A smooth and eco-friendly sedan with advanced features

I recently got a chance to test drive the Honda City Hybrid eHEV 2023 and I was very impressed by its performance and features. Here are some of the points that I would like to share about my driving experience, firstly Driving experience, The car was very easy to drive and handle. The hybrid engine was powerful and responsive, delivering a smooth acceleration and gear transition. The fuel economy was excellent, as I got around 25 km/l on average in city traffic. The car also had low emissions, which made me feel good about contributing to the environment. The Honda sensing technology provided a safer driving experience, as it alerted me of any potential hazards or collisions on the road. The car also had a sport mode that enhanced the performance and thrill of driving. Secondly, Details about looks, and performance, The car looked stylish and elegant, with a sleek design and LED headlights. The interior was spacious and comfortable, with leather seats and ample legroom. The boot space was sufficient for my luggage needs. The car had a 7-inch touchscreen infotainment system that supported Android Auto and Apple CarPlay, along with a premium sound system. The car also had a sunroof, wireless charging, rear AC vents, ambient lighting, keyless entry, push-button start, paddle shifters, cruise control etc. Thirdly Pros, Powerful hybrid engine, excellent fuel economy, low emissions, spacious cabin, stylish exterior, and advanced safety features. Finally Cons, the High prices compared to other hybrid cars, limited colour options, and no diesel variant. Overall considering everything I will rate it 4 out of 5.

Delivered a defective car

<p><strong>Exterior</strong></p> <p>&nbsp;Well styled, lines flow very well</p> <p><strong>Interior (Features, Space &amp; Comfort)</strong></p> <p>&nbsp;compact but comfortable. Leg room at the rear limited, but the seats are well designed</p> <p><strong>Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox</strong></p> <p>&nbsp;Slight lag, Picks up better after mid revs. Not the best acceleration.</p> <p><strong>Ride Quality &amp; Handling</strong></p> <p>&nbsp;Handles well, quite smooth. Not as much grip as an Audi for example</p> <p><strong>Final Words The car was delivered scratched up to me on the inside and outside. Have not received a proper response from the dealer Autohangar in Mumbai. Have been forced to file a lawsuit and get a refund. They have spent over 20 days going back and forth pleading that I keep the car in the present state. They went so far as to say that scratches are common in new cars and asked me to come to teh showroom to see more scratches!<br/></strong></p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p><strong>Areas of improvement</strong>&nbsp;&nbsp;</p> <p>&nbsp;Need better quality control and sales channel. Will never go for this brand in such a scenario. Terrible buying experience. The brand has no value it seems for the dealers.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p>Looks goodNightmare dealing with the company
