Will we have a hybrid vehicle?

The Honda City's hybrid configuration should not be introduced into the Brazilian market for now. Japanese Honda will probably maintain the 1.5 hp 126 flex aspirated engine, coupled to the CVT transmission, as an option for the City. This choice could be a differentiator for the sedan in relation to competition, which includes the Chevrolet Onix Plus, Nissan Versa, Toyota Yaris Sedan, among others.

The launch of the new Honda City is eagerly awaited, which promises to bring updates that will keep it competitive in the compact sedan segment in Brazil.
