Honda City remains the benchmark against which any other c-segment car is compared. The V-Tech grunts put a smile every time I take it for a ride. Planing to buy one this month.

New Verna ko dekhne k baad iska look aur v payara lag rha h!!

[xantaclaws]

The color gives so much JDM vibes ... Looks like a clean modded version of city.

[arnov]

Will wait for Hondas Mid Size SUV, which will have the same engine specifications

For petrol cars Auto hold is a must feature. Sedans like slavia and virtus went for 179 mm ground clearance. City should have gone for at least 170-175 mm clearance. Also city is no more city size it has became a highway now 😅. 4gen was smaller car and was easy to drive on city roads. 5 gen is a bit wide and good for highway because of it's suspension.

Improvements needed:
*) Insulation could have been better, still bad in the segment

*) zx headlight through hasn't improved, night mare to drive in dark roads with bad reflections.

*) Rear seat Blower doesn't cool the passenger well.

Must feature :(premium feel)
*)driver electric seat adjustment
*) sun blind for rear side windows

These are enf to be still king in the segment.

More than Honda City facelift, I am happy to see Rohit's face and his hosting after a loooong break.

[mayankforever]

Loved it when u said that u would choose this engine to drive enjoyably over the others ❤

[TheVenuprasad]

Would have been a perfect car if they had added ventilated seats...

[amithrajbhattia]

Mr Rohit, yesterday only I told you that I have heard you're voice, you are the best and 💯% Authentical shared you're experiencing the New Honda City.

[PranavShroti]

Ventilated seats given a miss, why Honda why… ? Production quality of videos has gone up… thanks Rohit… 👍

[vishalbhandari]

Good to see you back Rohit, this seems to be half hearted efforts from Honda

[sajivkumar]

As usual excellent piece of reviews. I don’t mean to sound patronising but I think the presenter is the most neautral and natural on tv, I have seen in Indian media. Great job guys, u and Bert should try comparison.

[nirmalkejriwal]

I am wondering why the Smart Cruise Control with Stop & Go (ADAS feature) is missing from new Verna IVT version while the DCT version has it.

Can you shed any light on this please? I thought it would just be a software setting.

[amvj]

I wish I have the pronunciation and presentation skills like Rohit. 😊
Great review sir.

[manoharacharya]

A better vedio just ever across till date and Thanking you Sir

[saisagartata]

ADAS and Honda sense available in Non Hybrid as well? Pls correct it?

[welsunsig]

The fact is ds people's needs are limitless are never satisfied with what's actually provided and wanted more and more 💀

[DrDre-sykv]

Currently, the City doesn't look enough to not wait for upcoming Verna

[anuragkumar-fmhc]

The Biggest LETDOWN are its tyres..185🤦🤦....y Honda y....even the Hatchbacks get atleast 195🤦🤦
