The ZX trim gets benefits between Rs 1.3 lakh to Rs 1.6 lakh depending up on the gearbox option. The ZX trim with CVT gearbox gets cash discount of Rs 1.10 lakh whereas the manual version gets Rs 80,000 only. Exchange bonus worth Rs 50,000 is also available on these variant.

Honda plans to reduce the number of trims to two in the fourth generation City. Honda City will only be available in SV and V trims. The higher variants will be discontinued and the CVT gearbox option will also be taken away. This will make thing easier and will avoid overlap as both the models are currently on sale. This could be the reason behind higher discount on top-end trims.
