Honda has now launched the fifth generation City in India, after it was delayed for more than 3 months. The bookings already commenced months ago and now the prices have been revealed. On the other hand, two months back, Hyundai also launched the facelifted Verna which also gets a lot of upgrades.
While the Verna gets a facelift along with a BS6 engine upgrade, the Honda City gets a proper generation upgrade. Now, both of them are in a very fierce competition which will confuse a lot of buyers. So, here is a detailed comparison between the Verna and City, detailing the price, engine specs, mileage and all the other details!

Power | 115 PS/120 PS | 122 PS |

It also comes with a 1.0 Litre three-cylinder turbo petrol engine, that puts out 120 PS and 172 Nm of peak torque. That makes it the most powerful sedan in the segment.
City continues with its 1.5 Litre iVTEC engine, that now produces 122 PS and 145 Nm of peak torque. While it may sound that its the same old iVTEC engine but is actually new. For better low-end torque generation and a smoother power delivery, the engine now gets DOHC instead of SOHC, along with improvements to the VVT technology.
Engine | 1.5 Litre Diesel | 1.5 Litre Diesel |
Power | 115 PS | 100 PS |
Torque | 250 Nm | 200 Nm |
Verna gets a new 1.5 Litre diesel engine, which produces 115 PS and 250 Nm of peak torque. The City gets the same capacity 1.5 Litre iDTEC engine but produces 15 PS and 50 Nm lower. So, here, the latter has a disadvantage but it is then expected to give a better mileage.
