Honda City Hybrid vs Honda City Diesel vs VW Virtus DSG: Drive To Death!
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 14 มิ.ย. 2024
- The Honda City Hybrid makes a big leap for hybrid cars in the Indian market. Aside from offering a similar space and practicality package as the regular Honda City, it gets a powertrain that can deliver truly phenomenal fuel-efficiency. However, we had to see just how much the City Hybrid could deliver on a full tank, compared to other efficiency championing technologies - diesel and cylinder-deactivation.
The Honda City diesel represents the good old-fashioned way of maximizing mileage while the Volkwagen Virtus DSG represents a way to get the best of efficiency as well as performance and excitement. To see how they stack up against each other in the real world, Alan, Arun and Tushar took these cars on a two-day long road-trip, driving through unforgiving city traffic, open highways and interstate roads clogged with fluctuating traffic. This is the definitive tank range test, including every possible kind of driving, to answer just one question - who survives the longest in the drive to death?

![4BANG - NOT LIKE US (REMIX) [Official Music Video]](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/HO22cYkha1s/mqdefault.jpg)
Fun fact: The Honda City diesel goes limp mode after a range 0km restart and won’t rev past ~1,000rpm
EDIT: Fuel-efficiency data as per Zigwheels' standardized real-world test (city/highway):
Honda City Diesel: 15.32kmpl/21kmpl
Honda City Hybrid: 20.15kmpl/23.38kmpl
VW Virtus DSG: 12.12.kmpl/19kmpl
As Alan stated in the video, the hybrid delivers its best highway efficiency with consistent/steady drive conditions but is sensitive to fluctuating traffic wherein EV mode can't engage as often/easily. The constant highway filtering that we had to do on NH8 is what ate into the City Hybrid's efficiency.
Lol 😂
Might be to save fuel pump and the injector. Diesel cars does not like driving with low fuels.
@@dhanarajp3397 Righto!
What are the tank sizes of these cars? And how many litres of fuel was filled to the brim, if we talk about the actual FE numbers?
I've still managed to do a 65-70 kph on the sealink in this mode
Factor in the price differential between petrol and diesel and the diesel makes all the more sense. Also point to note, the Virtus has 5 extra litres of fuel tank capacity.
Factor in the price difference of 4+ lakhs while buying the car too... Diesel City costs almost 4+ lakhs less than the Diesel eHev
It's not just the Diesel factor
But also the manual transmission which helped to max the range in our own hands
Cruise control will always give more range than any human
Just a thought.... Imagine a diesel hybrid.
will be too expensive and complicated
Ciaz once had that. Mild hybrid though
Diesel engine are not that good at turning on and off
Won't happen
Coming soon in fortuner next year hybrid diesel hybrid
I have a City eHev.
My driving style has changed because of it.. especially the 250 NM torque it gives.
Used to drive sedately and now have lots more fun.
Yes it isn't as efficient as a diesel at highway cruising, never will be. Most of its efficiency comes from them braking. And if there's no braking, there's no energy recovered, it's only as good as any another efficient petrol.
What's amazing is you can drive it with a heavy foot, having loads of fun and still get 17-18 on the highway.
And in the city, it's just brilliant. Easily does 18-22 kmpl in very heavy traffic.
Fun fact, in the recent Bangalore rains, i got stuck in traffic taking 3 hours to travel 6 kms. Reset the trip meter to see what it says after about a km of this. So it does 24 kmpl over a 5 km distance that took nearly 3 hours, and the AC was on full time.
Because the engine was off most of the time coming on just once in a while to top up juice lost by running the AC.
It did 34.5 kmpl at 60 kmph
@@srinitaaigaura it will but driving at 60kmph 1000 kms is not what normal driving looks like
@@RaghunathSIyengar But this is ok within or just around city limits.
So great ownership review in your words awaits for sedan car
@@RaghunathSIyengarI don't think going beyond 80 is anything being cool drive in a limit drive safe family frst u get only one life
This is exactly the kind of vehicle review people wanted to see. Keeping day to day life into perspective.
You guys earned my respect ❤️
I'd still have the Virtus for the sheer driving excitement that car gives you.
