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 Dzire
- Looks distinctive: New design elements give it an identity different from the Swift.
- Excellent boot space. Can store an entire suitcase set along with two soft bags.
- Comfortable ride quality: Cushioned over regular imperfections, and limits movement on sharper potholes too.
- Ground clearance: 163mm is more than enough to drive easily over rough roads.
- Safety package: 5-star Global NCAP crash test rating and 6 airbags as standard.
- High mileage: Returns around 15-16 kmpl in the city in regular driving conditions.
- Offers feel-good features like sunroof, 360 degree camera and 9-inch touchscreen.

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 Dzire
- Low engine refinement and performance: Feels dull with a full load and overtakes require planning.
- AMT transmission: Slow and jerky on the highway, and upshifts quite early leaving less usable power.
- Limited headroom: Sloping roofline limits headroom for 6-footers.
