We recently subjected the Honda City Hybrid through our intensive mileage tests. With a 1.5-litre naturally aspirated petrol engine paired with a strong-hybrid system, the sedan churns out 125bhp/131Nm. Here are our test parameters:

• Weight: 1,310kg
• Driving mode: Default
• AC temperature: 22°C
• Seat ventilation: On

City
• Distance covered: 78.3km
• Fuel consumed: 3.10 litres
• Mileage: 25.25kmpl

Highway
• Distance covered: 80.2km
• Fuel consumed: 3.31 litres
• Mileage: 24.22kmpl

Average fuel economy
• 24kmpl

The City can run on electric power, whenever possible. And that also accounts for highway speeds, where the battery kicks in, even at 90kmph.

Is this the Tigor facelift? Yes, and not quite. The upcoming sub-4-metre sedan will be called Aeris, and it will replace the Tigor. Set to launch on 25 September, here's how we have rendered it from its recent teaser.

There's a new colourway, which is a shade of lavender. We expect it to get the same features as its hatchback sibling, the Tiago. These features could be a 10.25-inch centre screen, LED lighting, fully digital instrument cluster, wireless charger, 360°camera, auto-folding ORVMs, and a rotary drive selector (automatic versions).

The Aeris could essentially be the Tigor under the hood. This means a 1.2-litre petrol (84bhp/113Nm) and CNG (72bhp/96.5Nm) options. A 74bhp/170Nm EV could also follow.

The Mahindra Thar (3-door) facelift has been teased, ahead of its launch, which we anticipate by the end of this month.

From what we have seen with previous spy shots, the Thar facelift has a changed 5-slat grille, projector lights borrowed from the Roxx, and a new alloy design. The cabin could likely get a larger infotainment, analog+digital instrument cluster, and 360° camera.

We don't anticipate any change under the hood. This means the same 2.0-litre turbo petrol (150bhp/300Nm) and 1.5-litre diesel (117bhp/320Nm), paired with 6MT/6AT (torque converter) gearboxes.
