Honda will offer the new City with 2 engine options – 1.5L petrol and 1.5L diesel. The former is a 4-cylinder naturally-aspirated motor that develops 121 PS of peak power and 145 Nm of max torque. The latter, on the other hand, is a turbocharged oil burner, belting out a rated power and torque output of 100 PS and 200 Nm, respectively. The transmission duties can be had performed by either a 6-speed MT or a CVT on the petrol motor, while the diesel engine can only be had mated to 6-speed stick shift unit.
