The City petrol gets ADAS, which, on higher trim levels, includes adaptive cruise control, automated emergency braking, and lane-keep assist. Until recently, the City Hybrid was the only vehicle with ADAS. Honda has added a new feature to the City Hybrid's ADAS system called ‘Low-Speed Follow’, which enables the driver to maintain a safe distance from the vehicle in front of them. A ‘Lead Vehicle Departure Notification System’ in the car alerts the driver when the car in front of them starts to move.
