Engine Specs
2020 Honda City isn’t exactly the most powerful vehicle in the segment. But, it offers enough horsepower for its purposes. Under the hood through all trim levels will be the same 1.0-liter VTEC Turbo three-cylinder gasoline powertrain. This engine produces 120 hp and 128 lb-ft of torque. The Japanese company claims that this unit delivers better driving performances than the 1.5-liter mill, and similar torque as the 1.8-liter drivetrain.
The CVT is the only transmission available, but it includes paddle shifters, which allow shifting between seven simulated gears. The fuel economy is 56 mpg combined (4.2 l/100 km), and the CO2 emissions ratings compile with the Euro 5 standard.
