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.

Poor distribution of Features across variants

Features are not well distributed across the variants... Between GX and VX there is 5 lakhs rupees difference.. Since G- SLF is only for fleet operators then one more variant in non hybrid could have been better with 1. SIX airbags, 2. Sunroof, 3. Touch screen and better music system 4. 360 camera.. 5. NO DRL To get a 6 airbags, Sunroof and other comfort features one has to go until ZX variant which is the downside. One more non-hybrid variant in that 5 lakhs gap could have given real competition to XUV, HECTOR, SAFARI etc.. So definitely it looks like XUV700 is still a better VFM and car for every budget...
