I own a 2018 Honda City Manual SV Petrol version, and I am planning to buy a new car. I have been driving the Honda City for more than 10-11 years due to the comfort of a luxury sedan. I am confused, as many people are suggesting that I buy an SUV like the Kia Seltos. I did a test drive and liked many of the features, but the comfort of driving a sedan was missing. Personally, my family likes sedans. But I want to know where the Honda City stands in the market. Is it losing market share due to other SUVs and EVs? Should I stick with the Honda City for a pleasurable driving experience and forget about the tech aspect of it? Also, please advise on manual vs automatic, as I feel driving an automatic will take away the pleasure of driving. Nowadays, I have heard that no one is buying manual cars because of the trend and the ease of driving. But I want to know if there is a good driving experience without gears, or if automatics are just for people who can’t manage cars with gears. Also, is the sunroof variant just for aesthetic purposes, or does it really have any usable value, considering most of my driving is in the city? A detailed review would help.
In terms of choosing between manual and automatic, it largely comes down to usage and personal preference. The convenience that an automatic transmission brings in stop-and-go traffic is undeniable, making it the better choice for those with long urban commutes. However, if a manual is what you prefer and the extra effort it requires in the city doesn’t bother you, then that is what you should get.
It’s true the Honda City doesn’t sell as well as it once did in a market dominated by SUVs, but it remains a competent, if somewhat underwhelming, car. If you like the Honda experience and want to upgrade to an SUV, the Elevate is worth considering. It’s a spacious vehicle with good ride and handling and a slick gearbox; however, it is down on features compared to the competition.
If you’d prefer to stick with the sedan formula but want something more engaging to drive, the Skoda Slavia and Volkswagen Virtus should be right up your alley. They are currently among the most enjoyable sedans to drive in the segment and, even in 1.0-litre TSI form, offer more performance than the Honda City. They are also available with a manual, although Volkswagen has recently discontinued the manual on the 1.5 TSI.
Finally, a sunroof is a luxury feature, not an essential. If you don’t find any practical value in it, it’s best avoided.

I currently own a Honda Brio and plan to upgrade to a C‑segment mid‑size sedan in April 2026. I’m considering the Honda City e:HEV and the Hyundai Verna, both of which are expected to receive facelifts this year. Do you know if the facelifted models will be available for booking in April 2026?
The Honda City eHEV is the strong-hybrid version of the City. It is expensive, but if your running is on the higher side, you can take advantage of its high economy. However, the City is showing its age now, and the interior, although spacious, does not feel up-to-date.
The other option would be the Skoda Slavia, which will also get a facelift soon and will feature an updated equipment list. We would recommend holding on until the Slavia facelift is unveiled so you can make a more informed decision.
The Hyundai Verna facelift is expected a little later, around June 2026, and is also rumoured to feature a strong-hybrid powertrain. That could be worth waiting for if you are thinking of buying a strong-hybrid sedan.

Hi, I am planning to buy the Skoda Slavia 1.0 AT but I’m a bit confused about whether I should go for the 1.0 or 1.5 version. My average monthly running will be around 1200 km, mostly on the Noida–Delhi–Gurgaon route, so about 70% city and 30% highway driving. The issue is that I am not getting good deals on the 1.0 right now, and the 1.5 isn’t available in the Sportline trim. I need your suggestion on whether I should wait for the Slavia facelift launch or decide now. Secondly, considering my usage, should I go for the 1.5 or 1.0 Automatic?
The Skoda Slavia 1.0 TSI offers a decent level of performance, and if you are simply looking for a casual, relaxed drive, this will do just fine. The 1.5 litre engine, though, does offer a higher level of performance, so opt for this if you are looking for a fun-to-drive car.
In the city, the 1.0 litre engine will also be a bit more efficient. On the highway, though, the 1.5 tends to return a better average on account of its cylinder deactivation tech. We would definitely recommend waiting for the updated car, as, besides updated styling, there would be some technical upgrades like an improved AC system.

I am looking for a fun-to-drive car under ₹15 lakhs. I am an enthusiastic driver and would like a car with really good performance. Other priorities are a decent list of features, especially a good speaker system. Automatic or manual, both are fine. I want to avoid Maruti and Nissan/Renault cars. I could stretch my budget to ₹20 lakhs if there’s a compelling option.
You have a few options within your budget, but you should choose between the Volkswagen Virtus or the Skoda Slavia. Both sedans are mechanically identical and only differ in terms of aesthetics. You can opt for the one you like the look of.
It's worth opting for the punchy 150hp, 250Nm 1.5-litre turbo-petrol TSI engine that comes mated to a quick 7-speed dual-clutch automatic gearbox. Both sedans offer an excellent balance between ride comfort and handling, which makes them fun to drive.
The Virtus and Skoda Slavia also come well-equipped, with a 10-inch touchscreen, a digital instrument cluster, a sunroof, ventilated front seats, and a great-sounding 6-speaker sound system. The Slavia, however, does have the advantage of a subwoofer over the Virtus. Both sedans have also received a full, 5-star crash safety rating from Global NCAP.

