Reliable predictable and consistent performance

I drove this car to Badrinath , Really enjoy the driving it's movability and engine is really very smooth Very good car If you drive between 60 to 70 km/h We get average 20++ AC is very effective

Its truly amazing to get such a comfy car with all features at this price. WOW !

I got the new lancer 1.5 petrol in Apr'06.ITS A WOW CAR!!!! I wanted to go for the new Honda City ZX, but my friend who already has it recommended me this Lancer coz his Honda City he says is BAD, 10-11 kms avg, poor braking , expensive spares. but my lancer is giving me better than that anyday. it gives me 11.5-12 in city and 15+ kms/ per ltr on Highway. The new beige interiors are amazing, and all the little refinements have made the car the best in its class. Mitsubishi has proven that Lancer is still the king and is here to stay and conquer. BEST BUY Thanks Sachin.Believe me it gives 11.5-12 kms

Honda City Long Term Report: Introduction

By Jay Shah11 May 2024

First launched in 2020, followed by a refresh in 2023 with sharper styling, additional features, and an advanced driver-assistance system (ADAS) suite, the Honda City has landed a spot in our long-term fleet. Sedans are a rare breed here, so this widely popular choice piqued our interest, especially in the new ‘Obsidian Blue’ paint.

2023 Honda City Petrol AT First Drive Review

By Ninad Ambre09 Mar 2023

This is the latest iteration of the Honda City, a successful three-box sedan still going strong after more than two decades. It's still this fifth-generation avatar introduced in 2020 but gets some more updates. The most important ones are an RDE-compliant engine and advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS). Look closely, and you'll see the elegant exterior design exudes a sportier character thanks to the revised bumpers. These are tastefully done and look like extensions with a carbon fibre look. The grille mesh pattern is revised and there's a new addition of this Obsidian Blue Pearl exterior colour that looks fantastic.
