A smooth and eco-friendly sedan with advanced features

I recently got a chance to test drive the Honda City Hybrid eHEV 2023 and I was very impressed by its performance and features. Here are some of the points that I would like to share about my driving experience, firstly Driving experience, The car was very easy to drive and handle. The hybrid engine was powerful and responsive, delivering a smooth acceleration and gear transition. The fuel economy was excellent, as I got around 25 km/l on average in city traffic. The car also had low emissions, which made me feel good about contributing to the environment. The Honda sensing technology provided a safer driving experience, as it alerted me of any potential hazards or collisions on the road. The car also had a sport mode that enhanced the performance and thrill of driving. Secondly, Details about looks, and performance, The car looked stylish and elegant, with a sleek design and LED headlights. The interior was spacious and comfortable, with leather seats and ample legroom. The boot space was sufficient for my luggage needs. The car had a 7-inch touchscreen infotainment system that supported Android Auto and Apple CarPlay, along with a premium sound system. The car also had a sunroof, wireless charging, rear AC vents, ambient lighting, keyless entry, push-button start, paddle shifters, cruise control etc. Thirdly Pros, Powerful hybrid engine, excellent fuel economy, low emissions, spacious cabin, stylish exterior, and advanced safety features. Finally Cons, the High prices compared to other hybrid cars, limited colour options, and no diesel variant. Overall considering everything I will rate it 4 out of 5.

Experienced after buying

I bought this electric car 2 months back, driven 9900 kms until now. It runs 250 kms around with a single charge comfortably with AC on. Then u have to charge for complete peace of mind. Price high but u get 40% depreciation in your ITR for consecutive 4 years which means u haven't paid anything except for insurance and RTO. please make this car with two sets of battery, one for 250 kms and other for 125 kms, and alternatively, they should get charged by the regenerative power energy source and kinetic energy too thus KONA will go beyond 1000 kms. Very smooth, silent ride. Cruise control and hill assist presently. 2 negative points. Rear seats not having any fan facility and rear shockers are not too good.
