car&bike Expert Take
“There is a reason behind Honda City's dominance in India’s mid-size sedan market. It has delivered comfort, a smooth driving experience, and low maintenance charges for over 28 years. This isn't a car for driving enthusiasts, though; it mostly focuses on offering a spacious cabin that suits city commutes as well a long journeys.”

When the Honda City first came to India in 1998, it began to slowly build a legacy in the subcontinent's mid-size sedan segment. To keep up with evolving trends, the Japanese manufacturer kept releasing one model of the Honda City after another, ensuring it stayed relevant in every era. At first, it debuted as a compact sedan, but now it has become a more premium and confident offering. While it's not one of the best-selling cars in India, it is no doubt among the country's best-selling sedans, with 25% of its global sales coming from the subcontinent.
Our Senior Editor Shams Raza Naqvi reviewed the Honda City facelift a few years back; you can check out the video on our car&bike YouTube channel. We also published some extra reviews on the website, such as Girish Karkera’s piece on the Honda City’s 2023 facelift, and another article by Subham Parashar comparing the city with its closest competitors. We have mentioned snippets from these experts throughout this article.
The car&bike team's reviews mostly refer to the Honda City's fifth generation, which has undergone significant enhancements from a sporty mesh grille to Level 2 ADAS technology. Honda also currently sells two engine setups for the car, and both are solid offerings that satisfy the overall driving experience.

As Shams elaborates,
“India's love story with the Honda City continues through multiple generations and facelifts.”
Pros
- The cabin offers ample space
- The 1.5-Litre i-VTEC petrol engine is refined
- Ride quality is exceptionally comfortable
- Standard six airbags and Level 2 ADAS features
Cons
- The feature list lacks some premium additions
- Rear seat headroom is tight for taller passengers
- There is no diesel or turbo-petrol engine option
- 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.”

- Honda CIty A Stylish Blend of Comfort and Performance4.0V CVT Petrol [2023-2026](Petrol)The Honda City is a car that combines sleek styling with reliable performance, making it an excellent choice for those who appreciate both looks and functionality. After owning it for a while, I can confidently say it’s a joy to drive, whether in the city or on the highway. The smooth handling and responsive steering make every trip feel effortless, and the engine provides just the right amount of power for both everyday commutes and occasional spirited drives. In terms of comfort, the City offers a plush cabin with high-quality materials, and the seats are designed to support you during longer trips. The interior design is modern and minimalist, focusing on driver convenience with an intuitive infotainment system. It’s also surprisingly spacious for a sedan, providing ample legroom for rear passengers. That said, if you’re looking for a bit more power and sporty dynamics, the Skoda Octavia is worth considering as a competitor. While the City excels in fuel efficiency and comfort, the Octavia offers a more aggressive performance with its turbocharged engines and sharper driving dynamics. Overall, the Honda City strikes a fine balance between style, comfort, and fuel efficiency, making it a reliable and practical choice for both city driving and long journeys. It’s a vehicle I’m very satisfied with, and I would recommend it to anyone seeking a balance between performance and comfort. This version gives a realistic view, mentioning the Skoda Octavia as a competitor and highlighting the City’s strengths in comfort and reliability while balancing it with a different perspective.By NIKHIL ULPosted on: Oct 01, 2024 01:01 PM00
