Paying 22lakhs n driving @ 4₹/km (assuming mileage 25km/l ) is sensible??? why not to buy diesel verna in 14 lakhs n drive @ 5 ₹/km( assuming mileage @18-20 km/l🧐🧐🧐 This 1₹ difference can easily be covered in interest of 8 lakh difference.
Such a great tech and such a great car 👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻 Hope govt can reduce taxes to make it more affordable and it would be great if Honda can release one variant without ADAS to further reduce the costs
In Mauritius it is called Honda Ballade, made in India. The latest hybrid model exported by India now has 506L trunk. I test drove it and I was very impressed.
Dear Bunny great video. Thank you for educating us about this hybrid technology. A 1000km can be easily achieve in a full tank of Hyb City. In future kindly also do a range tester video.

Initially the figures look good and agreed Honda is giving an 8 yr warranty on the battery too.... But here's the thing....lithium ion batteries loose charge retention ability on a year on year basis....so the mileage wud keep dropping as the months and years go by.....hope it doesn't drop by a huge amount.....also There is an epicyclic gear box and a clutch to engage and disengage the engine to match wheel speeds.....during highway runs too as show in the video....

Little worried abt the complexity involved here.... also for the price of this Honda city.... One cud rather go for a mid range vw virtus(prices cud be a tad higher than the Skoda Slavia) and save money on say a 7 year run and enjoy driving a brilliant drive at the same time..... Personally wud prefer a turbo petrol with a nice auto gearbox than have this needless complexities involved in a car..... And that too after paying almost 20 lacs.....
Wish there was a regular petrol and diesel city running along with this hybrid, just to show the difference in fuel economy between the 3 variants under identical driving conditions.
EV only mode at cruising speed is absolutely fantastic! What was the level of regen when you were driving? have you used 91 octane fuel or normal? City's performance better with 91 octane fuel. It is time to phase out diesel from passenger car segments and move to hybrids...Government should provide incentive for it... The one thing, I would like to say to honda is throw that space saver wheel and increase the boot space in city hybrid. One of the big big reason I am not going to be switching to city hybrid and make honda sensing optional will make the car cheaper.
@@nishantak911 this is a normal car with not so sporty engine lol. Why use higher octane fuel? in India in the budget segment, only TSI engines need higher octane fuel and all your superbikes

Well, if you do a comparison between vx and hybrid, & assuming 18 and 27 kmpl respectively, the payback would be approx 11+ years at a petrol price point of inr 110 per litre and an avg running of 2000 kms per month; on road prices at 16 and 23.5L respectively. So, are the bells and whistles of hybrid worth it? To me ideally a price point of 19L on road price would have made sense.
Bro, very valid reason. I would like to add one more point, 23.5L - 16L= 7.5L. Is the different amount . Even we have to pay interest on that different amount. As maximum people's buy it with a loan.
I assume we can run this purely on EV only mode, and NOT use the IC engine @ all, isn’t that right?. In that case, this would be a great alternative to the nexon and tigor EV’s if this can be used permanently in EV only mode!!..
Auto cut is not the correct way to fill fuel, reason is the sensor at the end of the nozzles are not at the same place thrs a good marginal distance & no 2 nozzles are the same. ( the sensors that cut the fuel are at different heights due to wear & tear while using the nozzles . They shift with time ..Fill it till the brim to see the actual fuel average. The auto cut is just the safety feature for fuel not to spill out of the tank while filling . Even if a small drop touches the nozzle the fuel delivery stops .
Sir, i observed that the Full tank range showing approx 400-500 kms range, but the Honda people are claiming that the city eHEV could give around 1000 kms range in full tank capacity....
23kmph is good enough but Honda should think differently, at this stage no one prefer Sedan except few. They should think of bringing in Hyprid SUV without wasting too much time. This is only survival mantra at this moment at least in India.

Honda city diesel will give this mileage or more in these condition. Also its cheaper and diesel price lower than petrol. City diesel makes more sense than this.
Waste....if it is only giving 23 on highway then wats the use of paying 4-5 lakh extra on hybrid. What u think sir? Even SUVs got more than this mileage in the express way run. Video of the same is in this channel itself
Assuming petrol at Rs 120/ liter 25 KMPL fuel efficiency translate to 4.8 Rs per km 20KMPL translate to 6 Rs per km For price difference of Rs 4.8 lacs (hybrid over petrol engine) You will have to drive 4 lacs KM just to break even. For 15 KMPL , it translate to 8 Rs per km. For break even, you will have to drive 1.5 lacs KM .
30 lakh? It's 19.5 lakh exshowroom, about 1.5 lakh more than top end Seltos / creta petrol automatics. More space, tech, efficient et al. For those who like sedans and technology, this is a good option
I never believed in this technology , it’s still not practical. In city this might be useful but the mileage achieved in this test is absolutely not worth considering it. My i20 diesel easily gives mileage of 22-23 kmpl on highway while maintaining speed between 100 - 120 kmph and Honda city diesel gives 28-30 kmpl on highway and in city 17-18 kmpl. Overall I don’t see it as a worth buy, such mid level tech are only practical in lab test.

Sedan is overall much better. SUV doesn't have space or ride comfort and less mileage because of aerodynamics and weight.
haath hatane ke liye nahi hai Lane keep assist bunny, you keep hands on the steering wheel, and it will ever so Slightly turn it.
Reliance or shell petrol pump can give better milage .
They should have provide a way to charge the battery from the home outlet ..
Charging battery from home not viable as this is a small battery. Unlike plug in ones
