The company said that it has received at least 9,000 pre-launch bookings for the car since its global unveiling in India on 25 November.
However, initially, the company will only deliver diesel models to its customers and deliveries for petrol models will start by mid-February, Honda Cars India president and chief executive Hironori Kanayama said. “This is because of production constraints,” Kanayama added.
Production at Honda plants got a new lease of life after the company introduced its first diesel engine with sub-4 meter sedan Amaze. Though, the firm is producing cars in three shifts with total capacity going upto 140,000 units per annum, the New City is expected to put further pressure on its factory.
Developed at Honda’s research and development centre in Tochigi, Japan, the car will be first manufactured and sold in India and later in other 60 countries. The company aims to sell 1.2 million cars in Asia-Oceania region, with India accounting for one-fourth of the sales by 2016.
New City will come with sun roof, rear AC vents, eight speakers, five inch multi-function display screen, reverse camera and four charging sockets.
The new City is same in length but has a bigger wheel base, up by 50mm to 2,600mm.
Honda has sold 2.2 million units of the City car globally since it was introduced in 1996.
