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.
