Asked by: Satishon Jan 11, 2026
I am confused about choosing between the Thar 4×2 petrol, Tata Curvv, and the Honda City. Please help me decide which one to choose.
That's a very varied set of cars in your shortlist, and it would be hard to pinpoint one without knowing your specific requirements. The Mahindra Thar is a good option if you want a rugged SUV to take on bad roads. If you really like the image, if not its not better than the others as a daily driver, as the ride over medium bumps and patchy city streets is very busy. Also, the refinement, too, will not be as nice as the Honda City in particular.
The Tata Curvv will be more refined than the Mahindra Thar and will feel more premium inside, too. Plus, it will have sufficient ground clearance for most bad roads in and about the city. So this is a good buy if very rough roads are not something you encounter.
The Honda City would be best if you like to drive, as the handling of a sedan will feel better than the Thar and the Curvv. Also, we assume you live in an area with reasonably good roads.

I have a budget of around ₹30 lakh and am more inclined towards a sedan rather than an SUV, but currently there are no good options. Are there any expected this year?
Sadly, there are no all-new Rs 25-30 lakh sedans lined up for launch this year. However, slightly lower down the price ladder, we will see the launch of updated versions of the Hyundai Verna, Honda City, Skoda Slavia and Volkswagen Virtus over the year.
There's way more choice for the same budget in SUVs with options spanning petrol, diesel, hybrid and EV powertrains as well as with two and three rows of seating, and 4x2 and 4x4.

Hello, Sir/Madam. I own a 2009 Honda City that has clocked 2.55 lakh kilometres, and I am extremely happy with it. It's like my second wife. However, due to family pressure, I am now considering upgrading to a new car. I drive around 1,500km a month, mostly on highways, and we are a family of five. The cars I am considering are the XUV 7XO, Invicto, new Seltos, Elevate, or a used Innova Crysta. I would also like advice on an automatic hatchback or compact SUV for my wife. Please advise.
Given you have a family of five, a larger car would work better to accommodate luggage as well, in case any of your 1,500 monthly kilometres are family driving holidays. Since you're used to the rock-solid reliability of the Honda City, we would recommend the Maruti Suzuki Invicto from your shortlist.
The hybrid powertrain of this Maruti car is incredibly efficient, smooth, refined, and very comfortable, and it should be reliable enough to last as long as your City has. The other midsize SUVs you have listed are also good, but they will not offer the same space, comfort, and flexibility as the Invicto.

I have been very happy with the Honda City and drive only about 5,000km a year. I now need to purchase a new car, but am unable to decide between the Honda Elevate and the Honda City.
The Honda City and Elevate are similar in many respects, and the choice largely comes down to your preferred body style. The Elevate, with its higher ground clearance, is better suited to handling the unpredictability of Indian roads. Its practical boot (though City has a larger boot on paper, but Elevate's boot is easier to use), high seating position, and airy cabin are added advantages. The Elevate also gets a larger touchscreen and a more modern interior layout. So we would suggest go for Honda Elevate.

I’m looking to upgrade my vehicle within six months and my budget is ₹25 lakh. I am a sedan lover. Please suggest a car that is value for money, offers good mileage, has moderate maintenance costs, and strong safety standards.
Unfortunately, there are very few sedan options available today, and between Rs 20 to 30 lakh, you would only find the Honda City Hybrid. The City will meet your requirements of good mileage and low maintenance cost, however this variant isn't really value for money at all.
Thus, we would suggest you consider the Hyundai Verna instead. The car may not be as fuel-efficient as the Honda, but it is efficient enough.
We put the 1.5 litre turbo petrol auto through our standard test cycle, and it returned 10.76kpl in the city and 16.05kpl on the highway. The Verna is also well equipped and offers good value, and will be reliable and low on maintenance costs. It also secured a 5-star rating in the GNCAP crash tests.

