@@TrendingPoonai I'm driving a 1ltr AT. Initially, i was concerned about the mileage. However, after the initial 200-300 kms, i started getting decent mileage. It gives arnd 14 kmpl in mixed Gurgaon traffic. Best it gave me till now was 17kmpl, and it was just a trip of 40-50kms. B2B is definitely low in the range of 8-9. Am about to take it on a 250 km drive, will update how much it gave me there. Talking of comfort, 3 averagely built people can sit comfortably in the backseat. The handling is top notch. Body roll is negligible given the GC. Also, mileage may vary considering the Octane number of the fuel being used. I always prefer 95 Octane fuel since this is a turbo engine. This is what is also recommended by the manufacturer. However, normal 91 Octane fuel, which is the standard in India, also works just fine. Though would suggest using 95 every once in a while.

Couple of drawback I see are : Headlight(LED) is not powerful enough, Infotainment system brightness /reverse camera could have been better.
Last 5 years, My Vento TDi is hassle free and beats any Japanese cars hands down. Thrissur to Bangalore thrice a month - Average mileage is 21 kmpl diesel. I spent 24000 on an injector 2 years ago and nothing else. It beats all Japanese toys on Salem-Hosur road. Build quality is amazing. Power. Mileage. VW makes excellent cars. Globally, Honda is nowhere near VW. In a country like India, they may be doing well
@@Tutelage810 because ur having vw's made back in time where vw cars in India were having German standards. Buy a 2022 skoda/vw and call it better than a honda city 😶 I have my respect for you and vag group in India
@@Tutelage810 You are absolutely wrong, if you want to see the power of Honda cars you need to go to the US. Americans love HONDA cars because it is long-lasting, fuel-efficient, and fun to drive. In the used car market, HONDA is the king, if a used car comes to the showroom within hours it will be sold, the worst are Merc & BMW, with no takers for used cars.
All it boils down to comfort and mileage in Indian conditions, we’ll for at least next 7-10 years. Turbo engines and 0-100 is not a day to day thing. German engines with high performance don’t provide the mileage we need with petrol prices steady over 105 for a long time now. It makes a big hole in average Indian pocket driving Germans. Being a enthusiast and making a practical decision are two completely separate things. 😊
Honda city hybrid is the best because of reliability and efficiency and safety, the new city got 5 star safety in Asian ncap and also auto lane mitigation, auto braking and ADAS safety
compare with the naturally aspirated city 1.5 with the germans. extremely biased towards the city as usual overdrive is on their parole. why didn't you say the german 1.5 TSI has cylinder deactivation which beats the anemic city hands down in everything. why can't you compare apples with apples?
They're comparing these cars coz they come at the same price bracket of 21-23 lakhs INR. 1.5L City costs around 16 lakh in India. And Yes these Germans are way ahead of Honda.
No brother , but u said "these Germans are way ahead of honda " but world wide Japanese technology are way ahead of germans and honda is one of those JDMs . Btw No hate for Germans
@@mahabharatgamerz7421 no doubt jdm's are great and people are now getting to know about them in India. I was mentioning about that particular price range cars available in India.
All time Honda cars the build quality and after sales service stand out......i have Honda City 5gen and also the civic always been a Honda fan and will be......☺️😘
The reasons as per my opinion, would be higher waiting time with the Germans due to chip shortage, also, there was a huge backlash due to the features they deleted in Slavia. Also, Kushaq Monte Carlo edition was launched, and it might have cannibalised the market considering Slavia and Virtus were even targetting customers from the compact SUV segment by giving higher GC. City has performed consistently since hardcore sedan fans, is what it caters to while the fluctuations in Slavia numbers can be attributed to them having targetted a mixed audience.
I don't know reviewer mistakely said it or not but 'the **boot space of City Hybrid is not 410 ltrs its 306 ltrs** which is huge gap from normal city having 506 ltrs and should be clearly reviewed before uploading or should have edited while final upload. Some things on germans have been discontinued and this video uploaded in August is not relevant otherwise for only driving experience.