Sheer driving excitement?
What are talking bro.. 😅
Diesel fan for life... This video brought a huge smile on my face ☺
Cry out loud you gonaa miss them soon
@@ishanbarai4334 already do every time I fill my petrol powered car 😁
@@KT_TB350nigga you got no diesel ?
@@ishanbarai4334Cry out loud, EV's won't be the future, Hybrids and Hydrogen will be the future.
I truly want Indian car manufacturers to bring hybrid down to 7-8 lakh rupee price range. It'll be far better than pushing gimmicky features like auto headlamps, auto wipers, push start stop, etc.
Wow! I didn’t expect this!! Do more stuff like this guys, loved it
This is such a delightful comparison , You guys are amazing , Thank you !!!
Awesome video. What a comparison. Comparative results always are very informative.
Thanks ZigWheels team.
By far the best video on Zigwheels i would say.
It was an absolute bliss to watch this video as a Diesel Head ❤️😍
Pretty Straight Forward tech!
Thanks a lot Zigwheels team !
Well made and thought out video, the topic itself makes a lot of sense and ofcourse the diesel too. You are paying 4-5 lacs extra for a hybrid city and also compromising on boot space.!! Thanks guys, great video!! 🤘😊
Loved this Top Gear style comparo… with Tushar sounding like Jeremy with that game plan. More of these please!! ❤️
Now imagine how a *diesel-hybrid* would spare 💥
Can't make diesel hybrid because they are not able to start and shut so frequently
Actually it is possible Honda had Diesel Hybrid but closed due to lack of demand.
@@maxwelldmello390 what kind of clown you are. What is this then?
th-cam.com/video/I1yUON4zaU8/w-d-xo.html
Toyota coming up with diesel hybrid innova
but diesels cant maintain efficiency if they are frequently shut and on, diesel works great after 100 km mark and runs smooth as butter
Few things missed and would have added a great value to the video.
1. Refueled and manual calculation would have defined the correct mileage.
2. Are all the vehicle tank capacities the same? If not, then point 1 would have come in handy.
Agreed with point 1, but point 2 won't make sense buddy because all 3 cars have different fuel types. To say, City's capacity is 40L and Virtus' capacity is 45L, but it is obvious that Diesel is definitely more efficient than the Petrol (in this case it's a Turbo Petrol which eats fuel like anything) and the EHEV with it's hybrid technology is also really efficient. So considering the fuel tank capacity won't make much sense
@@abhinavk3505 Sounds like a fair point.!
Agreed. Considering all the variables, a final ₹ per kilometre calculation would have helped.
Also, mention the prices of fuels used, so one can make their own calculations in the future as the prices fluctuate.
You guys are killing it.
Something NEW in the market about reviewing cars.
My best wishes.😊
I really enjoyed every second of this video! Amazing work guys!
This was a needed video at this time, when the fuel prices are going up! Thanks!
What an amazing real world test! Makes perfect sense!
Would love to see the new hybrids being put to test against the last remaining frugal diesels!
amazing real world? they had to go till engine runs out of fuel, not stop when range says 0.
@@Eren-da-Jaeger Do you do that with ur car when checking efficiency? Just kidding. Honestly you shouldn't really run cars till they stutter and stop as you run the chance of damaging the fuel pump. You will also get air in your fuel lines and then will take a while for the cars to start-up again. Diesels have even more problems as they usually run higher pressure in their fuel lines.
Tushar is right. Diesel makes sense even today. Diesel Cars are the OG one beast one. No hybrid or turbo petrol can beat them in terms of torque and mileage. 😤💪🏻
Even more with diesel hybrids, Mercedes GLE 350de diesel hybrid gives jaw dropping 90 kmpl with 320 hp and 700 nm torque
Torque Monsters 💯
In this day and age, diesel is not practical for people who want to hold on to their cars for a long time. There could be leeway for petrol cars in some cities but there is no way for diesel cars.
Love the way u guys put content on cars!! Wishing u loads more success and followers!! Cheers guys !
Again guys you did an amazing job love to watch video like this and that too with indian tadka. Watching same test on top gear was fun but in reality with day to day cars is much more informative.
