I'm really disappointed that you didn't consider the VW Vento. I drove the Verna and the Vento back to back and I'm pretty sure the Vento knocks the other three cars out of the park with it's driving dynamics, handling and the 1.5L TDI. The Vento is a driver's car. You always feel a unique connection when you're driving the Vento.
No drive a rapid/vento and check for yourself ,no others can match its driving dynamics ,handling and stablility around corners . The 1.5TDI is a gem engine and nothing can beat a DSG gear box
Abhilash Hari Nope. I have a Hyundai i20. I even drove the Elantra and I felt that the Vento is far better than any other car in the segment. I highly recommend you to borrow any of your friend's Vento for a day. You'll know exactly what I'm talking about.
Prabath Kiran did you just compare a 150bhp vehicle, premium sedan to a vento? 😂😂 everything's feels good when driving slow cause obviously you can't go that fast in a 105 bhp car... So you drove elantra and felt vento is far better than any other in the segment, first of all vento is not elantra's segment.. Secondly you used the name Elantra but are you complimenting that car, or you comparing it vento or what exactly is your point or you feeling pride that you drove a Elantra? 😂😂😂
Yaris is a fresh car..you did not compare the build quality of these cars. 7 airbags as standard, Toyota ticks the box for safety but given the fact that Toyota is known to build cars which last longer, Yaris comes in as a good package overall. Verna gives the plush experience but not the enthusiastic driving experience as you told. Honda City is the prefered car always because of the brand value and after sale support but honestly speaking, I would choose Toyota anyday.
Total anti climax, LOL. I agree with the lower end choice but Verna wins hands down when it comes to Top-end models and I don't understand how Moto-journalists are still stuck with old paradigm and don't have the courage to accept the changes on new Hyundai vehicles when it comes to handling. Lets be honest, even an enthusiast who goes ahead and owns a City won't take on corners hard. And the refinement on Hyundai cars are simply no match to other companies, It's like other company cars are saved by the bell in a bout against any Hyundai cars!
Haha I agree with you! In real world driving it's unlikely people are going to corner hard! The Verna is a great car but do consider price and value. 7 airbags, 4 wheel disc brakes, 60:40 split seats all as standard under 9 lacs is great value and realistically the sales of the top end models account for less then 10% of model sales (in relation to Verna) all things considered with relation to price, quality, features and so on, while the Verna is a superb machine, the Yaris does edge it out.
Completely agree with the verdict. For people who prioritise safety, the G variant Yaris provides the most bang for the buck. It comes with an automatic transmission, while significantly undercuttiing the City and the Verna's models comparable on safety-equipment. It also has most of the features. Yes, it misses out on larger alloys or a sunroof which is located above the gear lever in our highly polluted cities (read: useless). But it gets the basics right. I just wish it had a better infotainment system. And let's be honest here. These cars would spend most of their time in the city in bumper-to-bumper traffic. So yes, the Yaris G Variant is the "sensible" choice.
Hello Glen, I think City is the smarter choice, considering its handling and driving capabilities. Yaaris is a bit less wide than the other two. Verna does not offers a nice rear seat space.
Used to love honda city but now loving toyota Yaris..💞.... Please compare the new Premium hatchback segment. And powerdrift i won't stop loving you ever 😻😂. #pdarmy
City is the best of the lot... With happy to rev engine(7000 rpm peak) and fun to drive in corners with excellent feel and feedback from steering, exceptional surround sound 8 speakers, and practicalality of Sedan.. (510L boot space) and premium interiors, with peace of mind interiors... City is unbeatable
Great comparison indeed. Really appreciate the effort. Please do similar kind of comparison on the compact-SUV segment, namely Brezza vs Ecosport vs Nexon. Will be waiting for one from powerdrift soon.
Honda is Honda. It ticks the best balance. When will Honda launch Civic? I can’t wait to see it on the roads. Amazing review Glen. I really enjoy your reviews. 😊 Powerdrift why don’t you compare something different which no one has done before. Give us something big and show the world that you are the best when it comes to Automotive content in India. Great job keep it up. 👍🏻
Yaaris's confused styling is a big "NO NO" Haven't seen a single one here in Bangalore yet. But this was not a Powerdrift kinda review, it was just another comparison Glen, we all love you coz you do things differently, remember that Sharmaji ka ladka comparison for compact SUVs..
