Pros & Cons

Pros
Cons

Honda City
- Spacious cabin: Rear seat kneeroom rivals cars from a segment above
- Best in segment interior quality: Soft touch materials, sturdy buttons, and smooth plastics add a premium feel
- Comfortable ride quality: Absorbs speed breakers and potholes with ease and offers a cushioned ride
- Sophisticated design: No flashy design elements and a clean look makes it look classy
- ADAS standard in multiple variants: Makes features like adaptive cruise control, lane keep assist, and autonomous emergency braking more accessible
Maruti 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
- Lacks ‘wow’ features: Does not get ventilated seats, powered driver seat, and a branded sound system
- Limited powertrains: No diesel engine on offer
- Tight rear seat headroom: Would be an issue for tall passengers during long drives
Maruti 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.
