Honda service centres will carry out necessary repairs free of cost. The software update will optimise hydraulic pressure that is applied to the CVT. Engineers need not change any mechanical part and will only be updating the CVT software.

The base variant (City E) costs Rs. 7.99 lakh and the top-of-the-line fully-loaded variant (City VX) costs Rs. 12.50 lakh. The CVT option is offered on two trims: SV CVT and VX CVT, which is priced at Rs. 10.38 lakh and Rs. 12.07 lakh ex-showroom (Mumbai) respectively.