Somewhat unlike powerdrift.. but I think I'm convinced that Toyota are more truthful with their variants and makes sense.. but tons of info shown in a real short time... Thumsup!!!!!!
My opinion, a petrol manual - Honda city, Petrol automatic - Toyota Yaris, Diesel Manuel- Hyundai Verna Diesel Automatic - Skoda Rapid / Volkswagen Vento If you just a C segment car for rarely use - Ciaz Petrol
I was in market to buy C segment car, Test driven City, Verna, Yaris and Rapid. I personally dont like Maruti Brand so skipped Ciaz completely. As I am 6ft2in guy and my family all members are tall so Verna rear seat so cramped I cancelled it, same as Rapid. Now left yaris and city. Problem with yaris was Bland looks(personal taste), the headroom was very low at back, biggest ugly thing was arm rest was so back that middle passenger cant move leg. Also it don't come with 16inch. Also no sunroof. Now comes Honda city. OMG the look in person so striking , rear back seat space and comfort. Sunroof was big enough for airy cabin. At time city only car which coming with BS6 petrol engine. Also the Digipad was version 2.0 so it was quick no lag and support Android Auto . Steering was so balanced not too light not to heavy, it support Tile and telescopic steering which is must for my long legs. Engine is so refined , suspension is little hard compared to yaris but it better on high speed. So finally I bought City VX Manual.
HOLY SHIT BOIS. This is a great comparison. I loved the last part of the video. This video was so intelligently done, I noticed when Glenn says "lounge" like seats, the camera pans out to make it look spacious, so intelligent! Can't wait for more from you guys.
Why not Vento TSI...DSG & TSI engine combination ..strong built quality..its metal body is 70% zinc coated which gives its strength & corrosion resistance..no one in India market does zinc coating above 20% as it adds to maf cost...great handling...better braking than others..quality interior...quality in every part..even the spare wheel & tool kit is done in proper way , not just a plastic pouch for toolkit..proper seat cushion for long drives..paint thickness is more than others for better corrosion protection ... its doing good in export market..highest selling in Mexico..people in other countries buy proper cars & we Indian run behind new features ...VW sells DSG Vento in lower version in Mexican market without infotenment ..hope Indian people start understanding what actually a CAR is
@@Nikk917 Toyota's diesel engine is rubbish. The petrol engine is also the worst. Honda is usually a diesel engine. Modern diesel engines are quiet and powerful monsters.
I have read the comments here. Seems like most of them really don't care or noticed about 7 airbags offered in Yaris across all variants. No wonder most of the car companies take Indian lives for granted by not putting all security features by default. Some of the comments are like they want to sleep with these cars in their bed and so bothered about their external looks.
Srini can you please elaborate more on why Yaris is a better choice than the both City & Verna? I want to buy a Sedan car for my parents & I want to make the right decision. I am getting confused by reading the comments here because most people are either praising Verna or City.
I am no expert but if I have to buy a new car, things I look for are safety and reliability. Currently car companies offer most of the security features in top end variants only. So we have to stretch our budget for those models but not for the Yaris. Also, Toyota already known for its reliability and good post sales services. If space is your priority then you have to check City as well. Test drives with these cars may give more inputs to make a better decision. Don't buy any car without test driving.
Damn, can you hear the voice of the door of honda city, sweet it was, it shows how best in class build quality Honda city has, I will buy city for sure
Toyota Yaris, becoz when the roads get bad, which in India they often do, thats where the Yaris wins.... Its a Slightly scaled down Corolla, ENOUGH SAID...😎
Steering wheel response, door hinge quality, gear shifts and overall interior space. Better in Honda City. Noise dampers, reduced tyre noise, better engine noise, better and cheaper service. Much better in Yaris.
