About

The Honda City Diesel S is a well-rounded sedan that excels in several key areas. Powered by a 1.5L i-DTEC diesel engine, it produces 100 PS and 200 Nm of torque, paired with a smooth six-speed manual gearbox. The interior is feature-rich, with a responsive touchscreen-controlled automatic climate control system, ample storage space, and comfortable seating for both front and rear passengers. The cars handling and steering are precise, although the ride can feel a bit stiff over medium-sized bumps.

Our take on this /// Verdict

The Honda City Diesel S is a compelling option in the Indian market, particularly for those who prioritize fuel efficiency and a balanced driving experience. While it may not excel in outright power, the 1.5L i-DTEC engine delivers a respectable 100 PS and 200 Nm of torque, making it more than adequate for both city driving and highway cruises. The engine, although noisy in lower gears, becomes more refined as you shift into higher gears. The steering is light and precise, and the ride, though a bit stiff, ensures the car remains composed at high speeds. However, the diesel clatter and heavy clutch might be drawbacks for some. Overall, its a brilliant all-rounder, especially for those accustomed to diesel cars, offering a great blend of performance, comfort, and fuel efficiency.

Price

The Honda City Diesel S is priced competitively in the Indian market. As of my last update, the ex-showroom price for the Honda City Diesel S typically ranges between 11.5 to 14.5 lakhs, depending on the specific trim and features. On-road prices, including taxes and other costs, can range from 13.5 to 17 lakhs. This pricing makes the City Diesel S an attractive option when considering its robust feature list, spacious cabin, and excellent fuel efficiency. The value-for-money proposition is strong, especially when you factor in the long-term savings from its impressive fuel economy.
