Pros & Cons

Pros
Cons

Honda City 4th Generation
- The City’s interior space and build quality is good. In fact, it is comparable with even some D-segment sedans
- At 510 litres, the City’s boot is among the most spacious in the segment. It’s also the same as the Ciaz’s.
- The City gets a one-touch electric sunroof, which is unavailable in most cars in this segment
- The Honda City gets six airbags in the top-spec ZX variant. Not many cars in this segment offer that
- The petrol City is among the most fuel-efficient automatic cars in its segment.At 18kmpl, it is about 2kmpl more efficient than the Verna petrol automatic, which has a claimed efficiency of 15.92kmpl.
Kia Carens
- Looks unique, in a good way.
- Good presence with generous exterior dimensions
- Lots of practical elements integrated into the cabin
- Available in 6- and 7-seater configurations
- Turbo-petrol and diesel engine options
- Automatic transmission option with both engines

Honda City 4th Generation
- High Price: the City is the most expensive car in its segment. The City’s top-spec ZX variant is almost Rs 1 lakh pricier than the Verna’s SX(O) variant, City’s closest rival in terms of features and performance
- Infotainment System: the City’s 7-inch touchscreen infotainment system is laggy and lacks Apple CarPlay and Android Auto functionality, something which is offered in every other sedan in this segment
- NVH levels could have been better. Diesel engine’s vibrations and noise can be felt inside the cabin
- The City is not offered with an automatic transmission with its diesel engine. However, other sedans like the Vento, Rapid and the Verna get it
- The Honda City gets touch-based AC controls in its top-spec variant, which are not easy to use while driving as you will need to take your eyes off the road to use them
Kia Carens
- Missing some premium features
- Looks more like an MPV, than an SUV
- 16-inch wheels look small on the overall large side profile
