VW Vento, to give tough competition to Honda City

Honda City has been the unleashed leader in the exclusive sedan segment in India since it came to domestic auto market before a decade ago. Honda City in India had many challenges but none was able to drift the executive sedan from its top position. But now it seems that the situation is a little different for the Japanese auto maker with the globe's biggest auto mobile maker entering this segment.

The German car marvel has rolled out 3548 Volkswagen Vento cars. While Honda City sold only 120 cars more than the Vento. It shows how soon the German car maker is catching up the auto segment. The newly introduced Maruti SX4 Diesel has already made 5000 bookings which shows its popularity. The Newer version of Hyundai Verna 2011 and the most awaited Ford Fiesta 2011 are likely to beat the sales figure of the Honda City. As per the auto experts from the Indian auto industry Honda City should soon launch the diesel version of the same.

As looking at the present scenario of the increasing petrol prices and the demand for the increasing diesel wagon, it will be likable if the auto giant launches the diesel sedan soon.

Having driven both the new Honda City and VW Vento, it seems the Vento beats the City hands down. Much better build quality, far superior and classy interiors and classy exterior are the starting points. When one drives the machine, the difference is more evident. Doors close with a thud giving a big car feeling and the diesel version is plain delight. No bother for the potholes and bumpers, Honda City is particularly flimsy in negotiating bumpers. Gr8 job VW just keep it up with after sales service and for God's sake, reduce the waiting period!
