According to a recent press statement, Honda Siel Cars India
will recall its City model in order to replace a certain defective part in the
valve train. The Japanese manufacturer will have to change the faulty component
for 57,853 units of the City manufactured from November 2008 to December 2009.
The new Honda City is just 5 mm longer than the previous one but
for a better interior package, the wheelbase has been stretched 100 mm.
However, the stylists were mindful of visual balance and the ratio of vehicle
length to height and vehicle length to wheelbase were carefully managed. The
roof line is also 15 mm lower but to ensure this did not reduce headroom, the
floor was also dropped by 20 mm.
The City is powered by a new 1.4-liter i-VTEC (same as in
the Jazz) engine that provides a mix between performance and flexibility,
without compromising fuel economy or emissions. The unit provides 100
horsepower, a 17 hp increase over the previous generation. This helps the model
complete the benchmark 0-100 km/h (0 to 62 mph) in just 11.8 seconds for the
manual version, an improvement of 1.6 seconds. The automatic version hits the
same speed in 14.7 seconds, almost half a second quicker than before.
