1000+ km on one tank! Honda City e:HEV from Bengaluru to Mumbai | Special Feature | Autocar India

The Honda City e:HEV is the most fuel-efficient car we've tested. But can it pull off Bengaluru to Mumbai on a single tank of petrol? Our most frugal driver Rahul Kakar is the man behind the wheel.

[@gauravbhandari732]

Hats off to the driver. Driving 1000kms on 60kmph shows endurance and patience of the driver..

[@HarisKhan-sz2cz]

Driver mat bolo bhai. He is a pro auto reviewer

[@gauravbhandari732]

[@arunprasathmalleshwaran6918]

I appreciate the engineering of this car. But practically speaking, Honda city i-vtec ZX costs ₹17 lakhs which is ₹7 lakhs cheaper than the e:hev which costs ₹24 lakhs. So, we can buy a Honda city i-vtec along with 7000 litres of petrol for the same amount of money and we shall drive 1 lakh kilometres with 7000 litres of petrol (mileage 15kmpl).😅

[@rinku0269]

Driving so slow on the fast lane is such a pain, 80-100kmph would have been good test but experiment makes sense

[@anuragkashyap5625]

35kmpl! That's impressive! With normal driving conditions (100-120kmph) in such a situation, I think we can still get around 25-30kmpl which is impressive too. I did the same drive from Bengaluru to Mumbai last year in my Skoda rapid 1.0 TSI without refueling in between, and it took me around 18 hours to reach and returned a mileage of around 20kmpl. But the caveat in Rapid is the fuel tank capacity is 55L and an option to put additional 5-7L beyond auto-cut.

[@utsavnp]

I don’t understand why the hybrid concept in India is so low. Imagine these engine in all hatchbacks and affordable car!

[@ducatimultistradav4850]

Damn, this is smooth while being a workhorse unlike Crysta. THIS IS WHY I LOVE HONDA. HONDA'S RELIABILITY, ENGINE REFINEMENT ARE PHENOMENONAL...

[@hemanth3060]

Would like to see how Hyryder or Grand vitara fares in similar test as more and more hybrid versions are coming out and people will be able to judge if it's more practical than ev

[@gowherulislam5480]

Great mileage 35 km and the shocking thing is that Hondas claim of fuel efficiency is only 27km but may b honda calculates this at higher speeds of 80 to 90 km/hour

[@charuldeshpande1896]

That 35 km/l mileage is way better than the 10 km/l offered by suv's

[@amitgore]

sir, how about doing return journey at 80KMPH and posting results.

[@shahudeshmukh308]

Umm, covering 1000 KMS path with 60kmph is not worthy, at least 80 kmph must be the factor while doing such run

[@piyushkatariya1040]

India must reduce massive tax (43%) on Hybrid Cars tech. Responsible driving the hybrid (petrol + electric motor) engine car can give you mileage of 35 km per litre ??? Fucking impressive !!! Honda nailed it !

[@sanjubaba7877]

If this mileage was available in an SUV form factor the car would have been a runaway hit. Sedans have few takers these days but very impressive work from Honda on the hybrid system. Amazing mileage. Need of the hour with prices of petrol going up so much

[@turbocharged962]

Maruti vitara and toyota hyryder are on their way. That will surely give around 30kmpl minimum at 60kmph speed.

[@r3nj1th98]

Imagine such a system in an affordable hatchback/ compact suv form factor

Extraordinary Stuff! Never imagined a Petrol based vehicle give out such staggering Numbers! Hatsoff Honda!

My 2014 Honda City diesel has done Chandigarh to udaipur in one tank without hypermile or cruise control Honda engineering is simply brilliant

[@casaanovaa]

And the govt is spending billions in building express ways ....🤔 If PPL only drove at 60 ..guess even a normal engine will also give a unbelievable efficiency ..but hey it's criminal to be a road block in a express way ...

[@gowthamVinayak]

Hats off to that person who driven the car at 60kmph for 1000kms👍

[@Moheendharan]

Man Old Honda city 2014 idtec Mt can go 1000kms in 40 L when we drive in 60 to 70 kmph with only driver .......iam always doing 850+ kms in single full tank of diesel with 90 to 100 kmph speed getting 21.5 kmpl mileage.....my Honda running cost was lower compared to petrol vehicle

[@sharadgupta63]

I drove my 2018 Diesel Ford aspire Pune to Hyderabad with tankful to tankful mileage of 26.7 kmpl normal speed ( 80 to 100 kmph) and the car was 9 Lakh on road

[@akhilrathod2148]

Appreciate your patience! But you should have tried with fellow passengers (3) and with some luggage. That gives real world idea! Speed around 80kmph would have been excellent way to know the real range!

Awesome, please do a similar test with the Toyota Camri hybrid ... !

Like others before me, kudos to the patience and self control for the hypermiling test. What is the real life fuel economy like for this car? Did you guys make a return run driving it in a day to day manner and find out the efficiency hence achieved on the same route? Would have been a nice comparison.

[@rockybox09]

Credit to driver for his patients. But it was a bummer. Because we have test it out in natural driving speed around 100 to 120 kmpl to cover 1000km on single tank would give better in mileage test like this . Because I belive that was real world mileage. Now we found mileage was take by speed under 60 kmpl only ??

[@TheJohn222222]

most cars give 40-50 % of mileage at 120 then they give at 60. so you can expect 16-20 km/l at that speed .

[@TorqueDriven]

Great video mate ‼️😎

[@ephrykottarathil46]

Stop it! This can only be done for an academic purpose. Nobody with brain 🧠 would do this in life... 40 litres of fuel... That's 4 grands there... That's enough to get you an air ticket. Or you can book yourself a rail journey and you'll be able to pay cabs as well... I wouldn't do hypermiling... Just for the sake of bullshitness... It's of absolute no use... Rather find an alternative...

[@theworldinthevlog9970]

Someone in another video's comment mentioned that their non ehev plain City 5th gen gives 30 kmpl on highways. How true is could it be? Then what's the point of this ehev? For cities?

[@SyedMYahya]

If Slavia/Virtus cound haven in city place then couldn't have done in single tank ! Because of city's hybrid system.

[@shahan484]

Well, nobody would drive a slavia or virtus at bloody 60kmph lol

[@mananagrawal7372]

even the regular city would have failed it dude

[@akshaymeshram9546]

80 kmph is ok but 60 kmph is patience game. May be with 80 kmph it will give nearby 28 kmpl, which will be great.
