      Fifth-gen Honda City

      The India-spec next-gen Honda City has been unveiled ahead of its launch that will take place in July. The model is said to be India’s first connected car with Alexa remote capability. The new City was originally slated to be unveiled in India back in March but was postponed owing to the lockdown caused by the Coronavirus pandemic.

      Powertrain options on the fifth-gen Honda City will include a 1.5-litre i-VTEC petrol engine and a 1.5-litre i-DTEC diesel engine. The petrol motor will produce 119bhp and 145Nm of torque while the diesel mill will produce 98bhp and 200Nm of torque. Both the engines, which are BS6 emission compliant, will be paired to a six-speed manual transmission as standard while the petrol variant will also be available with a CVT unit. The petrol and diesel manual variants will return a fuel efficiency of 17.8kmph and 24.1kmpl respectively while the CVT unit will give a fuel economy of 18.4kmpl.

      Dimension wise, the new-gen Honda City measures 4,549mm in length, 1,748mm in width and 1,489mm in height while the wheelbase stands at 2,600mm. Design highlights of the model include a single slat thick chrome grille flanked by full-LED headlamps on either side, LED fog lamps, LED tail lights and 16-inch dual-tone diamond-cut alloy wheels.
