Honda has revealed the mileage figures for the City facelift, which was launched in India on May 22, 2026. As before, the City continues to be available with petrol (i-VTEC) and hybrid (eHEV) powertrain options with manual and CVT transmissions. So, how do these variants of the 2026 Honda City facelift compare with each other?
| 2026 Honda City facelift mileage | |||
|
| Petrol MT | Petrol CVT | Hybrid e-CVT |
| Claimed mileage (kpl) | 17.77 | 17.97 | 27.26 |
| Fuel capacity (litres) | 40 | 40 | 40 |
The 2026 Honda City facelift’s petrol variants get a 1.5-litre naturally aspirated engine, mated to either a 6-speed manual (MT) or a continuously variable transmission (CVT). This four-cylinder mill produces 121hp and 145Nm of torque. The variants equipped with the CVT automatic have a claimed fuel economy that is 0.2kpl better than those featuring the manual gearbox. The City hybrid facelift also gets a 1.5-litre petrol engine that makes 126hp and 253Nm, with the help of a lithium-ion battery and dual electric motors. It uses an electrically coupled continuously variable transmission (e-CVT).
All variants of the 2026 Honda City facelift are fitted with a 40-litre fuel tank, just like the pre-facelift model. We will report the sedan’s real-world fuel economy when we get our hands on it and put it through its paces. However, we have driven the hybrid variant’s predecessor from Bengaluru to Mumbai, a distance of 1,006km, on just 29.08 litres of petrol. This means a real-world mileage of 34.59kpl, which was achieved through sedate driving techniques. For context, the pre-facelift City hybrid’s claimed mileage was 26.5kpl – 0.76kpl lower than the updated model that’s on sale now.
The 2026 Honda City facelift is priced from Rs 12 lakh to Rs 21 lakh (ex-showroom) and is available in SV, V, ZX and ZX+ trims. The hybrid (e:HEV) is only offered in the top-spec ZX+ trim.