Me, Anish George and family bought Verna after comparing it with other cars of the same segment. We bought it for the following reasons: It’s a very beautiful sedan Car with powerful engine. Nobody can resist its temptation. The cascade grille upfront gives the car a dynamic look. It’s modern and sporty in appearance. LED DRLs and projector lights give Verna a majestic look. It has a coupe-like design and i like that very much. The alloy wheels look like propellers and add to the sportiness of the overall design. Sitting inside the cabin of the new Verna is a pleasant experience for my family. The 7-inch display touchscreen with Apple CarPlay, Android Auto and Mirror Link and the usual options of FM, USB, Bluetooth and AUX-in connectivity gives us a new infotainment experience. Navigation runs through an SD Card and Hyundai will update the maps for you three times in three years without any extra cost. The rear legroom and head room are not spacious compared to city and Cias. So I reconsidered the idea of buying Verna. But I belong to a family 5.8 to 5.10 and there is enough space is available in Verna’s rear seat for my family. Not sure how many Indian families are 6ft high. Increasing the legroom is not at all a problem for a company like Hyundai. I think Hyundai has deliberately decreased the legroom in order to provide maximum comfort for the rear passengers. Otherwise they may sit at the top of the rear tyres. We have star dust colour and we bought it from Popular Hyundai, Adichira, Kottayam, Kerala. They are very friendly and we are really thankful for their hospitality. Wwe really enjoyed the day of car delivery. Verna looks amazing in that colour. First we have some reluctance in buying star dust colour. But it is amazing. I also like the smoothness of the engine. We also like the boot space. There is enough and more space in it. I test droved the city and Verna in the day time and also in the night. The cornering lamps, smooth gear shifting, blue illuminations etc. attracted me towards this beautiful car. It has ventilated seats and sunroof in the top model. But i bought the SX model. There are so many other features like cool glove box, sun glass holders, seating arrangements etc. One thing i noticed in Verna is its rear and front arm rest. It is a Premium Quality Car Arm Rest. It is aligned to the seats. The automatically opening trunk is another important feature. Hyundai has priced the Verna not only competitively but smartly. If you go through the features of same segment cars, you will surely feel like that. It has more features. If you test ride Verna, you'll surely select Verna. The marvellous features and the coupe like design will enchant you. In my opinion, the riding, handling, drive ability, comfort and power on Verna is by far superior to City and is also far more stylish than any other segment cars. The build quality of the body doors and bonnet were more solid on the Verna than other cars. Overall, the new Verna offers a ton of features inside the cabin, which offers a connected, comfortable and luxurious experience. I think it’s time to change the stereotype thoughts. New Verna is a totally new Generation car. The Sales chart of Verna also shows the trend. Proud to be an owner of Verna petrol.
Every enthusiasm will come down after the free services.Both city and vernal make your pocket empty .There comes the importance of yaris......very very very low maintenance ...Only 1700 rs for 10000 km service.....
Hope Honda and Hyundai complicate matters for us buyers by offering 6/7 Airbags across all variants. Till then, buy the Yaris J, run happily for 3,00,000kms, knowing that you are well cocooned with 7 Airbags and paid the least amount for doing so. At the end of 3,00,000 you can still find comfort in the fact that there is always a cabbie around whos willing to take it off your hands, slap on a CNG kit and drive it for a further 3,00,000kms.
NO NO NO PowerDrift.... i guess this is the only video in which I'm not agreeing with PD... i would say the Verna is the best among the 3 mostly because of the quality and the value it offers... its got the most powerful engine... the best infotainment system... best in class interiors... ventilated seats.. and a tonne of more features... yea i agree the rear legroom is a bit less... but that can't be a deal breaker for a person whose buying a C- segment car... overall a fantastic package.... and after all Hyundai peace of mind.
3 cars have their own strengths ....petrol engine... hands down city's ivtec is a winner any day..... diesel ,without a doubt any day is verna.... and yaris scores very well on safety feature.....
powerdrift is the channel to go to every single time to clear confusions be it for bike or even car 😍 you guys explain everything so well that nobody else can and clear the doubts and confusions then and there!!
Honda city any day. City had best build quality, reliable engine, quality interior, different drive modes like ECO, sport. 2nd is Toyota yaris with reliable engine, more segment first features like electric driver seat, ECO mode, rain sensing wipers, front parking sensors, 7 airbags, rear disk brakes, tyre pressure monitoring system, traction control, vehicle stability control, ESP, hill launch assist. Verna doesn't offer any of these features. You buy Verna only for looks 😂😂😂😂😂😂
Sorry I don't think yaris is the best among the three...... Verna better for enthusiast drivers.. City always for petrol heads... Yaris for little oldies...
