Priced from Rs 11.23 lakh the City continues to stay competitive in an SUV frenzy market
The Honda City is one of the most practical, comfortable, and fun to drive offerings in the segment and is available with both, petrol as well as diesel engine options. With the rivals like the Hyundai Verna, Maruti Ciaz, and the new Skoda Slavia, Honda City faces stiff competition in the segment. Here are the top five reasons why you should consider the City if you are planning to buy a mid-size sedan.
Comfort Matters
The comfort levels offered by the Honda City are one of the best in the segment
The firth-gen Honda City gets a softer-suspension setup that helps in improving the ride quality by a fair margin. The suspension not only absorbs all the undulations very well but also offers a great balance of dynamics, hence eliminating most of the body roll.
The result? The passengers inside stay comfortable and long highway trips remain fatigue-free. In addition to this, the City also offers commendable space in the second row, which is better than most of the rivals. The taller passengers however may feel that the headroom could have been better.
Keeps The Enthusiast In You Happy
The City is a fun to drive sedan and offers an involving experience
The Honda City has always been regarded as a true driver’s car and this one is no different. Honda stiffened up the chassis to compensate for a softer suspension setup and has tuned the steering really well. The car not only gets impressive dynamics, but the steering offers a decent feel and feedback as well. In all, the complete setup will keep the drivers happy and confident while pushing the car hard.
Frugal Diesel Engine
The Honda City comes with a 1.5-L i-DTEC diesel engine that is claimed to deliver over 24kmpl, thus making it one of the most fuel-efficient sedans on sale in India. The Honda City is the only sedan in the segment after the Hyundai Verna to be offered with a diesel powertrain and will be a great choice for anyone looking for affordable running costs. This engine churns out 100 PS and 200 Nm of peak torque.
Refined and Powerful Naturally Aspirate Petrol Engine
The Honda City takes on the rivals like the Hyundai Verna, Maruti Ciaz, and the Skoda Slavia
In an age where every second car manufacturer is now offering small turbocharged engines, it is the Honda City that still gets a large and powerful naturally aspirated petrol motor. This engine may not be as wild as the turbocharged ones but cleanly revs up as high as 7,000 RPM, thus making it a delightful experience for hardcore enthusiasts. In addition, this 1.5-L i-VTEC motor is extremely reliable and with all the new updates, now boasts improved refinement levels. Unfortunately, the rivals do offer better outright performance.
After-Sales Support
Planning to buy a new sedan in India? Here is why you should consider the Honda City
Honda is renowned for its supreme after-sales support and this helps the Honda City deliver a fuss-free experience to the owners. Not only are the spares not very expensive, but the long-term reliability is great and in all, if you are planning to hold on to your car for long, the Honda City should be a great choice for you.
