Pros & Cons

Pros
Cons

Honda City
- Front end looks sporty and modern with sleek lighting elements and a sharp design
- Offers excellent ride comfort on bad roads while maintaining a planted feeling at high speeds
- Gets refined engine options and a great real-world fuel efficiency with the strong hybrid setup
- Comes with good daily use features and does not leave you wanting for more
Maruti Suzuki Ciaz
- Space. A genuine 5-seater sedan; gobbles up the family happily
- Fuel efficiency. Mild-hybrid tech on petrol ensures the wallet remains fat
- Well-equipped lower variants. You don’t really have to buy the top-spec for a premium experience
- Value for money. Aggressive pricing undercuts most of its competition

Honda City
- Headroom in both the front and the rear seats is limited and tall people will struggle
- New features like the 10.1-inch touchscreen and the 360-degree camera feel like last minute thought and need better executions
- The petrol engine gets loud under load due to poor cabin insulation and acceleration also takes time with the CVT
Maruti Suzuki Ciaz
- Misses out on a few good to have features such as a sunroof, six airbags, etc
- Automatic is an old 4-speed torque converter.
