Trending Questions on Honda Cars - Answered by Autocar Experts
I want to buy a car for my wife for city driving of about 300-500 km per month. It must be automatic, safe and reliable. My budget is ₹10 lakh ex-showroom. I am torn between a used Honda Amaze at around ₹7 lakh and a new Amaze ZX CVT. Which should I choose?
The Honda Amaze ZX CVT is a good option for your wife. It is a spacious and comfortable car with a smooth CVT gearbox. The ZX variant is well equipped too, with features like a sunroof, a touchscreen infotainment system, and a rear parking camera.
The Amaze is also a safe car, with a 5-star Bharat NCAP crash test rating. The only downside is that the 1.2-litre petrol engine is not very powerful, and the CVT gearbox can be a bit slow to respond when you need a quick burst of acceleration.
If you are looking at a used car, the Amaze is a good option. However, we would recommend you buy a new car, as the price difference is not very large, and you will get the peace of mind of a new car warranty.
I need to change my car and am looking for an automatic petrol model. My monthly running is about 200-300 km in Bangalore city, and my budget is ₹10-12 lakh. Please suggest suitable options.
There are a plethora of automatic petrol cars available within your budget. Given your monthly travel is just 200-300km, we will give less weightage to fuel economy and more weightage to driving comfort. As we don't know other preferences, here's a shortlist of the best options by body style -
Hatchback - Hyundai i20 IVT Asta (O), Citroen C3 X Shine AT
Compact sedan - Honda Amaze CVT ZX
Compact SUV - Nissan Magnite Turbo CVT, Renault Kiger Turbo CVT Emotion
Hello Autocar, kindly help me choose between the Elevate ZX Manual and the Aircross Pure Tech AT for driving in city in weekdays and hills and highways in weekends. I want a fun-to-ride but equally comfortable ride for rear seat passengers.
Both the Honda Elevate and the Citroen Aircross have a very good ride quality and are powered by responsive engines.
For your requirements, you would not go wrong with either. However, to quantify between the two, we would rate the Aircross better in terms of ride quality, engine performance and refinement. Thus, we would recommend you pick the Citroen since driving pleasure and ride quality are very important to you.
However, make sure there is a dealer in your area and in the areas you plan to drive to, as the Citroen network is very sparse at the moment.
I own a pre-owned Gen 3 Honda City that has completed around 1,00,000 kilometres. My annual usage is only about 5,000 kilometres since I use a smaller car for city driving. The vehicle has no mechanical issues, except for its low ground clearance. Could you advise when it would be the right time to upgrade? I am currently considering the Hyundai Alcazar as a possible option.
I am almost finished learning at a driving school and want to buy a new car. My preferences are: 1. City driving 70% and highway is 30% 2. Automatic transmission 3. Safety is the top priority 4. Budget up to 13 lakh 5. Petrol variant 6. The rear seat should comfortably accommodate 3 passengers, and the boot space should be good 7. Planning to keep the car for at least 5 years Since I am new to this, I am seeking suggestions from the experts.
I have a 2018 Maruti Ciaz, and I wish to upgrade. What are my options under ₹15 lakh? My main criteria are rear-seat legroom like my Ciaz and a mileage of at least 10kmpl in city driving. I also want decent power similar to the Ciaz and an automatic transmission.
I want to replace my 2014 Hyundai Grand i10 with a non-Hyundai car. I am considering petrol versions of the Mahindra 3XO Revx A, Honda Elevate, Brezza, and Skoda Kylaq. My budget is Rs 13 lakh on-road. My usage is mostly 15km city driving, with two outstation trips per year. My priorities are low maintenance, mileage, and rear-seat comfort for my two small children. Should I pick the naturally aspirated Honda or one of the turbo options?
I currently own a Bajaj V15 and I am planning to buy a new bike for commuting and occasional long drives. My budget is ₹2 lakh. Please suggest a bike that offers good performance, mileage, and comfort.
Since you haven't specified what displacement range or style of bike you are looking at, we'll give you multiple options to choose from.
The Royal Enfield Hunter 350 is a good option because it will be comfortable, stylish and will give you decent performance and fuel economy too. Another bike worth taking a look at is the Honda CB300F, which is a friendly naked bike that will also be comfortable and fuel-efficient. You can also take a look at the Hero Xpulse 210, which will be far the most comfortable machine of all the bikes mentioned here.
If you want to stick to the same displacement bracket, bikes like the TVS Apache RTR 160 4V and Bajaj Pulsar N160 are the options to consider. Take a test ride of everything you're considering before making a decision.
I have a Suzuki GS150R 2013 model, and I really love this bike. However, now I want to upgrade because I face spare parts shortages every time I visit the service centre. I am looking at the Honda NX200 and the TVS Ronin. My height is 5 feet 3 inches. Please suggest between these two or any other options. My daily ride is 60km, split equally between highway and city usage.
I need advice on buying an automatic car for a 68-year-old self-driving female. The car will be used mainly in the city and very sparingly. I would like all the fancy ADAS benefits, but do not want a sunroof. Fuel efficiency is not important since the car will not be driven much, but it should offer a comfortable ride. I currently own an automatic Honda City and am very happy with it, but my main issue is its low ground clearance. Please suggest the best options within Rs 14 lakh.
