Honda City Hybrid Lower Variant Discontinued

Like the City petrol, Honda have added seatbelt reminder with indicator to feature to the City Hybrid ZX variant while increasing its prices. While Honda’s website continues to show prices for the V, ZX and the updated ZX variants’ price, the latest brochure only shows the ZX variant. We expect Honda to pull the plug on the lower variant of the City Hybrid once they dispose the current inventory with offers and discounts.