Great job!!!!
Its been a while That Ive been watching car review videos and this is the first time after a long time, a comparo has excited me that much. A lot of hard work and brilliant twist at the end made this one a hit!
Good one guys 👍👍 Very Informative and love to hear more especially on hybrid engines in coming days ✌️✌️crossed fingers and waiting to see the performance of Vitara and Hyrider performance 😊😊
Loved this video. Nice content. Really appreciate your work. Watched entire video without fast forward. Would like to watch same among all hybrids which are there in the market.
Love the turbo diesels...Am on my 3rd turbo diesel now. Started with the 1.3ddis Swift, the 1.5 renault and now the beastly 2.0 multijet 2 on the compass. Each of these engines are gems in their own right. Creamy power delivery , lots of torque , massive cruise ability.
Watched the video fully without skipping! Now, that's the quality content. Keep it up Zigwheels!
Bhai aag laga di yaar👍 This is called Quality content👌 I give full marks to you guys 👌be it your presentation, effort, analysis, humor. All boxes checked 👍 Keep up such Excellent work 👌👌👌❤️
This was a perfect comparison, you guys did great.
Love love love it. Bring on more Hybrid tests
Loved this kind of comparo, thank you Zigwheels
Loved watching it
🤩🤩🤩
Great comparison with conventional fuel VS Hybrid system. Your route of travel is from Mumbai to Gujrat highway is great way of explanation testing fuel efficiency in real condition.
This is the video that made me coming back to this channel, i love this video
Very nice content, loved every second of it ❤️
This is what people really wanna see... Keep it Up guys❤️
The best test drive.. we really wanted such reviews of the cars . 👍
I think the hybrid makes way more sense for sedate drivers. They can extract a lot more with a light foot on highways if the electric mode runs more
That was a 'one of a kind ' test.... excellent work guys
Great video!
A final calculation of ₹ per kilometre would have really added a lot of value and objectivity to the conclusion
we definitely need more videos like this ! Great Video Guys
Really enjoyed the video, thank you guys. 👍👍
I own city hybrid. And I agree with the observation regarding highway drive. If you drive with a heavy right-foot then efficiency begins to drop. But at the same time - the hybrid makes up for that with its Adas features … my fav one being it’s adaptive cruise control.
Great comparo. How does the maintenance cost of the hybrid over a 70k to 100k mileage + the premium on the purchase cost stack up against the diesel?
Amazing comparo… Simply amazing video, very informative and it was fun watching… Thumbs up Zigwheels
Really appreciate guys .....it is a good learning experience
One of the best videos and something different ❤️🔥👏👏loved it
Very good experiment and super relevant to know where hybrid stands in present and diesel still rocks!! Miss them!
Great idea & comparison....
Really loved it...
I'm with Tushar, I love turbo diesels, economy and you can have fun on highways without the guilt. But I'm not happy about diesels being eliminated one by one from market. Even at Honda it's hard to get a Diesel Amaze and even city.
Plz save the diesel cars along with Tiger.