Brilliant when reviewers give a proper choice, no indecisive answers. One may or may not agree with the choice. But I’ve come for the reviewers opinion & then decision on the matter. Brilliant stuff, my choice Honda City. Keep at it gentlemen!!
PowerDrift damn! I feel like royalty getting a reply from you guys. 🤣 You guys have amazing content. Videos shot are of top quality, dare I say art. I truly get a lot outta you videos. I mean I'm subscribed to many channels. But what I get here is an experience. I'm gonna stop now as I risk being categorized as a fanboy 😂😂. Peace Guys!! #respect
Yes ofcourse we would love to have more comparisons like this...!! very good doubt destroyer comparison video..good job PD..!!! I'm just loving and feeling proud to be a part of PD ARMY... Want to have more comparisons videos of both bikes and cars..!! Hoping that Ull get back soon with tough comparison videos..!!
jayraj vora yup.....vento lacks in features a lot.. No doubt vw group produces best build cars... But... Its not a key point for Indian buyers.. I'm not asking to buy tin cans of maruti... My pick will be Honda City CVT ZX over vento highline...
verna is the best everybody knows that except rear space, city is best, but Yaris ...!!!! definitely not a chance to compitate to verna and city but many reviews by youtubers promoting yaris, y the hell !!!
Harry S bro, toyota does things a different way than usual car brands. You may feel they are ripping of your pockets but the reliability they offer is something where no other brand can dream.
Stark Vds bro i feel years don't matter because most parts of every brands are common. Also i do agree that honda city is one of the best seller in this segment due to its reliability till date but as my family owns both honda and toyota, i can say that toyota service has built up an undestructuble reliability.
Honda is no doubt the drivers car here ,red lines like its no tomorrow .. But yes yaris is the car i will put my money on ! Cheap to maintain , reliable than its competition ,toyota after sales is best, is feature loaded and has a pretty youthful engine to have fun too (unlike verna ). Toyota has done it again ! Thanks glen. 💟
Wow what a comparo? Everyone gives monotonous stuff while u guys pointed out exactly what we need to know n what others miss to mention. Waiting for more such comparisons.
Have owned 3 editions of Honda City the engine refinement is top class in all 3 editions even after years of use and is very stable at high speed feels like 80kmph at 140 but the only problem I have faced with the overall built quality rusting in the engine bay and the doors get clanky after a few years even the paint quality diminishes after sales service is also not very good . I believe Hyundai gives the better bang for your buck
It will not last for 3laks km. Engine will dead after 2.5 lacs. City last for 3 lacs km, yaris last 5 lacs km. Next decade people will use. That's Toyota.
@aerodom dom right said. We should spend based on requirements. If don't want to keep car for longer periods then Hyundai or Marti or Skoda and vw is good. If looking for low maintenance then maruti good. If ur looking for comfort Toyota and Honda is good. If budget is less Hyundai and Maruti is good. For mileage maruti is best. For strong build quality Skoda and vw is best. Best on the requirements people can buy.
City petrol and Verna diesel are the best. You missed out on the high strength steel used in Verna making it a better in build quality and the ventilated seats. In automatic Honda cvt is good. Yaris looks outdated in terms of design. I feel in petrol it's the city and in diesel it's Verna which classify as the drivers car!
If we talk about petrol no one can beat Honda City in this segment, it's a time tested machine that promised the quality drive and very good fuel efficiency
Best comparison video ever.. Ohh yes, please continue this format on regular basis. And also do follow up video for the leftovers in same segment. Thank you
As far as this comparison goes, I would pick Honda City. It give a premium look on both outside & inside, the cabin is more practical, HLKS room (Head Leg Knee Shoulder) are more than adequate, even the materials used in the cabin from dashboard plastics to the leather seats are of decent (I would rather say good) quality. Verna has more modern & first in the class equipments no denying it. But if the choice of engine is diesel I may suggest one to try Verna. But if it is Petrol close your eyes & go for Honda City. Toyota Yaris... I don't know I have mixed feelings about that car. Be it the look or the material quality or the features on offer, nothing seems to please/satisfy the current generation customer. But like all Toyotas... Yaris also has a quality of growing on you on your day to day usage. But for me it's just like a Love it or Hate it model. Sorry Toyota... Better luck next time...
