Honda is all set to introduce the City facelift in India on Feb 14, 2017. However, the upcoming car's brochure has been leaked online. Although, key changes that are being offered with the Honda City facelift are already listed on Honda's official website, let's have a look at the additional information which the leaked brochure provides.
Variant details - As reported by us earlier, the City facelift will be available in 5 variants: S, SV, V, VX and ZX. We had also mentioned that the S variant would be available with the petrol engine only, and that news is confirmed now. Also, the V and VX variants in the petrol-powered Honda City facelift will offer buyers a choice of automatic or manual transmission. The top ZX variant will be available with the automatic transmission only.
Engine-Transmission – The 1.5-litre i-VTEC petrol and 1.5-litre i-DTEC diesel engines are carried forward from the pre-facelift version. The specs for the following are as follows:
Petrol engine
Displacement – 1.5-litre
Maximum power – 119PS
Maximum torque – 145Nm
Transmission – 5MT and CVT with paddle shifters
Diesel engine
Displacement – 1.5-litre
Maximum power – 100PS
Maximum torque – 200Nm
Transmission – 6MT
| Engine & Transmission | Outgoing Honda City | 2017 Honda City |
|---|---|---|
| i-VTEC with MT | 17.8 kmpl | 17.4 kmpl |
| i-VTEC with CVT | 18 kmpl | 18 kmpl |

The output of the engines is the same as before however there is a 0.4kmpl fuel efficiency drop in the manual transmission version of both the petrol and diesel engines. The reason for the change is still unknown.
