The City e:HEV which already comes with Honda Sensing, will have the additional feature of “Low-Speed Follow” in the Adaptive Cruise Control function that helps to maintain a safe distance from the preceding vehicle while driving at low speeds/stop-and-go traffic.
Another new feature ‘Lead Car Departure Notification System’ has been added in the Honda Sensing suite of safety features in both City (petrol) and City e:HEV that informs the driver with visual and audible alerts when the preceding vehicle starts moving in situations like Traffic Lights junctions.
The company has expanded the City e:HEV range with a new ‘V’ grade in addition to the existing top grade ‘ZX’ to provide customers with more choices and experience of this advanced self-charging strong hybrid electric technology.
The New City (Petrol) will also have a new entry ‘SV’ grade for a wider set of customers looking to upgrade to the City brand.
