Honda City e:HEV: Benefits of up to Rs 1 lakh
While 2024 City e:HEV models do not get any discounts this January, 2023 models have benefits up to Rs 1 lakh; this is a flat cash discount and there are no additional benefits. The City e:HEV is a strong-hybrid version of the fifth-gen City. It comes with the same 1,498cc, four-cylinder petrol engine coupled with two electric motors mated to an e-CVT gearbox. One electric motor is driven by the petrol engine, which helps charge the battery pack at the rear.
