Pros & Cons Comparison

Things We Like in Honda City

Honda Sensing Level 2 ADAS is standard from the mid-spec V variant
6 airbags are standard across all variants

Things We Like in Honda Elevate

A refreshingly simple and solidly built car that will outlive its owners.
Interior space is among the best for all occupants.

Things We Don't Like in Honda City

Non-hybrid variants get rear drum brakes, not discs
Petrol engine produces 121 PS compared to Verna's turbo making 160 PS

Things We Don't Like in Honda Elevate

Screen savvy younger buyers will have trouble accepting Hondas age old "less is more" rule!
That i-VTEC engine will feel a bit lethargic to anyone who has driven a 1.0-litre turbo-petrol in Korean or German offerings