I am looking to buy a petrol manual car with an on-road budget of ₹15-20 lakh. Please suggest a value-for-money option.
You can consider the Skoda Slavia 1.0 TSI manual. It is a well-rounded compact sedan that offers a good balance of space, comfort, and features. The 1.0-litre turbo-petrol engine is peppy and efficient, and the manual gearbox is slick to use. In your budget, you can get the top-spec Monte Carlo trim that gets a well-equipped cabin and all necessary features.
The Slavia also gets a decently long list of features, including a sunroof, a wireless charger, and a connected car tech and a massive boot.
However, if it is an SUV that you want, the Hyundai Venue in its HX8 guise gets you a turbo-petrol engine with 120hp and a slick manual gearbox as well.
It is also loaded with features since it is a top-spec and will be a worthy rival to the Slavia if boot space is not the top priority. Both cars have good ground clearance, so that will not be an issue.

Looking for an automatic petrol car. My city driving is around 10-15 km on average. Budget around ₹15 to 20 lakh.
You have a few options in the Rs 15-20 lakh range, and its hard to pinpoint something without knowing more about your requirements like rear space, features you'd like or even a body style. Since you are driving mostly in the city, we would recommend either the Skoda Slavia or the Kushaq or their Volkswagen counterparts, the Virtus and the Taigun.
The cars offer up a comfortable ride, and even the sedans have plenty of ground clearance. Importantly, the automatic versions come with a torque convertor gearbox, which is the smoothest type of automatic around and something you will appreciate in stop-start and slow city speeds.

We presently own a 2014 Honda City Diesel as our secondary car and an Innova Crysta Diesel as our primary vehicle. Our usage is approximately 60% city and 40% highway. We are considering purchasing a new secondary car; however, upgrade options for sedan enthusiasts are quite limited. Kindly suggest suitable new car options within a budget of ₹20 lakhs.
You're right, the choice of sedans available in the market today has dwindled considerably in recent years, and the midsize sedan segment is being propped up by just four candidates. The good news is that all four of them are expected to be updated in 2026, which should breathe some life into them in the form of updated looks and more features, and whichever car you choose, we recommend waiting until the updated version is launched.
If you're a fan of the Honda City's no-nonsense approach, you'll like the new one, which will feel like a step up from your 2014 model, especially in terms of space and features. However, its single-engine option is limiting, and it is not as fun to drive as before.
The Hyundai Verna is far more versatile and gets an even longer list of features, but it too errs on the safe and unexciting side, even with its 1.5-litre turbo petrol engine. Your best bets are the Skoda Slavia and Volkswagen Virtus, which, with the facelifts, will get a much-needed features upgrade.
They are excellent to drive, yet spacious and comfortable, and a particular highlight is their punchy TSI turbo petrol engines. Choosing between them is a matter of preference, as they are the same car underneath, but either of these is what you should choose.

I currently drive the Octavia A7 2.0 TDI and have clocked 1.60 lakh kms. Car is now out of warranty Looking to upgrade in budget of 30-40 lakh rupees with similar driving dynamics and quality. Please advise
Sadly, there is absolutely nothing in the Rs. 30-40 lakh range that can replace your Skoda Octavia and give you a similar driving pleasure. In fact, there are no sedans at all in that price range, and neither are there any SUVs with the character and feel of the Octavia you are looking for.
The Octavia RS is your best option, but on-road prices around Rs 60 lakh are way beyond our budget. The Skoda Kodiaq in the region of Rs. 50 lakh is less of a stretch, and though it's an SUV, it has Skoda’s DNA of good ride and handling.
If you simply cannot stretch your budget, you can downgrade to the Skoda Slavia 1.5 with the 7-speed DSG. It’s a very entertaining car to drive fast, and being a sedan comes closest to your Octy in terms of character.

I want to buy a sedan with good ground clearance due to the rains in Mumbai, and also don't want a car with high maintenance. I was considering the Skoda Slavia or the Hyundai Verna. Please suggest.
Given your requirements, you should consider the Hyundai Verna. The Skoda Slavia does have a higher ground clearance of 179mm, compared to the Verna's 165mm ground clearance. However, in terms of maintenance, the Hyundai car should be easier and more affordable. The Verna also comes with a better 3-year/unlimited km standard warranty compared to the Slavia's 3 year/1,00,000km standard warranty.

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.
