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 Grand Vitara
- Premium looks: LED headlights, LED DRLs, upright SUV stance, connected tail lamps and 17-inch alloy wheels.
- Good creature comforts with features like ventilated seats, 360-degree camera, panoramic sunroof, and rear sun shades.
- Multiple powertrain options: mild-hybrid, strong-hybrid, CNG, manual and automatic transmission options and all-wheel drive.
- Super efficient: Hybrid powertrain returns more than 20kmpl in the real-world.
- Ride comfort: Excellent ride quality on all kinds of surfaces.

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 Grand Vitara
- Misses out on diesel engine offered in rivals like Hyundai Creta and Kia Seltos.
- Boot space: Compromised boot in the hybrid variants can only accommodate medium-sized suitcases and smaller bags.
