Tata Curvv vs Honda City 4th Generation

We have driven the Diesel-DCT powertrain of the new Tata Curvv ICE.

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.

There was a time when the City was Honda’s most affordable offering in India. Today, this sedan remains to be Honda’s most expensive offering. Things have changed considerably over its existence for so many years. Now its popular petrol model continues to be offered along with the availability of an oil-burner version as well. We have tested both these models and extracted data from our Vbox GPS data logger for these speed and time measurements. Here's an analysis of the acceleration data to give you a quick and clear idea of the performance of both these models.
