1.5 Litre i-VTEC Engine
In pursuit of Class-leading output and excellent fuel efficiency, the New CITY is powered by the highly developed i-VTEC engine.
The New CITY’s i-VTEC engine is developed for all-round performance. It delivers high output, fuel efficiency and environmental-friendly performance.
Intake valve timing and valve lift settings switch to meet both low- and high-speed driving requirements. Optimized valve overlap in the low-, mid- and high-speed ranges enhances intake and exhaust efficiency for excellent performance with plenty of torque throughout all speed ranges.
Transmission
5AT with Paddle Shift
The unique Paddle Shift gear option allows you to switch gears without using the clutch pedal. The 5AT (Automatic Transmission) allow you to change gear ratios automatically-freeing you from having to shift gears manually. The right paddle is for shifting up while the left paddle is for shifting down, which is the same as for an F1 machine.
In D-range mode, the driver can shift up and down by using the paddles, while automatically returning to normal AT driving mode when a sensor determines the car is cruising. On the other hand, in S-range, the mode does not revert automatically to AT driving mode, which allows the driver to enjoy a manual transmission-like driving feel.
Manual Transmission
The City boasts of a smoother wire type manual transmission gear shift with hydraulic clutch. As compared to a rod type, wire type operating system makes for a much smoother gear shift. The gear shift has good moderate stiffness, and thanks to a shortening of the sleeve stroke of the synchronizer, is also much lighter. What's more, the clutch utilizes hydraulic pressure to reduce the force needed during operation and to provide a fatigue-free driving experience.
Suspension
Front Suspension
MC Pherson Strut with stabilizer,
Coil Spring
An optimised compliance bush placement with a larger capacity makes lower bush springs possible to provide a supple riding feel.
Rear Suspension
Torsion Beam Axle with stabilizer,
Coil Spring
A reduced spring lever ratio and increased trailing arm bush capacity provide more supple riding comfort.
Fuel Indicator
The meter panel features a fuel consumption indicator presenting instant and average fuel consumption, and estimated remaining driving range, supporting the driver to drive in a fuel efficient way.
