Pros & Cons

Pros
Cons

Honda City Hybrid
- Great fuel efficiency: Offers segment best fuel efficiency with its strong hybrid powertrain
- Quick performance: Gives you quick acceleration thanks to the assist from the electric motor
- Good features: Comes with an 8-inch touchscreen, 7-inch digital driver’s display, ADAS, and a lane-watch camera
Mahindra BE 6
- Concept car-like styling Stands out and can pull attention away from supercars
- Two battery pack options with an estimated real-world range of 400-500km makes it very usable for long road trips
- Superb infotainment experience: dual 12.3” screens and 16-speaker Harman/Kardon Audio on offer
- The strong safety suite includes well-calibrated L2 ADAS. Works well in Indian conditions

Honda City Hybrid
- Limited rear seat space: Tall passengers will feel cramped due to less headroom
- Missing features: A 360-degree camera, ventilated front seats, and a branded sound system would’ve been a nice addition
- Less boot space: Boot space gets reduced compared to the standard version because of the battery placement
Mahindra BE 6
- Rear seat headroom for tall users and outward visibility for short users could have been better
- Styling is very polarising and may be too over-the-top for some in your family
- Low roof and high step inside makes Ingress egress difficult for the elderly in the family
