Trending Questions on Honda City - Answered by Autocar Experts

Asked by: Nishanton Nov 26, 2025

I am looking to buy a petrol automatic, preferably a sedan. My on-road budget is ₹20 lakh. What are my options?

Given your requirement and budget, you currently have four options. The Skoda Slavia and Volkswagen Virtus are mechanically identical, and they stand out for their punchy turbo petrol engine options and ride and handling balance.

The Honda City has a refined 1.5-litre naturally-aspirated petrol engine and has the best back seat. The Hyundai Verna, meanwhile, has the most features, and it can be had with either a turbo-petrol or a naturally-aspirated petrol engine.

The Slavia, Virtus and Verna have also received a full, 5-star safety rating from Global NCAP.

Asked by: Dhirendra pratapon Nov 26, 2025

I want to buy a new car. My monthly running is around 4,000 km. Which option will be more budget-friendly for me, EV or hybrid? I am currently driving a Swift Dzire diesel. Please suggest which car I should buy.

If you have access to home charging and there's a good network of EV chargers around you, an electric car makes sense as it will give you lower running costs than hybrid or ICE vehicles. But if you don't have consistent access to EV chargers and you frequent road trips, you'd find more value in a strong hybrid.

Since your running is so high, you'll appreciate a strong hybrid's frugal nature as well. As for your options, there are currently three strong hybrid midsize SUVs on sale that all share the same powertrain - the Maruti Suzuki Grand Vitara, the Maruti Suzuki Victoris and the Toyota Urban Cruiser Hyryder.

If you want a sedan, there's the Honda City e:HEV, or if you want an MPV, there's the Toyota Innova HyCross and the Maruti Suzuki Invicto.

Asked by: Sreejithon Nov 24, 2025

I own a 2015 Jazz diesel and am planning to upgrade. Please advise which car provides space like the Jazz, along with good driving quality and fuel efficiency. I travel 1200 km a month, mostly in city traffic. My budget is around 20–25 lakhs. I can opt for a sedan or a hatchback.

Given your requirements, you should consider the Honda City e:HEV strong hybrid. The City has a comfy and spacious cabin, and being a Honda car, you'll appreciate the drive quality and the familiarity to your Jazz.

The Honda City strong hybrid has a claimed mileage of 27.26kpl, so it should also be more efficient than your Jazz diesel in the city. The City e:HEV is available in a single, fully-loaded ZX trim that's priced at Rs 19.48 lakh (ex-showroom), but dealers are offering sizeable year-end discounts on the sedan.

Asked by: Bharat Anandon Nov 24, 2025

Looking to buy a vehicle for city use with a daily running of 40-50 km and a budget below 20 lakhs. My top priority is back seat comfort, as it will be chauffeur-driven since my wife doesn’t drive. Vehicle safety is also a top priority. I am open to any body style. Kindly suggest.

The MG Hector is a great pick if rear seat comfort is your top priority. It has a very spacious and airy cabin, and rear seat comfort is good too. What also strengthens Hector's case is that ride comfort at low city speeds is plush. The Hector petrol makes sense given that you aren’t looking for a vehicle for city driving. Do bear in mind that the Hector petrol's fuel economy is poor.

There are also other options that deliver a good rear seat experience. Our top picks include the Hyundai Creta, Mahindra XUV700, Honda City and Kia Carens Clavis.

You could also wait for the Tata Sierra, which could be a comfortable option worth considering.

Asked by: Darshan N Karthaon Nov 23, 2025

Hi. We are a family of four. I own a Honda Brio S MT from 2015, which has clocked 1.15 lakh km. I also use my brother’s Honda City V MT i-VTEC and my father’s Celerio AMT. My usage is very limited, around 15-20 km in city traffic and, fortnightly, 50-70 km between the city and village. Occasionally, I may take long-distance trips. I am looking for an automatic car to replace the Brio. Which is best suited to my usage pattern among the available vehicles?

Since you’re already a Honda owner and have had a positive experience with your Brio and the Honda City, the most natural and sensible upgrade from the Brio is the Amaze Automatic. Its CVT gearbox is particularly well-suited to your daily city commute, delivering smooth, seamless power without the jerks you typically feel in AMTs. This makes driving in traffic noticeably easier and far more refined.

Beyond the advantages of the CVT, the Honda Amaze itself is a well-engineered car with a comfortable ride and tidy handling, so your occasional highway or city-to-village runs will be easy and stress-free as well.

