Adding aftermarket modifications, such as alloy wheels, larger tires, o r body kits, can increase the overall weight of the Honda City. Heavier wheels o r tires, in particular, can negatively impact fuel efficiency, as the car requires more power to move the added weight. Additionally, modifying suspension components to support the increased weight can affect the cars ride quality and handling. While modifications like body kits may enhance aesthetics, they can also alter the vehicle’s aerodynamics, possibly reducing fuel efficiency o r affecting the balance and stability of the car.
