling choice for buyers seeking style, safety, and efficiency.