I’m from northeast and we have just one dealership of VW that too it’s 400 kms away from my location, it’s sad that they don’t provide enough service centres and dealerships in our northeastern states, if we people here would like to buy any of their models than we have rethink about their after sales services. So here the enthusiasts people who would like to have one VW would rather buy other brands like Hyundai or Honda because of network service centre’s availability.
Slightly biased to the city, seems like the driving snd performance department didn't mention the incredible performance difference between the three. Even the features list is much bigger with the Germans.
Honda just need to add better infotainment system and other smart features for price they are charging to make from Better to BEST!!! Any days, Honda CITY remains King of B segment Seadan's
Don't be fooled by Overall Mileage. Check the In-City mileage where most of the Drives shall be. The difference is huge. City on an average shall be atleast 50% more efficient.
@@naveenbalineni235 not necessarily.. it depends on your highway to city ratio. For example, every year, i do long road trips multiple times. So about 70 percent of my yearly kms are on highways. When i was deciding on virtus, going by arai honda had overall efficiency of 19.5 or 20.. wheras virtus had 17. So.. sacrificing on tech and bootspace along with 3L extra price was not making sense. I could not recoup that 3L even in 5 years with extra mileage. Hence decision was clear virtus dsg. Many of my friends were also interested in city. But that old interior and ridiculously low bootspace caused them to back out as well.
Those NVH levels in the Honda he is talking about, I noticed that instantly during my test drive. I could not consider the City after that given the price they are asking. You can consider the Hybrid for its efficiency if you are going to drive it a lot. Other than that, the Germans are the way to go. And what about the 5 star Safety rating you get with the Germans, was there a mention of that? That is way more important than ADAS in India.
City hybrid has boot space of 306litres(because of battery 🔋 for hybrid system). It’s there in city’s brochure which was confirmed by the sales executive when I took a test drive of it last month.
If u see carefully, under thigh support of City is much better than both of Germans..seating position is equally good..the anchor clearly seems biased for German. Need more objective reviews
Since actual buyers cant drive for free, unlike moto-journalists and other social media influencers, after how many years will an owner have to scrap each of these cars?
Nice comparison..but slavia and virtus feel so overpriced for their 1.5tsi variants and even their small 1litre capacities are on par with the honda city ivtec they should have priced them aggressively!
True that 14.5L on road and you are getting punchy 1.0 tsi engine decent mileage Better looks good interiors features like cruise witeless charging 10 inch screen and lot more for their mid variant. 1.5 is for their lovers
City Hybrid is also overpriced. It's because of the imported parts that are used in the cars. For instance, the 1.5TSI engine is a completely imported unit, it isn't manufactured in India, so because of govt.'s tax policies, the price rises up. But personally I feel 1.5TSI is worth the price VW asks for!
@@sarangsp1591 i don’t think so..recently haryana has announced 15%discounts on ev’s and hybrids which makes their price reduced by 2.9lakhs won’t be long when this will be implemented in majority states and dude instead of pointing and replying to every user comment which wont make any difference in real world u better go and get a job.
@@draco0001 LOL, me speaking facts is making you insecure bro! Get a life, I already own an A6 and Vento, I have a job which is paying me for my hard work whereas Honda is paying you for promoting their cars, get the difference? I am living a real life and you're living a lie!😙🤡
It's really irritating when a channel like yours generalize both VW and Škoda brands as "the Germans". Yes both brands belong to Volkswagen group, and both vehicles are based on exactly same platform, but they are two individual car brands globally. Škoda is not German, it's a Czech brand. 😤 Instead of calling the both brands German, you can more correctly call them European if you wish to.
Currently Honda is dominating Formula 1 with its Engines, Toyota is globally known for its Reliability and Quality. They are far better that localized German Cars.
