The new City comes with a 1.5 Litre I-VTEC Engine, i believe it should be the same as the newly launched Honda Jazz’s engine. As far as i remember, this powerplant churns out about 120 horsepower, which i think is really really a lot for just a 1.5L engine !
On the first look, you will feel that its like a reduced size of the latest Honda Accord, as the front grille feels the same, even the headlight feels like the new Accord ! So you get the feeling of driving a mini-Accord.
The new engine, which is also shared with the new Honda Jazz is fitted with Honda's acclaimed i-VTEC system, which provides excellent performance and flexibility, without compromising fuel economy or emissions. The new engine gives the Honda City 100PS, a healthy 17 PS increase over the previous model. This extra power helps the new Honda City complete the benchmark 0-100 km/h in just 11.8 seconds for the manual version, an improvement of 1.6 seconds. The automatic version hits 100 in 14.7 seconds, almost half a second quicker than before.
