Honda now offers E20 compliant cars in India:??Honda has made all its cars in India E20 fuel compliant, well ahead of the 2025 deadline, marking a significant step toward a greener future. A component of India's drive for cleaner energy and lower emissions is E20 fuel, a blend of 20% ethanol and 80% gasoline.?
As gas stations switch to E20, Honda makes sure its cars are prepared for the future with this action, facilitating a more seamless transition for consumers. All Honda cars are affected by this update, which reaffirms the company's dedication to sustainability without sacrificing functionality.
Honda's early adoption of E20 helps India meet its biofuel targets and provides consumers with an economical and practical eco-friendly driving choice.?
E20 compliance indicates that a car is built to run safely on E20 fuel, a mixture of 80% gasoline and 20% ethanol. Made from crops like maize and sugarcane, ethanol is a sustainable biofuel that helps cut carbon emissions and our reliance on fossil fuels.?
An automobile's engine, fuel system, and other parts must be altered to withstand the increased ethanol level without corroding or performing poorly to be E20 compliant. E20 fuel supports India's biofuel mandate and improves air quality because it burns cleaner. E20-compliant automobiles offer flexibility throughout the switch by running on E10 and E20 fuels.?
Honda Cars India recently announced that all of its vehicles built since January 1, 2009, are certified by the government to run on E20 (20% ethanol mixed) gasoline. Honda is now the only automobile manufacturer in India to have all its models in compliance with this government rule far before the deadline.?
This implies that, even if you own a second-generation Honda City, you may safely fill up the fuel tank with E20 gasoline without worrying about replacing any parts of your vehicle.??
The Elevate SUV, the second-generation 2024 Amaze sub-4m sedans, and the fifth-generation City and City Hybrid sedans are all now available from Honda Cars India. The most recent generational update for the Amaze brought segment-first ADAS functionality.?
On the other hand, the City received a unique Apex Edition with a few minor cosmetic changes most recently. The Elevate is now available in a new Black and Signature Black Edition with an all-black theme.?
Honda has long enjoyed a devoted following in India, creating a small market niche. Not to mention the Honda City's enormous national appeal. Although it may not result in a significant increase in sales, Honda may benefit slightly from the increased trust that this recently obtained accreditation is expected to foster among consumers. In any case, the brand's forward-thinking approach is still admirable.? ?
The 1.5-litre iVtec naturally aspirated petrol engine that powers the Honda City and Elevate produces 119 horsepower and 145 Nm of peak torque. Either a 6-speed manual or a 7-step CVT automatic transmission handles transmission functions.?
In contrast, the Amaze's 1.2-litre iVtec naturally aspirated petrol engine produces 89 horsepower and 110 Nm maximum torque. Either a five-speed manual or a seven-step CVT automatic transmission handles transmission chores.?
Additionally, the City has a robust hybrid powertrain option that consists of two electric motors and a 1.5-litre, four-cylinder, Atkinson Cycle gasoline engine. Combined with the motors, the former generates 125 horsepower and 253 Nm of peak torque, with 96 horsepower and 10 9 Nm of torque. An e-CVT unit is standard on the transmission front end.?
