2020 Honda City Engine Specs Revealed

The fifth-generation Honda City is all set to see its global debut sometime by the end of November 2019. The new sedan will make its first entry into the Thai market followed by some other ASEAN countries. The India launch of the Honda City is expected to happen in the second half of next year.

The fifth-generation Honda City is in the offing to enter India sometime in 2020.

Prior to its world’s premiere, Honda has already started testing the new-gen City, not only in Thailand but also in India as well, giving us some hints at how the vehicle could look like. For now, the engine specs of the next-gen Honda City has come under the light as well, with three engine options in the pipeline. First up, the all-new City will get a new 1.0-litre turbocharged petrol engine that will feature a Borg Warner-sourced turbocharger and churn out 120 HP of max power. It will come paired with a 6-speed manual transmission along with a CVT unit.

Secondly, the new-gen sedan will draw the power from a 1.5-litre petrol motor with the support of Honda’s new iMMD mild-hybrid tech. Power and torque output for this engine options are still under wraps. Honda will probably make this mill available with a CVT and a 6-speed MT as well.

Spy shots suggested that the upcoming Honda City will get Honda’s latest design philosophy. That means it might feature wraparound LED headlights and taillights along with a thick chrome strip at the front, one that we see in the tenth-gen Civic and the CR-V. Just like the existing Honda City, the new model will compete against the likes of Maruti Ciaz, the heavily-updated Hyundai Verna, Toyota Yaris, Skoda Rapid, Volkswagen Vento in the domestic space.
