Planning To Buy A Used Honda City? Pros And Cons Here

The Honda City has always set new benchmarks in the compact sedan segment, and the fifth-generation model that was introduced last year is no different. The car continues with the 1.5-litre i-VTEC four-cylinder petrol engine, and 1.5-litre i-DTEC four-cylinder diesel motor mated to a six-speed manual gearbox and an optional CVT unit for the petrol version, while the diesel is offered just with the manual gearbox as standard. Though the Honda City is still a new model, we have started seeing it in the used car market as well. If you're planning to buy a used Honda City, here are few pros and cons.

Pros

1. The new-gen Honda City has grown in dimensions, it is now over 100 mm longer and 53 mm wider than the previous model. However, the height has been lowered by a good 28 mm, making it a sleek looking sedan.
   

   The Honda City has a neat and uncluttered cabin layout.

2. The new City comes with a spacious cabin sporting a dual-tone beige and black paint scheme. It gets a large sunroof, a new multi-functional steering wheel, new air-con vents, and a larger 8-inch touchscreen infotainment system with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto compatibility.
3. The new-gen Honda City is a well-rounded package offered with an extensive list of features right from the base variant. It gets several segment-first features like full LED headlamps, HD full-colour TFT instrument cluster, G-Meter, Digital Speed and Cruise Control Display, Eco-assist and Eco mode indicators, an eight-speaker sound system and Alexa integrated connectivity with voice assist.

Cons

1. There's no diesel automatic option on the new generation Honda City which in our opinion is a big miss since the rivals do offer.
   

   The Honda City continues to be effortless for intra-city drives or highway cruising.

2. Though the new-gen Honda City is equipped with several segment-first features, the sedan misses out on features like ventilated seats. Also, there's no provision to adjust the headrest for the rear seats.
3. The Honda City generally attracts a high resale value and the latest gen model being comparatively newer, will likely have even higher resale price.