I love the video and would definitely recommend you to do more such videos. ❤️
You guys have my respect, what a amazing video and effort
Loved the video. Thank you. I am again happy to own a diesel Scross which gives me 26 kmpl on highways even after 52000 kms on the odo. A properly maintained diesel is actually not as polluting as it is projected to be. It's almost 19/20 between a normal petrol and diesel when it comes to CO2 emissions and other pollutants. Sad that we are being forced to let go the beauty of an engine and settle for hybrids and EVs. So if I have to let go my Scross in the near future, I will go for the Virtus. 700+ kms on a semi-performance car is hugely commendable. Fun to drive and frugal at the same time, like you guys mentioned
I bought the Vw Virtus on 23rd july 2022, completed 1700 kms till 2nd august and reported a problem to service centre when i went in for swagat check up that the car is pulling to the left. They tried to solve the problem by exchanging front tyres, got back the car, problem was not solved, reported it back on 6th august. They confessed that the car is new and they don’t have any data for wheel alignment. I was called back on 11th august, i dropped my car and back to back 3 wheel alignments were done with trials, problem was not solved i tried showing the car 3rd party wheel alignment centres and they did not have the data for the car too, until now i had completed 3400 kms, now i had a indistrial vist to ahmedabad, mumbai, pune for which i travelled 2400 kms in my car and i face severe left shoulder pain in my trip for those 10 days, now i dropped my car again and 2 wheel alignments have been done again but the problem has not been solved as i went for the trial, service centre has opened up the disk of the car( which is a technical term of vw service centre to solve the issue via company ) service centre has acknowledged the issue now, but none of have the solution for this. Now as a part of doubt i went and took a test drive of both manual and automatic 1.0 demo cars and both of them were pulling to the left, which was shocking. As a part of doubt now i went to check skoda slavia and noticed that the car has same problem, till now i drove 4 cars and reported the same problem. See i have experience of around 2 lakh kms of driving in last 10 years in which i have driven 80kms on my VW Polo, so i have not faced an issue like this before. One suggestion came in as the road bankings are made on the left side so the car pulls on the left side but them someone suggest to drive the car wrong side on the same road and if car is pulling towards the divider, opposite to the banking, then the issue is serious, i did it. This is a serious issue and i have a tremendous shoulder pain. Writing this to big car channel, so that Vw should recognise this issue. Thank you🙏🏼
Hi friends, it is really interesting comparison.
Really enjoyed every discussion you people had on the way.
It was superb and looking forward such videos of comparison.
Thanks all of you….
An applauds for efforts of you guys...👏 Driving almost 900kms for a video is really impressive...😎 Thanks for informative content...😇
It was a Goibibo test enjoyed watching it keep on getting such contents with new up coming hybrids
Cost of ownership is also important. We are not sure how these battery pack replacement cost will be in hybrid cars , because it will definitely need replacement after 6-8 years and all money saved in mileage will be taken out one time from our pockets. Need some more insight on this.
Usually it's not the case. in USA, hybrids have run with original battery upwards of 2-3 lakh kms.
@@paulg9484 thats because they nominally dont rely on batteries much, the hybrid cars become highly problematic with timr
It's literally a tiny battery pack, smaller less than 1kwh, where Ola scooter has 4kwh battery.
This type of test has to be performed on CNG cars as well, it's a must to have this
Lovely lovely video guys enjoyed it. Keep it up. Waiting for more videos like this ahead.❤🎉
first time an indian motoring brand has done a good car video. keep it up!
Fantastics Champs !! Totally enjoyed
Great videos Guys... For a similar tank full to tank full done in city commute conditions, what would be the EHev advantage?
Great guys. Love from TN
Honda city have fuel tank capacity of 40 litres where as volkswagen virtus has 45 litres. So extra 5 litres would have definitely increased the range by 100 kms.
By mileage virtus showing 16 kmpl it would be 80 km in advantage of extra 5 litre
Excellent review keep going, you guys rocks
Was a joy to watch.. Although Iam Pro Hybrid, I did love to see the Manual Diesel keeping it together.
Hope u guys will do a video on how to increase the efficiency on the Hybrid along with similar real world testing.
Loved the content ...Please make more such videos.
We need more such sort of videos guys❤ loved it 🎉
continue this series.....excellent review really superb 👌🏻 👏 👍🏻
Superb idea to test mileage of cars. Great video 👍
That was an interesting show !!
Lovely video, everyone. Its been a while since Indian journos came up with such fun and relevant content which is unbiased. More please!
Great comparison between Diesel and Petrol hybrid. One question how do the maintenance compare? And the battery needs a replacement on the 8th year?
Great Video. would have loved to see the actual mileage after refueling. added bonus would have been the cost/km figure
Whatta review.... absolute amazing 👏🏼
Excellent content .. hats off to Zigwheels .. you guys are overtaking PD !!
Nice video...out of box thinking to do such a test with thse 3 cars. Pls do other hybrid comparisons once few more hybrids hit the roads.
Excellent. Though I personally don’t like diesel, but the honesty and proficiency this video was done is commendable. These are the True automobile experts. Thank you. Thinking of taking hyryder….
