The City CNG, which is powered by a 1.5-litre engine that runs on both petrol and CNG, features electronic fuel injection and a unique suspension design.

Cool.


I'm really more interested in that "unique" suspension, but there is simply no information on it.

...I hope it's a IRS..

Multilink suspension like the FIT EV? With the gas tank on the back, Honda need to revamp the strength of the suspension anyway. Too hard and the ride suffers, too soft and you'll get seasick on the long drive.

However I'm expecting something less drastic... Perhaps Civic Euro fluid filled suspension bushing? It is after all based on the same platform as the Fit/Jazz/City.

Well if it is the bushing then they would have written "slightly change suspension" or something like that..... "UNIQUE suspension"...... hmmmmmmm
