  • The manual transmission can feel jerky at lower speeds

Verdict

The Honda City continues to hold its ground in India's sedan segment well. Owners have often mentioned how it rarely sacrifices everyday practicality, passenger comfort, and long-term reliability, regardless of the generation launched. From our side, we firmly consider this vehicle a reliable car that is intended to provide a relaxed driving experience. Furthermore, the eHEV variant has brought a new age of exceptional fuel economy to the sedan. If you intend to own a dependable, spacious, and family-oriented vehicle, the Honda City remains a highly sensible investment.

Girish’s review summarises this about the sedan,

“The facelift and the enhanced feature list justify the car’s price tag even more. The City has always been like that: a no-nonsense car that gets the job done with very little drama. It still is the same. One can argue whether that is better or not in the current world of make-believe, but there is little doubt it fits into the various Indian scenarios with ease, even more effortlessly now.”
