Honda City Mileage
₹12.00 Lakh to ₹21.36 Lakhex-showroom
Fuel economy is where the Honda City's two engines split most clearly. The petrol manual is rated at 17.77 kmpl and the CVT at 17.97 kmpl, both sound for a midsize sedan. The e:HEV hybrid changes the sum entirely at 27.26 kmpl, thanks to its electric motor doing much of the town work. As ever, heavy traffic, quick acceleration and constant cooling will trim these ARAI figures in daily use. To match each figure to a trim, see how the City variants line up.

Mileage is how far the City travels on one litre of fuel (or one kg of CNG). A bigger number means you spend less on fuel. Carmakers quote an ARAI lab figure; in real driving you get a bit less, so both are shown below.
