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
MG RX5
- Clean and sophisticated European styling
- The MG RX5 already has a plug-in hybrid model that could be introduced here at a later stage
- Always connected to the internet and can do several things such as remote start, switch on the AC, make payments, among others
- Will be bigger than both the Creta and Compass but would still be priced in the same range

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
MG RX5
- MG is a relatively unknown brand in the country compared to Hyundai and Jeep
- Dealer and service network would be limited at the time of launch
