I am a loyal Honda customer and have driven an Accord in the Gulf and currently own a Honda City in India. I would now like to replace my car with an automatic. I am considering the Volkswagen Virtus, Hyundai Verna, and the Honda City e-HEV. Please advise.
The Honda City e-HEV is the best option for you. It is a spacious, comfortable, and feature-loaded sedan that is also very efficient. The 1.5-litre petrol engine is smooth and refined, and the electric motor adds a nice dose of performance, especially in the city.
The downsides are that the boot space is a bit small, and at Rs 19.48 lakh (ex-showroom), it is pricey. But since you love the Honda brand, the City e-HEV represents the best option out of the contenders you've mentioned.

Hi, we are a family of three adults and one teenager. Over the past 10 years, we have owned a Honda Brio S MT, a Honda City V MT, and a Maruti Celerio AMT. The biggest advantage has been very low maintenance and minimal to no electrical or mechanical issues. We are now planning to buy a new automatic transmission car (non-AMT, as we want to avoid shift jerks). Any body type is acceptable. We plan to make the purchase in the next 6 to 12 months, with a budget of up to ₹17 lakh. Our main requirements are good city mileage, good safety, and decent performance.
Since you have been happy with the Hondas in your family, why not consider the 5th-generation Honda City, currently on sale? It features a very flexible and strong 1.5-litre engine mated to a CVT automatic transmission, which is both jerk-free and smooth. Also, it will give you the same trouble-free experience you have enjoyed with your current Hondas.
If you are looking for a change, you could consider the 1.0 AT variants of the Skoda Slavia or Volkswagen Virtus, both of which have a smooth torque converter auto transmission, which is much smoother than the AMTs you want to avoid.

My father bought a Honda City 1.5 in 1999, and he was fond of all types of cars. He also owned a Standard double-door and even suggested the Tatkal concept to Maruti. I am still using the Honda City that my father bought in 1999, and to this day, there is no match for that generation of the Honda City. Although I own other cars as well, I still drive this amazing Honda City to my office every day.
It is great to hear that you are still enjoying your 1999 Honda City. It was a game-changer in its time and remains a very enjoyable car to drive.
If you are looking for a new sedan, we would suggest waiting, as options like the Hyundai Verna, Honda City, Skoda Slavia, and Volkswagen Virtus are due for updates. If you want to buy something right now that is great to drive and looks good too, the Volkswagen Virtus GT with the 1.5 litre TSI engine is worth considering.

I am a senior citizen above 70 years of age and am looking to change my car. After driving sedans for more than 20 years, I am finding it difficult to choose a new one, as the market is full of SUVs. I do not like high cars, as they feel like mini trucks to me. My monthly city driving is between 500 and 1,000km, with no highway usage. My budget is ₹16 to 18 lakh. Please advise.
If you are not keen on an SUV and want to buy a sedan, we would suggest waiting. All four sedans currently on sale, the Honda City, Hyundai Verna, Volkswagen Virtus and Skoda Slavia, are due for updates soon.
If you cannot wait and considering you already own a 2012 Verna, the current Verna is a sensible choice. It is a well rounded product with a smooth petrol engine, good space, a comfortable ride and premium interiors. The Hyundai Verna also offers strong value for money, and within your budget, you can get the top SX(O) petrol CVT, which comes loaded with premium features.
If you want a sedan that is slightly taller and easier to get in and out of, the Volkswagen Virtus and Skoda Slavia make sense. Their higher ground clearance makes them more practical for Indian road conditions, and the higher seating position improves ease of access.
However, if you are open to the idea of an SUV and want a safe, proven option, you can consider the Hyundai Creta. It is a strong all rounder with a smooth and refined 1.5 litre petrol engine, comfortable ride quality and a spacious, practical cabin.

Asked by: Aishwaryaon Dec 17, 2025
Hi, I’m confused between the Honda Elevate and the Honda City. My basic requirements are safety, comfort and reliability, especially on highways. I have heard that the Elevate has high NVH levels, while the City’s ground clearance and narrow tyres could be problematic. I don’t plan to do any off-roading but want to drive comfortably on ghats and long distances. I am very confused and would appreciate any advice.
Yes, NVH levels in the Honda Elevate are quite high, and thus, if it's only the ghats and long drives that you are considering, the Honda City will do just fine.
Moreover, the City will be more fuel efficient than the Elevate, even more so if you get the hybrid version, thus you will save on fuel bills during your long-distance travels. The only downside of the City is that its ground clearance is low, which can be a problem on bad roads.
However, if you are not going to go off-roading and the roads in your area are generally in good condition, this should not be a deal-breaker.

I am considering selling my existing car, which has run 67,000 km and is already 12.5 years old. The car is in good condition, and my monthly running is not more than 100 km. Does it make sense to sell it, considering the brand?
If the Honda City is in good condition and you are happy with it, there is no need to sell it. The car is already 12.5 years old and has run 67,000 km, so it is unlikely to fetch you a good price.
If you are looking to sell it, you can consider the brand value, but it is unlikely to make a big difference to the price you get.

Asked by: Srinivas Kon Dec 15, 2025
I bought a Honda City ZX CVT (5th generation) in July 2025. At low RPMs and during stop-and-go traffic, the engine and acceleration noise are quite audible and unpleasant, and the NVH levels feel poor. What can I do to reduce this?
Most CVTs suffer from what is called a ‘rubber-band’ effect, where the engine revs rise higher than the speed, which makes the engine sound like it's straining. Honda’s CVT automatic transmission in the City is a belt-driven system and is known to be a bit noisy under hard acceleration, partly because the noise insulation in the Honda City isn’t very good.
To be honest, there is not much you can do except drive with a light foot and don’t floor the accelerator to keep the revs down.

I have a 2018 Maruti Ciaz, and I wish to upgrade. What are my options under ₹15 lakh? My main criteria are rear-seat legroom like my Ciaz and a mileage of at least 10kmpl in city driving. I also want decent power similar to the Ciaz and an automatic transmission.
You should consider the Honda City. This sedan has a spacious and comfy back seat along with a responsive 121hp, 1.5-litre naturally-aspirated petrol engine. In our real-world fuel efficiency tests, the City petrol MT returned 11.5kpl in the city and 17.7kpl out on the highway, while the petrol-CVT auto managed 12kpl in the city and 16.4kpl on the highway.
Honda City prices in Mumbai start at Rs 11.95 lakh for the SV petrol-MT variant and go up till Rs 16.07 lakh for the ZX petrol-CVT variant (ex-showroom).

Asked by: Shanon Dec 7, 2025
I wish to upgrade the tyres on my Honda City ZX CVT fourth generation. I am confused because many experts suggest installing one grade higher size for better comfort and ride control than the stock 185/55 R16 tyres. What proper size would you suggest?
You can upsize the tyres to the 195/55-R-16, subject to body clearance for the Honda City. This size is available from Yokohama Earth 1, Goodyear Assurance, or Michelin Primacy 4ST. The 195s would give you better ride comfort and improved road holding.

I am planning to sell my Hyundai i20 and am confused between the Lexus ES and the Honda City Hybrid. Please advise which one I should buy.
There is a huge difference between the Honda City Hybrid and the Lexus ES 300h. Though both are hybrids, the City is a mainstream mid-size sedan, and the Lexus ES is a luxury car.
The Lexus is in a different league compared to the Honda car and costs around three times more than the City hybrid. So, if you can afford the Lexus, go ahead and buy it. It will offer you a far more luxurious experience and, thanks to its relatively low cost of ownership, is remarkably light on the pocket for a Rs 70 lakh-plus luxury car.
