The new Honda City further comes in three variants, all of which come packed with features and equipment. All three variants are also powered by both petrol and engine options as well — here are the variant-wise features and specifications of the new Honda City.

Having said that, here are some of the top things to know about the all-new fifth-generation Honda City sedan in India:

New Honda City: Top Speed & Acceleration

Honda is yet to officially announce the top speed and acceleration timings of its new City sedan in the Indian market. However, considering its engine specifications and taking into account the performance of the older model, we expect to be on par with that of its rivals.

We expect the new Honda City to have a top speed of around 175km/h. In terms of acceleration, we expect the 2020 Honda City to have a 0 - 100km/h time of around 13 seconds.

Note: These figures are just assumptions made at this point. Exact top speed and acceleration figures will be updated at a later time, once we get our hands on the new City, for a long duration.

New Honda City: Power & Torque Figures

The new (2020) Honda City comes powered by two engine options. This includes a 1.5-litre four-cylinder i-VTEC petrol unit producing 121bhp and 145Nm of peak torque. Similarly, there is also a 1.5-litre four-cylinder i-DTEC diesel engine on offer as well, churning out 100bhp and 200Nm of peak torque.

Both engines come mated to a standard six-speed manual gearbox. The petrol engine, however, additionally receives an optional six-step CVT automatic transmission with paddle-shifters as well.

New Honda City: Mileage & Fuel-Tank Capacity

The new (2020) Honda City sedan comes with a fuel tank capacity of 40-litres across both petrol and diesel engine options. Honda has also announced the official mileage (fuel-efficiency) figures as well.

All mileage figures stated are ARAI-certified figures, quoted officially by Honda Cars India. Actual figures might vary slightly depending on a number of external factors.

The new (2020) Honda City is said to have a turning circle radius of 5.3-metres which is decent, considering the increased dimensions of the sedan, compared to its previous-gen model. Boot space on the new City also comes in at an impressive 506-litres.
