What owners and testers say

Independent evidence only. Never the maker’s own marketing.

+ The e:HEV hybrid returns around 21 km/l on a magazine test loop, the best of any petrol car Autocar India has tested+ Owners consistently rate the ride and the rear seat space, which is what the City has always been bought for+ The petrol engine and both gearboxes rarely feature in owners' problem lists− There is no Bharat NCAP rating for this generation, and the ratings in circulation belong to the previous generation or to the Thailand-built car− Interior rattles are the recurring owner complaint, most often traced to the dashboard, headliner and sunroof− Depreciates fastest in its segment: five year old petrol manuals sell at close to half their original on-road price
5 more things owners and testers say
+ The manual's real-world highway figure of roughly 18 km/l lands close to the certified number− The plain petrol misses its certified figure badly in town, at roughly 11 to 12 km/l against a claimed 17.8− Owners report poor headlight throw on the LED variants, with workshops saying nothing can be done about it− The Honda Connect app is reported as glitchy− One owner reports rust spots near the boot and a subframe refit for a rear door noise, which is one account rather than a pattern

Why there is no overall score

Scores are our reading of published, independent evidence, not the manufacturer's, and we deliberately publish no single overall rating: a car can be excellent on safety and weak on resale, and one number would hide that. How we score, and how makers can respond.

The ZX+ e:HEV tops the range at ₹21.36L ex-showroom. Over the base SV it adds level 2 (core suite) ADAS, 360° camera and blind spot monitor, and 20 more.See the ZX+ e:HEV Hybrid AT in full →

What the Honda City trim names mean

What do the Honda City trim names mean?
A trim is a level of equipment, and Honda uses 5 names for them on the City: in its own order they run SV, V, ZX, ZX+ and ZX+ e:HEV. The name is not the car, though: V alone covers 2 variants, differing in gearbox rather than in equipment, so the trim you settle on still leaves you a choice. Between them the 8 variants cost ₹12.00L to ₹21.36L, ex-showroom.
SV
1st of 5, one variant, ₹12.00L
V
2nd of 5, 2 variants, differing in gearbox, ₹13.51L to ₹14.51L
ZX
3rd of 5, 2 variants, differing in gearbox, ₹15.47L to ₹16.47L
ZX+
4th of 5, 2 variants, differing in gearbox, ₹16.36L to ₹17.36L
ZX+ e:HEV
5th of 5, one variant, ₹21.36L

How the Honda City is sold, and what each way costs

You can have the City as petrol or hybrid, with a manual or an automatic gearbox. That pair narrows the list before any trim does, so it is the thing to settle first.

Is there a petrol Honda City, and what does it cost?
Yes. The cheapest is the SV Petrol MT at ₹12.00L ex-showroom, and 7 of the 8 variants are petrol. You can have it either way: the cheapest petrol automatic is the V Petrol AT at ₹14.51L. For the gearbox on its own, look at the V, which sells both: ₹1.00L more as an automatic than as a manual.
Is there a hybrid Honda City, and what does it cost?
Yes. The cheapest is the ZX+ e:HEV Hybrid AT at ₹21.36L ex-showroom, and 1 of the 8 variants is hybrid. It is automatic only, so there is no cheaper manual hybrid to drop down to.