Asked by: Amrit Jamion Dec 29, 2025
I have been using a Honda City for the last 13 years and am now looking to buy a new sedan. Honda has discontinued the Civic, and Skoda has discontinued the Octavia. What would be a good replacement if I do not want to move to BMW or Audi and prefer a car that is comfortable and suited for city driving?
Yes, the sedan market is unfortunately hanging on by a thread, especially at the mass market end of the spectrum. As such, there's not much available between midsize sedans like the Honda City and Volkswagen Virtus, and luxury offerings from BMW, Mercedes-Benz and Audi. However, depending on your budget, there are two routes you could go down.
First, the Toyota Camry, which, despite costing close to ₹50 lakh, offers excellent value when you look at the overall package. The other is the BYD Seal, which also offers strong value at a similar price point, along with impressive electric performance.
Of the two, the Camry might be better suited to your needs as it's more comfortable and relaxed for city driving, though the Seal is more engaging from behind the wheel.

Asked by: Vivek Bhargavon Dec 26, 2025
Hello, I'm a Honda fanboy and looking to buy a new vehicle in 2026. Inclined towards a subcompact SUV. Will Honda launch the WRV? I have checked the Elevate and really liked it. But the automatic variant is above my budget. My regular usage will be on the highway, going to my hometown and back. Plus, once or twice a month 200 km one-sided and basic city runs on the weekends.
While there are plans for Honda to eventually re-enter the compact SUV segment, they are unfortunately very far away. While Honda is reportedly planning 10 new model launches for India by 2030, the compact SUV will likely be one of the last of these. Honda plans to first launch CBU-imported halo products, followed by a localised midsize electric car based on the Honda Zero Alpha, then new-gen ICE and hybrid replacements for the City and Elevate on a new platform. Finally, after these, there is a chance this new platform could be scaled down to a compact SUV once the development costs have been absorbed, but given the expected launch cycle, this won't be before 2028-29.
If you're really a fan of the Honda Elevate, see if you can stretch your budget to buy one new. Or better yet, check out the used market for a lightly-driven example that's not too old, which you should get at a better price. Check out Spinny for vetted and approved used examples.

Asked by: Maheshon Dec 24, 2025
I am having a Honda City ZX 2006 model in very good condition, which has been driven 82000 kms. But nowadays, servicing costs are increasing due to ageing spare parts. Confused whether to retain the car or buy a new sedan, which comes with more features. Meanwhile, I don't want to spend much on a car because it is a depreciating asset. Please suggest a budget-friendly car with good mileage and safety features.
If you are happy with your old Honda City, why not consider the new one? It maintains the same traits of reliability, comfort, fun driving dynamics and a strong engine - all of which have improved considerably since 2006, while also packed with modern trappings and safety features.
If you want to lower your budget further, the Honda Amaze is worth considering. It is just a City in a more compact package and includes features such as six airbags and ADAS. This Honda car has also received a 5-star Bharat NCAP rating.

Asked by: Subraon Dec 22, 2025
I am a loyal Honda customer and have driven an Accord in the Gulf and currently own a Honda City in India. I would now like to replace my car with an automatic. I am considering the Volkswagen Virtus, Hyundai Verna, and the Honda City e-HEV. Please advise.
The Honda City e-HEV is the best option for you. It is a spacious, comfortable, and feature-loaded sedan that is also very efficient. The 1.5-litre petrol engine is smooth and refined, and the electric motor adds a nice dose of performance, especially in the city.
The downsides are that the boot space is a bit small, and at Rs 19.48 lakh (ex-showroom), it is pricey. But since you love the Honda brand, the City e-HEV represents the best option out of the contenders you've mentioned.

Hi, we are a family of three adults and one teenager. Over the past 10 years, we have owned a Honda Brio S MT, a Honda City V MT, and a Maruti Celerio AMT. The biggest advantage has been very low maintenance and minimal to no electrical or mechanical issues. We are now planning to buy a new automatic transmission car (non-AMT, as we want to avoid shift jerks). Any body type is acceptable. We plan to make the purchase in the next 6 to 12 months, with a budget of up to ₹17 lakh. Our main requirements are good city mileage, good safety, and decent performance.
Since you have been happy with the Hondas in your family, why not consider the 5th-generation Honda City, currently on sale? It features a very flexible and strong 1.5-litre engine mated to a CVT automatic transmission, which is both jerk-free and smooth. Also, it will give you the same trouble-free experience you have enjoyed with your current Hondas.
If you are looking for a change, you could consider the 1.0 AT variants of the Skoda Slavia or Volkswagen Virtus, both of which have a smooth torque converter auto transmission, which is much smoother than the AMTs you want to avoid.
