Hello guys! Welcome to CarsReboot. Today we're gonna discuss about the all-new 2020 Honda City which was unveiled recently. We're now gonna look into each and every aspect one by one. What are you waiting for?
Let's go..!
1. Design : Honda City has always been a proper looking sedan and this doesn't mean other competitors are bad lookers but City had a better edge than others is what I intend to say.
Honda always stood as someone who stands above all and City is no exception with its increased width and length which makes it stand apart from the crowd and in my opinion, this is the best looking city of all times because of the inspiration it was built on(Civic and Amaze). Its front is dominated by the thick chrome bar that resembles us of the Amaze and the 9 array LED's among which 6 are for low beam and 3 for highbeam is very nice as well. The Rear also seems good with the LED strip and the tail of the car looks simple and elegant to be precise. Honda says that they've worked much on reducing the noise levels that creep inside from the engine. But I'd keep this to the end as its completely a customer's thought on how silent it is.
2. Engines : Honda City is offered with a new BS6 compliant 1.5lit IVTEC that churns out 119bhp and 145Nm of torque and an IDTEC engine that produces a healthy 99bhp and 200Nm of torque and the petrol is offered in both CVT & in manual that claims to be providing a respective 18.4 and 17.6kmpl mileage which is pretty nice for its segment and the diesel provides a staggering 24.1kmpl which might not be that appealing as Verna is offering 25 but having increased in proportionsand in weight of around 64kgs, I really feel this mileage is a very nice figure and an automatic would be really appreciated but Honda says that they don't think an automatic would be needed in diesel but I feel its need in the ever increasing demand for them as we progress into future. What do you think about it? Do we require a diesel automatic? Comment "Yes" if you feel the requirement.
3. Interiors and features : Honda City's interiors haven't seen a complete overhaul but they're fresh for sure with the new leather seats and the colours used inside do create a better appeal and airiness for the customers especially the rear seats are great with the 3 fixed headrests and rear ac vents that look unique.
Sadly, Honda isn't offering us with any new colours for the exteriors but it looks subtle in my opinion with no nonsense at all. Honda City is offered with plenty of features and among them the digital instrument cluster, lane watch cameras, tilt and telescopic steering, alexa built in, android and apple carplay, ge-force meter(only for india and malaysian markets) and also a sunroof, TPMS, connected car tech and all are pretty useful and thoughtful ones in my opinion because none of the competiors in this segment have this thoughful features list except Verna and above all, Honda says that the shell of the city is now more rigid with the use of AHSS in it and to prove it, Honda has scored themselves a 5-star safety rating in the ASEAN Encap which is excellent in its segment.
Verdict : In my opinion, Honda has done a fantastic job by offering the indian market with the 2020 Honda City and is now looking more mature and even more stylish yet elegant and the way it drives is smooth yet refined and if they could price the city at around 10 - 14.8 Lakhs, it would be really a bang for buck and with all the features it has, the improved ride quality, appealing interiors and all makes it a nice place to be in. So, I would give a strong 3.8/5 for the City considering all the features, comfort it provides and also the design looks stellar with improved updates and reliability of their vehicles as well.
After all these, you might get a doubt on where did it loose and I'll discuss about them as well.
Features like ventilated seats, an automatoc gearbox, adjustable headrests at rear and even a better clarity in camera feed quality, good quality screen for the infotainment system and all were expected because its in a segment where people always have their eyes on and Honda missed some of them but on an overall, its a pretty good offering for sure.