Glen, it was a great experience to see you at the PDArmy meetup in Mumbai recently, and even better watching your narration here. Really did justice to the segment! :)
Yaris looks not good.verna is trying to be a cheap elantra.hands down the city is the most respectable and classic car u should buy if u have 10 lakh thank you
Adventure Guruji well do consider for under 10 lacs you're getting 7 airbags, 60:40 split seats, 4 wheel disc brakes. The city is a super machine for sure but keeping price value in mind, it's a close edge for the Yaris for me :) but I do value your comment!
If it were upto me, the City would win this test hands down. It really is the most complete manual car of the lot. If it was a comparison of the automatics though, neither would make the cut. The vento TSi would win that test by a country mile.
The conclusion was lame.., basically explained all the features and equipments as the reason for making the cut as top 3 in the segment, then ridiculously compares bare bone models in the end and says Yaris as the smart choice. Lol Smarter choice would be to go for a fully equipped one segment lower car in that case. Top end Verna is a Lakh cheaper than other 3. Didn't mention that.
Wonderful one #powerdrift but.... it's the City!...well in this segment the numbers mislead us.... it's only the city.... let's conclude another way....which petrol car do you pick Glen Bhai?....😂😂 it'll be the City for sure!

Diesel Manuel- Hyundai Verna
Diesel Automatic - Skoda Rapid / Volkswagen Vento
If you just a C segment car for rarely use - Ciaz Petrol
We would also suggest you drive the Vento petrol automatic, Alen.
That engine-transmission combo is unheard of in the segment.
@@powerdriftofficial Thanks for your suggestion. Anyway do you think vento petrol automatic is better than yaris CVT?
I was in market to buy C segment car, Test driven City, Verna, Yaris and Rapid. I personally dont like Maruti Brand so skipped Ciaz completely. As I am 6ft2in guy and my family all members are tall so Verna rear seat so cramped I cancelled it, same as Rapid. Now left yaris and city.

with other cars of the same segment. We bought it for the following reasons:
It’s a very beautiful sedan Car with powerful engine. Nobody
can resist its temptation. The cascade grille upfront gives the car a dynamic
look. It’s modern and sporty in appearance. LED DRLs and projector lights give
Verna a majestic look. It has a coupe-like design and i like that very much.
The alloy wheels look like propellers and add to the sportiness of the overall
design. Sitting inside the cabin of the new Verna is a pleasant experience for
my family. The 7-inch display touchscreen with Apple CarPlay, Android Auto and
Mirror Link and the usual options of FM, USB, Bluetooth and AUX-in connectivity
gives us a new infotainment experience. Navigation runs through an SD Card and
Hyundai will update the maps for you three times in three years without any
extra cost.
The rear legroom and head room are not spacious compared to
city and Cias. So I reconsidered the idea of buying Verna. But I belong to a
family 5.8 to 5.10 and there is enough space is available in Verna’s rear seat
for my family. Not sure how many Indian families are 6ft high. Increasing the
legroom is not at all a problem for a company like Hyundai. I think Hyundai has
deliberately decreased the legroom in order to provide maximum comfort for the
rear passengers. Otherwise they may sit at the top of the rear tyres.
We have star dust colour and we bought it from Popular
Hyundai, Adichira, Kottayam, Kerala. They are very friendly and we are really
thankful for their hospitality. Wwe really enjoyed the day of car delivery.
Verna looks amazing in that colour. First we have some
reluctance in buying star dust colour. But it is amazing. I also like the
smoothness of the engine. We also like the boot space. There is enough and more
space in it. I test droved the city and Verna in the day time and also in the
night. The cornering lamps, smooth gear shifting, blue illuminations etc. attracted
me towards this beautiful car.
It has ventilated seats and sunroof in the top model. But i
bought the SX model.
