What is the fuel average of Honda City manual?

The Honda City with a manual transmission typically delivers around 17–18 km/L in mixed driving, depending on the market and model year.


Fuel economy figures for the Honda City manual vary by country, engine version, and testing cycle. While some markets still offered a 5‑speed manual in certain trims, official ratings come from regional tests (such as ARAI in India or EPA in other regions) and real-world results can differ based on driving conditions, maintenance, and driving style.


Market variations and official ratings


Below are representative official figures for markets where the manual transmission has been offered. Numbers can change with new model years and local testing standards.



  • India — Honda City 1.5L i-VTEC MT: about 17.8 km/L (ARAI).

  • Other markets — Official numbers vary by year and region; manual variants generally fall in the mid-teens to high-teens, depending on the test cycle and tuning.


Note that real-world fuel economy may differ from official ratings due to factors like traffic, climate control use, driving style, tire condition, and maintenance. In typical city driving, manual variants may show lower mpg than highway driving, where gearing can keep speeds steady and mpg higher.


Driving factors that influence fuel economy


Powertrain and gearing


The efficiency of a 5‑speed manual depends on engine tuning, gear ratios, and how smoothly a driver shifts. In steady highway cruising, a well‑matched manual can achieve strong mpg, while frequent stop‑and‑go driving often lowers it.


Maintenance and conditions


Regular maintenance—oil changes, air filter cleanliness, proper tire pressure, and timely spark plug service—helps maintain optimal fuel economy. Driving habits such as gradual acceleration and early braking also play a significant role.


Summary


For those considering a Honda City with a manual transmission, expect roughly 17–18 km/L in mixed conditions, with regional variations and model-year differences. Always check the official rating for your specific market and year, and compare it with your real-world driving to gauge typical fuel economy.
