Powertrain: At the heart of the new City sits a 1.5-litre Atkinson-Cycle DOHC i-VTEC petrol engine. While the engine alone produces 98 PS and 127 Nm of torque, it is assisted by an electric motor and the combined system output from this powertrain stands much higher at 126 PS which is backed up by torque of 253 Nm. This engine comes mated to an e-CVT unit which is basically an electrically coupled version of CVT.
