Overall, the car is great as a daily car. Coming from a much smaller sedan car, I expected this car to consume more fuel especially since it is more powerful. However, to my surprise, on the first week of owning it I have hit about 20.7km/litre of fuel.

I've been driving the Grace Hybrid for a year. This is a long term review of the car. We switched to Honda from a premium European brand for reliability reasons. Before selecting the Grace, we considered the City from the authorised dealer. Comparing specs, performance figures, country of origin and amount of kit provided, the Grace wins hands down. Just make sure you get yours from a parallel importer with ready stocks, to reduce any uncertainties. Given the fact that this isn't one of Honda's most popular models, you may be able to negotiate deeper discounts with your PI, which translates to even greater value for money!

Speed, fuel efficiency, Rear aircon, with low cost `

Previously was driving a Honda jazz and upgraded to the Honda Grace Hybrid. I would really get this over Honda City due to the engine type used. Drove the car (DX version) for 3 weeks+, I am amazed by the car performance and also the fuel efficiency. Really a car that is economy friendly yet sufficiently powerful for singapore's traffic condition. Though the fuel efficiency was not as high as what was advertised, it still meets the required performance. If you learnt to train on your stepping pedal habits, the fuel efficiency can go as high as 25km/l on average per full tank (as compared to the advertised 34.4km/l). I personally tried to be 90% Highway in a single trip, did not get even close to 34.4km/l. The max i got was about 31km/l. (Maybe you need to be 100% Highway)
The function of what you want for your car will heavily dependent on the price you willing to afford. You could get a price in between DX and LX to suit your needs :)
My DX had additional,
-keyless engine starts
-Auto Headlights
-Bluetooth interface
-smarts key function
-Remote boot release
-Reverse Cam
-Leather seats

The Hybrid City Made For The City `

Firstly, for those who are new to hybrids, the hybrid technology is one that improves fuel efficiency and also at the same time giving extra power. Many would have the false impression that hybrid cars are slow and underpowered. However, the Grace Hybrid proves itself to be built for efficiency and power.
For the people who read my other reviews, many would know that I own an Audi SQ5 since 2018. Not long ago, I also registered yet another compact family hatchback, the Honda Fit Hybrid into my family. Now that my father is retired, he spends most of his time going out with his friends for coffee or just going around the Singapore Island, discovering places he has never been to. Before this, he owns his own car so transportation wasnt an issue. Now that he is retired and his car has been scrapped, he would need a new car to drive as it is a little inconvenient for him to be taking public transport over a long distance. As he is already retired, I thought that I should buy him a new car as he probably does not have much cash to spare. Hence, I brought him down to PI to pick a model. As he is not really a car guy, he told me to pick a car that is affordable, fuel efficient and yet spacious on the inside. I had wanted to purchase a Toyota Noah for him however, he feels that the car was too big and he would not use all of the 7 seats as well. Hence, after much deliberation between the Toyota Prius Hybrid, Honda Shuttle Hybrid and Honda Grace Hybrid, I booked the Honda Grace Hybrid for a few reasons.
On a side note, we collected the car a week ago.
