Our take on this /// Verdict

The Honda City Diesel ZX 5th Gen is a solid choice for those seeking a reliable and comfortable sedan. The 1.5-liter diesel engine, although not the most powerful at 99bhp and 200Nm of torque, offers good refinement and fuel efficiency. However, it lacks the low-end grunt, making it less enthusiastic in city driving, especially in second gear. The cars handling and ride quality are commendable, with well-tuned steering and a balanced suspension setup that handles both city roads and highways with ease. The interior is spacious, with good ergonomics and supporting seats, making it a practical choice for families. Safety features, including a 5-star ASEAN NCAP rating and good safety kit, are a significant plus. However, some drawbacks like the lack of wheel well insulation, poor camera resolution, and no ventilated seats might be a consideration. Overall, its a great option for those prioritizing comfort, reliability, and fuel efficiency.

Price

The Honda City Diesel ZX 5th Gen is priced competitively in the Indian market. The ex-showroom price for this variant typically ranges between 14.5 lakh to 16.5 lakh, depending on the region and any additional features or accessories. On-road prices, including taxes, registration, and insurance, can go up to 18 lakh to 20 lakh. While it may seem a bit pricey compared to some competitors, the premium is justified by the cars quality, safety features, and overall driving experience. For those willing to invest in a reliable and feature-rich sedan, the Honda City Diesel ZX 5th Gen offers good value for money.

Latest Updates

Thursday, 09 March 2023 04:49 AM Honda City 5th Gen Discontinues Diesel Engine The Honda City 5th Gen has discontinued its 1.5-litre diesel engine, now offering only a 1.5-litre petrol engine that is BS6 Phase 2 and RDE norms-compliant. This change is part of the updated powertrain, which includes a six-speed manual and a seven-speed DCT unit with paddle shifters. I believe this move could impact the vehicles appeal to those who prefer diesel engines, but it aligns with the industrys shift towards cleaner fuels.

Thursday, 09 March 2023 01:02 AM Enhanced Safety Features in the 2023 Honda City The 2023 Honda City facelift has introduced several advanced safety features, including Honda’s Sensing ADAS (Advanced Driver Assistance System). This includes adaptive cruise control, blind-spot monitor, lane keep and departure assist, high-beam assist, and forward collision warning with emergency braking. Additionally, the car now comes with six airbags, auto headlamps, and a rear-view camera. I think these additions significantly enhance the safety profile of the vehicle, making it a more attractive option for safety-conscious buyers.

Monday, 20 February 2023 08:57 AM Improved Ride and Handling The fifth-generation Honda City has seen significant improvements in its ride and handling. The suspension tune has been tailored for Indian roads, addressing the stiff ride quality issue of the previous generation. This update has resulted in better shock absorption and a quieter suspension system, making the car more comfortable on both city roads and highways. I believe this enhancement will greatly improve the overall driving experience, especially for those navigating Indias varied road conditions.

Wednesday, 15 February 2023 04:25 AM Styling and Design Updates The 2023 Honda City facelift features subtle cosmetic upgrades, including a redesigned bumper with a black insert, new 16-inch alloy wheels with a dual-tone finish, and a new Obsidian Blue color option. The rear bumper has been re-profiled with a new diffuser and horizontally placed reflectors, adding a contrasting look. I think these changes give the car a fresh and modern appearance without straying too far from its original design.

Tuesday, 10 January 2023 09:28 AM Advanced Technology and Features The Honda City 5th Gen boasts advanced technology, including an 8-inch touchscreen infotainment system with wireless connectivity for Android Auto and Apple CarPlay, a wireless charging pad, and ambient footwell lighting. The car also features a 17.7 cm HD full-color TFT meter and an Alexa remote capability. I believe these technological advancements make the Honda City a compelling choice for those looking for a feature-rich sedan.

Mileage

Tuesday, 19 November 2024 12:44 PM The Honda City Diesel ZX 5th Gen is known for its impressive fuel efficiency, which is a crucial factor for many Indian buyers. In city driving conditions, you can expect a mileage of around 13-15 kmpl, while on highways, it can easily touch 16-18 kmpl. This makes it an economical choice for both daily commutes and long road trips. The fuel efficiency, combined with the cars overall performance and comfort, makes it an attractive option for those concerned about running costs.
