2023 Honda City Facelift Powertrain Details

The 2023 Honda City facelift is likely to come with the same petrol engine options as the current model — a 1.5L normal petrol and 1.5L strong hybrid petrol. Honda have already removed the 1.5L turbo diesel engine from the City lineup and the diesel engine is unlikely to make a comeback with the facelift. While the 1.5L normal petrol engine comes with either a 6-speed manual or a CVT, the strong hybrid powertrain comes with an e-CVT transmission.
