And under hard braking, the CVT shifts to much lower ratios thus providing engine braking; this is something we saw put into effect when driving down a winding road.If you’ve read our past reviews of the City diesel, or even cars like the Amaze that use the same 1.5 diesel, you’ll know we haven’t been fans of the refinement levels. The inside too has undergone a complete makeover. Based on a selected few, the preliminary sketch was made. While the wheelbase is the same as before (as this platform shares a lot of the hardpoints with the previous-gen), the new car has grown a fair bit in length and width, though the height is less than before.Honda’s signature front chrome bar is now thicker with the top strip stretching across the width of the nose, above the LED highlights.
The entry/basic and lower priced model will be the previous gen City, which as I told you stays on in the market.
It continues to be effortless for intra-city drivesThe tried and tested 1498 cc petrol inline 4-cylinder engine makes 119 bhp and yes that is a very slight bump up in power. On the whole, Honda has done a tremendous job with the new City, and it looks all set to leapfrog the competition. Strangely though, there are no new colours and that's a thorn in my side. The system, of course, has all the usual connectivity bits including Android Auto and Apple CarPlay.If there’s one high point of a Honda, it’s the engine; and it’s the same here with the new DOHC 1.5-litre petrol which is a real delight. Honda aced backseat comfort with the 4th-gen City, and has done it yet again with a rear bench that's the most generous in the class. To me that is especially weird, since the old City remains in the market, in pretty much the same colours. Get all the latest updates from the automobile universe
Like before, the small rise in the floor behind the front seat, acts as a natural footrest which further enhances comfort levels. And what about that infamous rubber band effect? It's like playing a game while driving the car, but thankfully it doesn't really distract you. 32 of them in all but they have taken things to the next level for Honda. The boot-opening mechanism uses torsion rods which act as elastic springs to lift the boot lid, but they aren’t strong enough; so the lid doesn’t pop open on its own and you have to lift it all the way to the top.
Though I will say this – the City RS in Thailand not only looks hot, but also sports the new 1.0 IVTEC Turbo engine – that should have been considered for India – and still should be in my opinion. CVT is still an option. Need an expert opinion on your car or bike related problems?
Honda says a "full-open acceleration step-up shift control" and "brake operation step downshift control" help here.

On the manual, you do notice that the peak torque kicks in quite late in the rev cycle at over 3500 rpm which is a little annoying. The CVT will give you 18.4 kmpl, while the manual Honda City petrol offers 17.8 kmpl.The City always took safety seriously so you've got 6 airbags at the top end, you've also got the tyre pressure air monitoring system and lane watch that's been carried forward from the Civic and the CR-V, which means put the left indicator on and you've got the blind spot in the rear-view on the main screen. The very sharp curved single-edge of a Katana blade is what inspires the character line along its side. The paddles are nice to have but on a CVT you have to ask why really? That is evolutionary from the last car too, just like the face. 20 Oct 2017. At low revs, this motor doesn't get obtrusive, and that annoying, sharp diesel clatter that characterised the previous iterations is all but eliminated.