Huge Diesel fan.
Thanks for the info content.
Efforts appreciated!!!
Very very interesting watch this was. Didn't expect the City Diesel to top, anyways, loved watching all the ZW fans in one frame.
Good Work Guys..... Very thoughtful to make video on the above subject.... Was City Diesel was the winner because it was a manual variant... While the figures were very close of City Hybrid and City Diesel..... Keep it up guys.... Looking forward for more such videos...
Awesome video 🙏🏻
Would love to see such comparison between strong hybrid models from various companies.
Bro...Really impressed ❤️ Subscribed 👍
Such a great video!!
Nice comparison, i am looking for it. appreciated you zig wheel.
Innovative content! Nice 👌👌
Guys, you missed to mention one thing. Each car has different Tank sizes, I supposed VW has largest tank compared to Hondas.. It would be good if you have given that insight as well. But nice video.. Appreciate you guys on doing this.
This is most underrated video ,It's really very good informative video made by zigwheels good job here.
Good to see Tushar & Allen after a while. Keep rocking 🍻
:D
Absolutely amazing test and true words by Tushar!
Loved the content... Just wish you had added the Fuel Price too in the test.
.
Like how cheap/costlier is to run hybrid against diesel.
.
Its India guys, every detail about money matters!
I decided to buy creta manual diesel because I drive a lot but wanted to test other cars in the 18lakhs budget. I liked City diesel a lot until I test drive salvia. Slavia was a killer man. Keeping in mind, efficiency matter most for me. I had to choose the diesels so I gave up slavia and gave up city because of some cool features in Creta and being an SUV which makes more sense to for our great Indian roads. Creta manual diesel was an overall package. I recently drove a 400 kms highway trip with an average of 23.6kmpl.
CRETA is not a SUV, it is a raised FWD enlarged Santro, can be called Crossover at best.
@@naughtyUphillboy : interesting 🤣. It serves the purpose anyway very much. I have a beefed up santro and it works for me and for many others.
@@rahulbasker8593 Good for you , only if Hyundai can manager 4 star crash teat, I will not mind any vehicle.
Loved the comparison
Loved the video

Nice one guys....bravo really great info👍🏻
This is easily one of the most epic comparison of all time. Kudos to zigwheels team for putting out such great content. Take a bow you guys 🙌
Thanks mate!
Diesel rocks all time! Please pass this video till it reaches Nitin Gadkari. Diesel is the future, I travel for 1000kms in a single stretch non stop, no electric car has that range and petrol is literally joke in terms of power and torque and mileage (combined).
BS 6 Diesel engines have the same emission as Petrol engines, so that's the best step.
Buy Diesel cars, save fuel, for 100km travelled Diesel cars consume around 5 liters whereas Petrol cars consume around 7+ liters.
People wondering about the maintenance cost, please note its the same and the sales people hype that to sell more Petrol cars because profit margin on Petrol cars for a company is maximum due to low manufacturing cost of Petrol engine.
It would have been great if you filled up tank in the end and posted the real mileage figures. Exactly the power wrt to mileage the diesel is the best. In petrol/turbo petrol when we drive a little bit enthusiastically the mileage reduces a lot compared to turbo diesel/diesel. Also the diesel is 8-10rs cheaper on avg. In city traffic condition, driving diesel manual is bit easier than petrol manual. But sadly manufactures are phasing out diesel engines.
Manufacturers have to face out diesel because the government is against it
Govt is a huge issue in India. They MUST have the courage to tint diesel.
Ie for commercial vehicles. Diesels should be cheaper and for PVs diesel as pricey as petrols.
As of now all who buy petrols are fools. Cuz they r spending way more than sometimes the value of car after 1L kms.
I can't believe how bad our Gov is in controlling fuel and its prices.
@@1989rs500 our government is good at winning elections
@@hirakmohanray667
I d say our governments.. We cannot pin point 1 government, almost all are equally good n squeezing taxes and using our resources to build thier private empires
Diesel is being phased out world wide in cars due to pollution and to meet new standards, amount of engineering along with cost it takes to have emissions under control is making it tough.