Asked by: umang yagyion Nov 13, 2025

I want to buy a sedan and I’m deciding between the Honda City automatic and the Skoda Slavia automatic. Which one should I choose?

The Honda City has some inherent strengths. It's got a responsive 121hp, 1.5-litre petrol engine and a smooth CVT automatic gearbox that make it a great city car; the rear seat comfort is excellent, and it also comes with the peace of mind associated with Honda ownership. The City is a sedan you can’t go wrong with, and it’s the more level-headed buy.

The Skoda Slavia has a lively 115hp, 1.0-litre turbo-petrol engine, quick-shifting 6-speed torque converter automatic gearbox, and crisp handling, making it the more engaging car to drive. It also comes better equipped and does well for itself on rear seat comfort, too. The Skoda also has the tougher build, the plusher ride and superior refinement.

In our city and highway test loops, the Honda City mileage for the CVT variant stands at 12kpl and 16.4kpl, respectively, clearly outperforming the Slavia mileage, which delivers 10.5kpl and 13.4kpl.

In terms of warranty, the Slavia comes with a standard four-year or 1,00,000km plan, while the City gets you three years/unlimited km warranty. In conclusion, go for the Honda City if you want rear seat comfort and will drive mainly in city confines, and opt for the Skoda Slavia if you prioritise driving pleasure. Read our full comparison review of the two sedans for a more in-depth understanding.

Asked by: Sairaj Mhetreon Nov 12, 2025

My budget is ₹12-15 lakh. I need a car for a family of five, with priorities in this order: safety, reliability, comfort on bad roads, value for money, and highway comfort. I’m not keen on gimmicky features. I’m leaning toward the Citroen Aircross X but also considering the 3XO, Taisor, and Honda City.

We suggest going for the Citroen Aircross X or the Basalt as they are larger than the Mahindra 3XO, Toyota Urban Cruiser Taisor or even the Honda City.

Both are these Citroen cars are spacious, have excellent ride quality, and offer great comfort in the front and rear seats. The turbo petrol engine has ample power for city and highway use, and the massive boot adds to its practicality. While it misses out on a few features compared to the Mahindra XUV 3XO, it more than makes up for it with comfort and practicality, which perfectly suit your needs.

Asked by: Nithinon Nov 12, 2025

I travel around 1,800 km per month, with about 70% highway and 30% city usage. Please advise which fuel option to choose. My priority is mileage.

Considering your requirements, a diesel car makes a lot of sense. With your running exceeding 20,000 km annually, the higher fuel efficiency of a diesel engine will help you save a significant amount of money. And since most of your usage is on highways, you won’t face DPF issues that BS6 diesel engines often experience when driven primarily at low speeds in the city.

You could also consider a petrol-hybrid if one fits within your budget. Cars like the Maruti Suzuki Victoris, Toyota Urban Cruiser Hyryder, or Honda City Hybrid can deliver over 20kmpl, whether you’re driving in the city or on the highway, making them highly efficient and practical options.

Asked by: Mahesh Desaion Oct 31, 2025

I want to upgrade my Swift ZXI. Which automatic car is the best option within a budget of ₹20 lakh?

There are plenty of options in your budget. If you want a sedan, your options include the Honda City, which comes with a CVT automatic. Other good options include the Hyundai Verna, Volkswagen Virtus, and Skoda Slavia, all offering two automatic gearbox choices.

Go for the City or the Verna with the CVT gearbox, as they’ll be more efficient than the others.

As for SUVs, you'll get most midsize SUVs in your budget. However, you can choose between the Hyundai Creta, Kia Seltos, or Maruti Suzuki Victoris; all three offer a good blend of a refined driving experience, features, and fuel efficiency.

Asked by: Mehli Mehtaon Oct 30, 2025

I have been using an employer-provided Honda City automatic for the last 10 years and am satisfied with it. My driving is entirely within Mumbai and averages about 1,000 km per month. I want a petrol automatic with good rear-seat legroom and decent boot space like my Honda City. Good fuel economy and robust build with good ground clearance are also important to me. Would you recommend the new Honda City Hybrid or the Skoda Slavia?

The Honda City Hybrid better meets your needs. It's got a comfier back seat than the Skoda Slavia, is much more fuel-efficient, and you'll also appreciate the familiarity with your current Honda City.

Dealers have also been offering sizeable discounts on the City Hybrid, which will sweeten the deal further.