There are so many other features like cool glove box, sun
glass holders, seating arrangements etc. One thing i noticed in Verna is its
rear and front arm rest. It is a Premium Quality Car Arm Rest. It is aligned to
the seats. The automatically opening trunk is another important feature.
Hyundai has priced the Verna not only competitively but
smartly. If you go through the features of same segment cars, you will surely
feel like that. It has more features. If you test ride Verna, you'll surely
select Verna. The marvellous features and the coupe like design will enchant
you.
In my opinion, the riding, handling, drive ability, comfort
and power on Verna is by far superior to City and is also far more stylish than
any other segment cars.
The build quality of the body doors and bonnet were more
solid on the Verna than other cars. Overall, the new Verna offers a ton of
features inside the cabin, which offers a connected, comfortable and luxurious
experience.
I think it’s time to change the stereotype thoughts. New
Verna is a totally new Generation car. The Sales chart of Verna also shows the
trend.
Proud to be an owner of Verna petrol.
Common man, most of your argument are outright childish, no offence. You seem to judge a book by only it's cover.
But city is made for legends 😍😍
Not felt any bodyroll or jittery breaking?
Anand sir how much does Honda for maintenance of city petrol , every time it goes for periodic maintenance
Every enthusiasm will come down after the free services.Both city and vernal make your pocket empty .There comes the importance of yaris......very very very low maintenance ...Only 1700 rs for 10000 km service.....
Hope Honda and Hyundai complicate matters for us buyers by offering 6/7 Airbags across all variants.
Till then, buy the Yaris J, run happily for 3,00,000kms, knowing that you are well cocooned with 7 Airbags and paid the least amount for doing so. At the end of 3,00,000 you can still find comfort in the fact that there is always a cabbie around whos willing to take it off your hands, slap on a CNG kit and drive it for a further 3,00,000kms.
NO NO NO PowerDrift.... i guess this is the only video in which I'm not agreeing with PD... i would say the Verna is the best among the 3 mostly because of the quality and the value it offers... its got the most powerful engine... the best infotainment system... best in class interiors... ventilated seats.. and a tonne of more features... yea i agree the rear legroom is a bit less... but that can't be a deal breaker for a person whose buying a C- segment car... overall a fantastic package.... and after all Hyundai peace of mind.
Prathamesh Rivonkar only engine no onroad performance handling dynamics and ride
I have seen these car review on autocar before,but with powerdrift it's a whole different thing more interesting,more fun,more practical!!
When i saw a Yaris on road, It was like running A huge balloon on that small wheels.
never loved the city, until i drove one. the engine is a gem.
3 cars have their own strengths ....petrol engine... hands down city's ivtec is a winner any day..... diesel ,without a doubt any day is verna.... and yaris scores very well on safety feature.....
Need even more comprehensive review which includes VW Vento, Rapid and Ciaz upcoming model with 1.5 updated engine option
Honda city is the best
Verna bcoz of power , features , safety and also a heck lot more and a solid build quality and obviously looks.
Yaris, 😱😱😱..... are you guys serious..... it is a big no for me .... I will choose either Verna Or City ....
Verna for its CRDi engine and City for its i-vtec .. while Yaris for its cheap and easy maintenance cost...
Yaris for comfort n safety😍
Reliability ❤
That's why you leave the conclusion to the viewers, cause no matter what conclusion you draw, you'll get called biased.
Overall better choice - hyundai verna🔥
Passenger comfort - honda city👍🏼
Don't buy - Toyota yaris 👎🏼
powerdrift is the channel to go to every single time to clear confusions be it for bike or even car 😍 you guys explain everything so well that nobody else can
and clear the doubts and confusions then and there!!
Honda city any day. City had best build quality, reliable engine, quality interior, different drive modes like ECO, sport. 2nd is Toyota yaris with reliable engine, more segment first features like electric driver seat, ECO mode, rain sensing wipers, front parking sensors, 7 airbags, rear disk brakes, tyre pressure monitoring system, traction control, vehicle stability control, ESP, hill launch assist. Verna doesn't offer any of these features. You buy Verna only for looks 😂😂😂😂😂😂
Yaaris is the latest in the lot but looks the oldest :p
Agree
Amiya C 🤔front somewhat looks like it has the supra DNA (in my opinion) 😅
But i agree, that thing looks ugly! 😂
Sorry
I don't think yaris is the best among the three......
