Car Deal of the Day: Live out your dreams in a BMW M2 for £467 per month

Here is the list of top 10 features that you will find on the new 2020 Honda City but not on the Maruti Suzuki Ciaz.

Honda has finally revealed the new generation 2020 City in India. The upgraded sedan gets a new platform and is also bigger than the outgoing one. The unofficial bookings for it have already begun at dealerships across the country and the launch is scheduled to happen sometime next month itself.

In India, we will be getting the fifth generation of Honda City. The same engines will be used but will now be BS6 compliant. There will be a major change related to the petrol engine getting a mild-hybrid technology, sometime in the future. Further, it gets many new features among which a couple of them are segment-first features too.

The new City will get its existing 1.5 Litre petrol i-VTEC and 1.5 Litre i-DTEC diesel engine. The petrol engine will be capable of producing 120 BHP and 145 Nm of peak torque. The diesel engine will produce 100 PS and 200 Nm of peak torque.

The new City is 4.55 metres long, 1.75 metres wide and 1.49 metres tall. It is slightly bigger than the outgoing version. This could mean that the new City will be more spacious than its rivals as well. It will compete with the likes of Hyundai Verna, Maruti Ciaz, Volkswagen Vento, Skoda Rapid and Toyota Yaris.

10 Features That You Will Find On New Honda City But Not On Maruti Ciaz

1. Automatic LED Projector Headlamps

City will come with LED projector headlamps on the top-spec trims. On the top-end trims itself, the sedan will also be offered with automatic day/night headlamps. A handy feature for people who usually forget to switch off their headlight.

2. Electric Sunroof

In this segment, Verna and City are the only ones offering an electric sunroof and will continue to do so. Sunroof are not that popular in India because of our climatic conditions. However, younger buyers often consider the availability of an electric sunroof.

3. Diesel Engine

This is not a feature per se, but an important highlight over Maruti Ciaz. The latter may have one of the most fuel-efficient petrol engines in its segment, but the need for a diesel engine is felt. The new City will get a 1.5 Litre diesel engine with a 6-speed MT as standard. In the segment, it will be among the two cars that offer a diesel engine.

4. Hill Start Assist

If you are climbing a slope and after releasing the clutch, the car is going backwards the Hill Start Assist feature kicks in. The system automatically assists the car in going up at a limited speed. The new City will offer this but we are not sure if on manual gearbox too.

5. Ventilated Seats

The new City will get Ventilated seats which is a very underrated feature. In a humid country like India, by switching on the ventilated seats, your entire seat starts getting cooler. This feature was introduced in the budget segment by none other than Hyundai.

6. Six Airbags

Working more on the safety issues, the new City will get six airbags on the top-spec variant. It will include dual front airbags as standard with additional side and curtain airbags.

7. Vehicle Stability Control

VSC is used to prevent the wheel slip while cornering or taking a sudden turn at high speed. This feature indicates that maybe, the new City will get some Sports quotient with it. The current one is more elegant or classy rather than sporty.

8. Tyre Pressure Monitoring System with Deflation Warning

TPMS is a very handy feature as you can check the pressure of your tyre on the instrument cluster itself. If the pressure is lower than suggested, then it will automatically display low air pressure. Additionally, it also gets a deflation warning which tells you if the tyre is deflated or not.

9. Internet Car Technology With Alexa

Internet car technology is a trending thing that is seen on many upcoming cars. New City is the first one from the manufacturer to offer it. For the technology, Honda has paired up with inbuilt Alexa system. That along with a new touchscreen infotainment and updated electronics will offer you a great experience.

10. Lane Watch Camera

The last highlight is also a segment first feature. With lane watch camera, you can see if there’s any car on your sides using cameras attached on ORVMs. You can keep a check on car coming in the side lane or even while taking a turn.
