This engine is mated to a six speed manual transmission, which featured optimized gear ratios for frugal performance.
The 2014 City hits 100 kmph in 12.8 seconds and has a top speed of 163 Km/h. ARAI states that this engine gives a fuel economy of 26 Km/l and that makes the City the most fuel efficient car in the country.