Verna better for enthusiast drivers..
City always for petrol heads...
Yaris for little oldies...
Brilliant when reviewers give a proper choice, no indecisive answers. One may or may not agree with the choice. But I’ve come for the reviewers opinion & then decision on the matter. Brilliant stuff, my choice Honda City. Keep at it gentlemen!!
Thank you, Darren.
PowerDrift damn! I feel like royalty getting a reply from you guys. 🤣 You guys have amazing content. Videos shot are of top quality, dare I say art. I truly get a lot outta you videos. I mean I'm subscribed to many channels. But what I get here is an experience. I'm gonna stop now as I risk being categorized as a fanboy 😂😂. Peace Guys!! #respect
For Petrol version , No one can beat THE HONDA CITY ....
Dev Shah
U are right..honda city is unbitble car in his segment..
Honda city ivtech is legend
Yes ofcourse we would love to have more comparisons like this...!! very good doubt destroyer comparison video..good job PD..!!! I'm just loving and feeling proud to be a part of PD ARMY... Want to have more comparisons videos of both bikes and cars..!! Hoping that Ull get back soon with tough comparison videos..!!
Vento is missed😞😞
jayraj vora yup.....vento lacks in features a lot..
No doubt vw group produces best build cars...
But...
Its not a key point for Indian buyers..
I'm not asking to buy tin cans of maruti...
My pick will be Honda City CVT ZX
over vento highline...
Yaris is a gud choice....
Bt.. Personally my choice will b Verna diesel 😊
Verna is a hunk. This car just look awsome.. On or off road.
Verna looks better
Verna has the best design
Anon Bianco but engine is not reliable
verna is the best everybody knows that except rear space, city is best, but Yaris ...!!!! definitely not a chance to compitate to verna and city but many reviews by youtubers promoting yaris, y the hell !!!
Harry S bro, toyota does things a different way than usual car brands. You may feel they are ripping of your pockets but the reliability they offer is something where no other brand can dream.
Stark Vds bro i feel years don't matter because most parts of every brands are common. Also i do agree that honda city is one of the best seller in this segment due to its reliability till date but as my family owns both honda and toyota, i can say that toyota service has built up an undestructuble reliability.
Honda is no doubt the drivers car here ,red lines like its no tomorrow .. But yes yaris is the car i will put my money on ! Cheap to maintain , reliable than its competition ,toyota after sales is best, is feature loaded and has a pretty youthful engine to have fun too (unlike verna ). Toyota has done it again ! Thanks glen. 💟
Stark Vds honda is also reliable ..
Thank god For not putting Ciaz
Wow what a comparo? Everyone gives monotonous stuff while u guys pointed out exactly what we need to know n what others miss to mention. Waiting for more such comparisons.
city any day!
Have owned 3 editions of Honda City the engine refinement is top class in all 3 editions even after years of use and is very stable at high speed feels like 80kmph at 140 but the only problem I have faced with the overall built quality rusting in the engine bay and the doors get clanky after a few years even the paint quality diminishes after sales service is also not very good .
I believe Hyundai gives the better bang for your buck
Verna is the best
It will not last for 3laks km. Engine will dead after 2.5 lacs. City last for 3 lacs km, yaris last 5 lacs km. Next decade people will use. That's Toyota.
@aerodom dom right said. We should spend based on requirements. If don't want to keep car for longer periods then Hyundai or Marti or Skoda and vw is good. If looking for low maintenance then maruti good. If ur looking for comfort Toyota and Honda is good. If budget is less Hyundai and Maruti is good. For mileage maruti is best. For strong build quality Skoda and vw is best. Best on the requirements people can buy.
@@rabindranayak1190 Hyundai offers 3 years unlimited kms warranty bro. 😂
@@d_techterminal jo pasanda hai le lo
1. Verna
2. City
3. Choose between the first two.
Verna
City petrol and Verna diesel are the best. You missed out on the high strength steel used in Verna making it a better in build quality and the ventilated seats. In automatic Honda cvt is good. Yaris looks outdated in terms of design. I feel in petrol it's the city and in diesel it's Verna which classify as the drivers car!
