Honda City e:HEV soon to be launched in Nepal; price starts from Rs 82 lakh
Syakar Trading Company, the sole authorised distributor of Honda cars and bikes in Nepal, is readying to launch its much-awaited sedan–the all-new City e:HEV. The new City e:HEV comes with a new design, upgraded features, and a hybrid powertrain: i-MMD (intelligent multi-mode drive). The company will offer the new sedan in two variants: the V and the ZX–at an introductory price of Rs 82 lakh and Rs 88 lakh, respectively.
Design
The 2023 City comes in a stylish and sporty design. The new notable exterior elements includes a front grille with diamond chequered flag pattern, front bumper with carbon wrapped lower moulding, fog lamps with sporty garnish, rear bumper with sporty carbon-wrapped diffuser, and 16-inch dual-tone diamond-cut multi-spoke alloy wheels. Furthermore, the car will be offered in six different colours: Blue, Red, White, Brown, Grey, and Silver. Inside, the sedan will get a black-and-ivory-themed cabin. The dashboard features a three-spoke steering wheel with mounted controls, a seven-inch fully-digital instrument console, and an eight-inch infotainment system that is now compatible with wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. Moreover, the City e:HEV models are also expected to feature a new carbon fibre pattern instrument panel, piano black finish on all AC Vents, and piano black garnish on the steering wheel.
Powertrain
The City e:HEV is powered by a 1.5-litre Atkinson cycle petrol hybrid engine–which is paired with two self-charging electric motors–that generates a combined power of 122 hp and a peak torque of 253 Nm. Furthermore, the sedan provides a mileage of 27.13 kmpl. The sedan also comes in three riding modes: EV Drive: motor uses battery for a silent and zero emission drive, Hybrid Drive: both traction and generator motor generates combined power, and Engine Drive: engine works highly fuel-efficient, along with providing enough power.
