Honda Plans To Launch 3 New Cars - Next-gen City to BSVI WR-V

Honda Cars India has plans to launch three new products into the Indian market. The upcoming vehicle line-up includes cars like- new-gen City, BS6 Jazz and 2020 WR-V. The official launch dates of all the three models are not out yet. Earlier, the carmaker has planned to unveil the fifth-gen City on 16th March, but it got cancelled due to the coronavirus outbreak. The carmaker cancelled the unveiling and also postponed its launch date to May 2020.  The all-new City is built on an all-new platform, and it’ll derive power from a BS6 compliant 1.5-litre i-VTEC petrol engine and a 1.5-litre i-DTEC diesel mill. The petrol unit puts out 199bhp and 145 Nm of peak torque, while the oil-burner offers 99bhp of power and 200 Nm of twisting force. Both the engines will come mated to a manual and CVT gearbox.

Moreover, Honda has also confirmed the launch of 2020 WR-V facelift. The carmaker has started accepting bookings of the car at a token amount of Rs 21,000. The car will employ subtle cosmetical updates like new front grille and LED lighting. Mechanically, the crossover SUV will now employ BS6 compliant 1.2-litre petrol and 1.5-litre diesel motors. Both the engines will continue to be offered with a 5-speed manual transmission.

Honda Cars India has also listed the 2020 Jazz hatchback on their official website. The automaker has already confirmed that they will launch the new Jazz with a BS6 compliant 1.2-litre i-VTEC petrol engine and a 1.5-litre iDTEC oil-burner. The BS4 petrol and diesel engines put out power and torque outputs of 89bhp/99bhp and 110Nm/200Nm. Moreover, the new BS6 compliant diesel mill will be less fuel-efficient. We expect the carmaker to make minor design changes and feature updates to the updated hatchback.
