Discount of up to ₹3 lakh
The price of the Honda City Hybrid model is flat-discounted by up to 3 lakh rupees under the new electric car policy. It is now priced at 19.53 lakh, but a 15 percent discount will result in a price reduction of up to 2.9 lakh.
Only the petrol version of this car's 1.5-litre 4-cylinder Atkinson Cycle engine, which produces 98 PS and 127 Nm of torque, has been used by the manufacturer. Its power and torque are the highest after the electric motor at 126PS and 253Nm, respectively.