Sandesh R they will never talk about the build quality. That's one of the most important thing.
If we talk about petrol no one can beat Honda City in this segment, it's a time tested machine that promised the quality drive and very good fuel efficiency
Best comparison video ever.. Ohh yes, please continue this format on regular basis. And also do follow up video for the leftovers in same segment. Thank you
As far as this comparison goes, I would pick Honda City. It give a premium look on both outside & inside, the cabin is more practical, HLKS room (Head Leg Knee Shoulder) are more than adequate, even the materials used in the cabin from dashboard plastics to the leather seats are of decent (I would rather say good) quality.
Verna has more modern & first in the class equipments no denying it. But if the choice of engine is diesel I may suggest one to try Verna. But if it is Petrol close your eyes & go for Honda City.
Toyota Yaris... I don't know I have mixed feelings about that car. Be it the look or the material quality or the features on offer, nothing seems to please/satisfy the current generation customer. But like all Toyotas... Yaris also has a quality of growing on you on your day to day usage. But for me it's just like a Love it or Hate it model.
Sorry Toyota... Better luck next time...
City is the best of 3
Even until the big reveal I never expected the yaaris to be the winner; I thought it'll be the Verna followed by the city.
Don't know why but the Yaris isn't as bad looking or obsolete designed as people here whine about.
Prasad Wagh it is. It looks boring
Coz We Indians love following the herd.. rather than being mature!
Glen, it was a great experience to see you at the PDArmy meetup in Mumbai recently, and even better watching your narration here. Really did justice to the segment! :)
Mohan Sharma aye thanks bro :)
Glen Ivan please do post comparison of compact SUVs and sedans
I suppose the Verna is the best in this segment
Most comfortable seating , and the most fun to revv I-Vtec motor. For me, City is the best if price variation is not considered.
For me, it's the Verna, the smarter choice!
i would pick honda city all day every day it looks soo smart and beautiful
Toyota anyday because of Reliability, Comfort, Ride quality and low Service cost. 😎
Stark Vds Yes but in the long term Honda is a bit expensive to maintain as compared to Toyota. But both are fairly good to drive. :)
Yaris looks not good.verna is trying to be a cheap elantra.hands down the city is the most respectable and classic car u should buy if u have 10 lakh thank you
Adventure Guruji well do consider for under 10 lacs you're getting 7 airbags, 60:40 split seats, 4 wheel disc brakes. The city is a super machine for sure but keeping price value in mind, it's a close edge for the Yaris for me :) but I do value your comment!
Glen Ivan I am inclined towards the city since time immemorial.The yaris and the Verna are also good entry level sedans.
Verna is the best looking..no doubt
Nextgen verna is the most value for bucks
If it were upto me, the City would win this test hands down. It really is the most complete manual car of the lot. If it was a comparison of the automatics though, neither would make the cut. The vento TSi would win that test by a country mile.
Verna top model petrol SXO is the best option to go for if you are into automatic drive.
karan Jatwani what's the mileage
Please do a compare for compact SUVs Brezza vs Ecosport vs Nexon vs Scorpio/TUV
The conclusion was lame.., basically explained all the features and equipments as the reason for making the cut as top 3 in the segment, then ridiculously compares bare bone models in the end and says Yaris as the smart choice. Lol Smarter choice would be to go for a fully equipped one segment lower car in that case.
Top end Verna is a Lakh cheaper than other 3. Didn't mention that.
Sumanth M Rao Amen!
Wonderful one #powerdrift but.... it's the City!...well in this segment the numbers mislead us.... it's only the city.... let's conclude another way....which petrol car do you pick Glen Bhai?....😂😂 it'll be the City for sure!
Vasishta 1382 hHahahahhaha you got me there!! 😁 But yes keeping price and value in mind, the Yaris does offer a lot more :)
Verna is the best choice. It comes with ventilated seats which is a must in summers in India 😌
You should also include the Skoda Rapid Monte Carlo Edition in this Comparison
City is the ultimate
It is a evergreen car
Loved it!! Waited a long time for you guys to make this video.... Make more of comparisons
