Compare Honda City and Hyundai Verna

Despite being a 2008 design, the interiors of the Honda City still looks contemporary. Though most of the competition today is offering more bells and whistles than the Honda City. The cabin is spacious enough room in both the rows.

Sporting a much larger wheelbase that its preceding Dolphin-shaped model, the present version of City has an even larger room to offer its occupants. In other words, the head-room, the front row leg-room and the rear-seat knee-room get further enlarged, making easy and airy accommodation of five passengers no problem at all. Even the boot gets a very voluminous area to its name where travel kits can be stowed away very easily. On top of that, the seating chamber has stowage, spaces and holders in case the occupants wish to keep a few things handy.

As far as the comfort is concerned, the seats lining the cabin of Honda City have never been cosier. They are plush, well-contoured, complemented with supportive head rests and jacketed in premium grade sheathing, whether fabric or leather. The rear-seats incorporate a fold-able centre arm rest as well that can double up as a storage area too. The cabin area, meanwhile, receives a sporty three-spoke leather coated steering wheel and an auto gear shifter well-sculpted to fit the palm perfectly. In addition to all this, what makes the ride in Honda City even more joyous is the trendy and elegant dual-tone theme of beige-black that spans the entire cabin imparting a very fine and sophisticated feel to it.

Corporate: Honda City Corporate is the very base model of this beautiful ride and consequently, gets loaded with only the very basic characteristics expected of a sedan. For the driver's zone, the car packs some really nice features like power steering, front and rear power windows, adjustable steering column and triple-pod instrument console integrated with an electronic multi-tripmeter and low fuel warning light. For safety purposes, the Corporate version of City involves an extensive range of tools and technologies like ABS, BA, power door locks, child safety locks, anti-theft alarm, driver and passenger airbags, halogen headlamps, rear seat belts, seat belt warning, side and front impact beams, engine immobilizer and centrally mounted fuel tank. Apart from these, other additionals include an AC/heater unit, premium fabric upholstery, adjustable headlights, power adjustable ORVM and rear window defogger.

E: Next in line comes the Honda City E, which carries forward every trait and tool that Corporate offers while adding a couple of its own like a CD player/radio unit and front-end speakers, thereby, introducing the entertainment element that was missing in the lower-end variant.

S: One level higher than E stands the Honda City S which adds fitments like multi-function steering wheel, tachometer and audio system remote control for the driver's assistance, and along with that packs up a key-less entry mechanism, alloy wheels, speakers mounted both at the front as well as the rear end and power/manual adjustment options for the ORVM.

V MT: Another step ahead along the City range, and we meet the Honda City V MT, which, besides bringing in some novel features of cruise control, leather steering wheel, front fog lights, sunroof and ORVM-mounted turn indicators, also drops a couple like tachometer and power adjustment option for ORVM. Also, the fabric upholstery that lined the lower models get replaced with sporty leather covering in this variant.

CNG: The newest member of the Honda City clan that holds an environment-friendly CNG bank at its core as a power-source costs marginally more than the V MT variant but the bells and whistles that adorn both these models are exactly the same.

V AT: On a level higher than the CNG-fuelled version stands the Honda City V AT, which is nothing but the automatic counterpart of V MT, and hence, gets loaded with an almost identical set of features and fitments with the only differences being the substitution of leather with fabric and the abandonment of the sunroof and the leather coating of the steering.

V AT Sunroof: The sunroof version of Honda City V AT sports a leather sheathing for the seats and the steering besides incorporating a sunroof as well.
