Honda City Zx
City Zx with its amazing design and style has become choice of the classy people. WITH ITS HIGH LEVELS OF REFINEMENT, RIDE COMFORT AND FUEL EFFICIENCY, THE CITY IS RIGHT ON TOP
THERE'S NO OTHER WAY TO PUT IT, SO LET'S JUST say this right up front - the Honda City is a stupendous car. This is one of those very few cars where the 'premium' tag is more than mere marketing-speak. In thought, design and execution, the Honda comes out on top.
When the current-generation City was launched, in 2003, its styling was a radical departure from anything else available in India at that time. And even today, four years on, there's no car in its segment which looks as modern, as avant-garde, as uber-chic. And the beauty is not just on the surface. The City has one of the most refi ned, most spacious and most comfortable cabins among all cars in its segment. Gearshift quality on the fi ve-speed manual is the very best, while a superb CVT version is also available. And the engines are better still.
The City's 1497cc inline-four is available in two versions –
the 'tuned for fuel effi ciency' i-DSI, and the more performance-oriented VTEC. The former makes 78PS and 125Nm of torque, sprints from zero to 100km/h in 13.8 seconds and hits a top speed of 171km/h.
The VTEC boasts of 101PS and 137Nm of torque, does the 0-100km/h in 11.5 seconds and is capable of doing 186km/h. Both engines offer very good fuel economy, with 18.8kmpl for the i-DSI and 17.6kmpl for the VTEC.
With Honda's legendary refi nement and reliability, great cabin space and ride comfort, and brilliant fuel economy, the Honda City is very deserving of the best premium segment family saloon tag.

Maximum Fuel Economy Meets Reasonably Good Power
Honda's intelligent Dual and Sequential Ignition (i-DSI) engine is the second i-Series engine, next to i-VTEC, that employs compact combustion chambers and two spark plugs per cylinder with individually controlled ignition timing for more rapid and complete combustion.
In developing the i-DSI engine, the objective was to achieve rapid and complete combustion. Since the Honda CVCC days in the early 1970s, Honda has been a great believer in optimizing the combustion process as a means of achieving high performance, high fuel economy and low toxic emissions. In the i-DSI engine, they would seem to have been able to achieve all three.
Narrower valve angles and other refinements have been employed to make the combustion chambers as compact as possible. The i-DSI engine employs an innovative twin spark plug system (two spark plugs per cylinder) for maximum combustion efficiency. In addition, the combustion chamber has been engineered to promote greater swirl of the air-fuel mixture.
The intake manifold shape has also been shaped and its length optimized.
Other refinements include world-leading friction reduction technology utilizing molybdenum-impregnated piston skirts, a rear-port exhaust system and an oblique-feed catalytic converter. And though the 1497 cc long-stroke engine has two valves per cylinder and only a single overhead camshaft, its output is a respectable 77Bhp at 5000 rpm with 125 Nm of torque peaking at a low 2700 rpm.
VTEC Engine
Honda CITY ZX also comes with the latest version of original Honda Variable Valve Timing and Lift Electronic Control (VTEC) engine that employs compact combustion chambers and new design intake port with Narrow Valve angles for Rapid Combustion and reduced friction leading to compatibility of fuel economy and powerful dynamic run.
For maximum engine performance at low engine speeds, the valves need to open and close differently than they do at higher engine speeds. VTEC system is engineering features to change valve timing and lift parameters in response to engine speed characteristics. Its action allows combustion properties to match the demands of current engine operating conditions to the perfection possible, hence delivering both high performance and high efficiency. 100PS, 5800 RPM, alloy wheels and disc brakes give superior performance making driving a sheer pleasure.
Each valve in an engine employing VTEC system is assigned a number of individually shaped cam lobes. These are all formed on the same camshaft and, through the implementation of electronic control, are switched in response to engine conditions using hydraulic pressure, thus enabling the above-mentioned features to be realized.
The 16-valve SOHC VTEC engine powering the CITY ZX has been provided with high speed and low speed cams with different profiles on the intake camshaft. Like its DOHC counterpart, the low-speed cam operates valves in low and mid–speed range and high-speed cam operates in the high-speed range (only for the intake valves in this case). This technique allows the engine to offer the best possible combination of ease-of-driving in everyday driving speeds, high power at high speeds and fuel efficiency.
At low rpm - Only 1 intake valve opens to let the air swirl in, resulting in clean burn and good fuel economy at low engine speeds.
At high rpm - Both the intake valves open at full lift to let the mixture of intake flow in totally, giving high power at high engine speeds.
Smooth, Step-Less Transmission From Engine to Wheels
CVT - Continuously Variable Transmission
The operation of a CVT differs from that of conventional auto transmission, as there are no individual gear ratios, thus eliminating shift shock and lapses as ratios change. It’s like having a single ratio, which operates throughout the rev range. The CVT computer continually monitors throttle opening and duration, and automatically changes driving mode for optimum control. It has an optimized belt speed ratio range and direct control of pulley side pressure to enhance transmission efficiency and fuel economy.
This belt-driven transmission, with infinite ratios, provides acceleration that feels linear to your demand, as well as effective engine braking for linear deceleration.
By eliminating the lull, lurch and wasted energy of conventional gear shifting, Honda CVT makes driving economical. With the improvements carried out, CVT in the City ZX becomes even smoother and more responsive.
CVT Shift Select Positions
D is the Drive mode - for normal daily driving use. The i-DSI engine’s design target is maximum fuel economy coupled with reasonably good power. This means that D mode is optimized for maximum fuel efficiency above everything else, and with peppy performance.
S is the Sports mode - for the time when we demand maximum performance from the Honda City without concern for fuel economy. Throttle response will become very urgent with the car eager to surge forward upon jabbing at the throttle. If the driver wants max performance above economy, he can switch to S mode.
L is the Low mode - for driving at low speeds. It is ideal to select L while driving in hilly areas as it provides ample torque and effective engine braking.
