    Have driven my city for more than 100k kms in less than 4 years, the only complain I have is the ground clearance but apart from that, its a gem of a car, reliable and safe!

    Drivability, brakes, suspension and performance with a good seating comfort is what a car must have. City fulfills it along with more features in the base variant. CITY A WISE CHOICE

    I owned both. Verna chalane me maza aata hai. Infotainment of Verna is much better. City ki stability achhi hai. Comfort in city is next level.Verna comes with nil cabin noise unlike City

  • @samdaniel5740
    @samdaniel5740 ปีที่แล้ว +49

    City outstanding 👏 verna is just ok, maybe better adas comparatively, but back seat comfort, especially for elderly people, excellent suspension, quick pick up works better on overtaking, sad part is its kinda of outdated screen and it's position, also wireless charging and cupholders what's the logic behind, noise filtering could have been better...I love city it's so comforting to drive much better for long drives...

    Honda city gives you the best ride experience for both, the driver and the passenger and the cabin that gives you a touch of luxury which makes it even better.

    City resale is higher than verna so i pick honda city

  • @ducatimultistradav4850
    @ducatimultistradav4850 ปีที่แล้ว +14

    Just get the 205 section tyres on the Honda City like we did, and boy.. The vehicle would just become FFFAAABBB to say the least.. The ride comfort significantly improves at both, low and high speeds.. you don't feel the suspension softness at all.. Moreover, the grip levels at corners and high speeds are very assuring now ❤

  • @PopEye2384
    @PopEye2384 ปีที่แล้ว +13

    Did a td between these two yesterday.... keeping aside all the parameters like build quality, reliability, resale etc which are debatable, the ride and handling of City beats Verna anyday... it is more responsive, supple, refined even on broken patches (driven carefully)... ac is better in City... rear seat comfort are handsdown best in SEGMENT... cabin feels more airy.... Now these are facts and are irrefutable....
    Indeed a big miss for the City which Verna exceeds by a mile are the following:
    1. Infotainment/ Headunit (Honda's unit is an embarrasement. But since mostly people will use either Carplay or AA, you can give it a miss.
    2. Sound system: City's speakers come no where near to Verna's. People buying city will have to upgrade the speakers for sure.
    3. Front ventiallated seats, something city buyers wont be able to instal aftermarket even if they wanted. A BIG miss.
    4. Tyre profile of City is unadequate. Verna's 205 profile tyres are way better.
    One problem that i felt for Verna's cabin is that the dual tone is of black and white, rather than beige as stated by many portals. So upkeep of these areas (seats included) will be major pain in the ass.

    Thanks for the comparison.. Honda city has been left back when it comes to comparison with new cars. Does a BMW model ever get old or any class of a Mercedes get old? City is a perfect car and shall remain the same. And honda knows it

      Verna is definitely polarising. Though it looks modern in some colors, it looks ugly in some colors.

  • @bugbuggy3866
    @bugbuggy3866 ปีที่แล้ว +32

    Verna is packed with features but city has better aesthetics and seating. Verna rear seat is very deep down (same is the case with virtus and maybe slavia too) but in city, the seating height is better. Sure Verna has a turbo variant which can give better power but no one (yes, NO ONE) comes even close to Honda's engine refinement. Be it car or bike, Honda is the king of refinement.
    While Verna has power, city is a hybrid. So I me find city better than verna.

    @hardiksaini7861 ปีที่แล้ว +11

    I don't understand one thing why people are saying "City feels old"?. Definitely it would get old with passing years. When it was launched there were no Slavia, Virtus and verna just got a new generation!!. If anyone say that Ciaz is old it is literally old. It doesn't make sense when City was the first to receive a generational update and will recieve another within 2 years. Although it still looks better than verna or creta

    For city driving I would recommend the Verna. So many important features and better looking screens and touch points, also Hyundai service centers are more affordable and widely available

  • @sankaranarayananh7957
    @sankaranarayananh7957 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    The Korean carmakers now just make that massive screen from the speedo console to the center console which practically blinds the person driving it. I hope that screen is split in the future releases of the car.

    I personally drive a 4th Gen Honda City Automatic since 2015 and it has been a superb experience. My advice for Honda City owners is to make sure you service the car regularly, most important is regular oil change and oil filter change with each oil change, it will keep the engine clean and trouble free. Honda engines are known to last more than 4 lakh Kms with regular maintenance. The Oil I use is the Shell Helix Ultra 5W-40 and the car seems super smooth ever since the oil change. Also I have installed Continental tyres which have made a good difference to the ride and grip.

  • @Eltonoconnor
    @Eltonoconnor ปีที่แล้ว +4

    Though my choice would be neither of the cars. Hands down, it feels like the Verna is a better option despite it not having the best CvT. It’s a new plush cabin, the ride isn’t too soft like that of the city. The city might edge on base variant features, but then honestly, we are tired of the same car just being refreshed year after year. The cabin feels outdated. It needs a new life. Not just refreshes.

    Any Honda car has these advantages over any other mass brand: easy and comfortable drive, quick, responsive and longevity, performance, visibility, and handling. The list will go on....
    Why should Honda be avoided: poor insulation, poor features, expensive, tire noise, rattling sound...poor marketing, not many models at dealership and the list goes on...

    I have rode both of these car Honda City is better. It has all the features you need and performance is much much better.

  • @teepraveen

    Verna build quality is progressively deteriorating in all their successive model , I had a Verna VGT which I used for 15 years and 190000kms with no issues except steering box replacement and one time clutch overhaul. Now I use 2018 Verna petrol ..never happy about it ..suspension is bad, even engine is far inferior than VGT ..As for City what I heard is it is susceptible to corrosion in coastal areas due to salinity..