There's no wireless Android Carplay or Applecarplay in Slavia. They've dicontinued that and it's wired now with a price hike of 60k. Slavia when launched used to also get a sub-woofer alongwith an amp which is now removed. They have done cost cutting of close to 50k and increased the cost by 60k ex-showroom. 😡😡😡
Problems reported in virtus/slavia: Rattling and squeaking noise from everywhere Break noise AC ineffective Parts falling down on bad roads Gear stick breaking and coming to your hands Wireless charger heating Android Auto disconnecting Steering alingnment issues No physical control for AC No height adjustable seatbelt No dynamic guidelines on reverse camera Low mileage in city Low quality materials used
Been using virtus dsg, for 3000kms now. Been to very bad stretches of roads and also on highways at 200kmph.. I have not faced a single issues mentioned. Ac.. more effective than polo Brake noise ... not abnormal. It makes same noise as any other car would make when standing in a slope Parts falling down : only one guy has reported it and that too video is after the parts fell down. Recently i took it to some rain washed roads.. no parts fell. Gear stick breaking .. noone does kung fu with car. Wireless charger heating .. yes, it happens when i use wireless charging at home as well. Magnetic induction causes heating. Physics. AA disconnecting.. yes its a problem. Happened to me 2 times in 40 days. Steering alignment..if you drive rough its normal to happen. Take it to a service center. No physical control AC.. well.. 10 years back phones had buttons, now they dont. But phones still work Height adjustable seatbelt and dynamic camera.. disappointing to not see. But then again, to keep showroom price at 18L, retail value is 12.5L. Cost cutting. I will add even more cost cutting All 4 one touch win. Electrically adjustable seats Low quality materials used : i disagree Low mileage in city : i get same mileage as polo in its first month. Perhaps a bit more. Mileage is good for a car this size
Have owned a Slavia 1ltr TSI, driven 2000+kms.... Test drove a city just to be sure, then went ahead and drove the Slavia again. That test drive was exactly the moment i went ahead and booked it. Never regretted it. Just wanna know what is your source of this list. Is it an ownership experience or just some things you heard?
Virtus and slavia have active cylinder technology which gives much better fuel efficiency at 18 kmpl. They actually reach 0-100 in 9 seconds flat in manual mode. I feel this video is much biased towards city.
What is the point of reaching 0-100 in 9 secs for a regular car? It’s not competing anyone in high ways, just for little fun for seconds you’re compromising fuel efficiency 15 to 27. Other all aspects are same in every car. These turbo engines are ok for those enthusiast who can afford to change cars at whim. A regular person buys a car in India for at least 10 years. Think about it a second Mostly people’s now watch videos and comment the knowledge gained through videos on other videos. Most people here don’t even own a car 😂
@GT Suryateja bhai mere bhai k paas slavia hai 1L tsi Mere paas sonet hai 1L turbo. Engine of the year ki baat nhi kr rha me. Slavia 3500 rpm k upar shor machati hai.

@@dhruvilkumpavat6037 Yup, same would be the case for Grand Vitara as well. They are claiming 28kmpl right now! You would get a mileage of 15-16 on city drives in City Hybrid, maybe 2-3kmpl more than Virtus/Slavia. My opinion is Virtus would be a much better buy, City Hybrid isn't worth it
@@sarangsp1591 I've seen many cases city hybrid giving around 18-20 kmpl in bumper to bumper to traffic.. (which is 60% of the use case of many ppl). And it gives 20kmpl on the highway (I've seen so many blogs on that too).. good luck with 8-10 kmpl with VW and Skoda on bumper to bumper traffic 😂

Why are you keep on referring skoda as German it's pride of Czech republic .some of the tram which runs in Prague also designed by skoda .even though it's own by vw group that does not make it German. In that MG is an Chinese car .
Come on, guys.. you shouldn't have tried to give us fake data on one of the biggest drawbacks of Hond City e HV i.e boot space!! It is not 410 L but a puny 306 L..
Hope Honda will be there in India next year. They have shutdown a plant, discontinued all except two models. There are rumours that Honda will bring SUVs but so far we are not seeing anything here. Indonesia, Malaysia gets many new models but here Honda is not bringing anything.
Ohhh please, it's the best among the lot. Only an obtuse person like you would say something negative about a tried and tested Machine like Honda City.Vento,rapid,virtus,slavia will come and go but a Honda City will last atleast 2 decades.

Japanese cars are more reliable......they are more popular in middle East countries....so Honda City is my bet❤....German Cars are loaded with more features but their performance is poor in the long run.
Such a poor presentation...Referring to the City as city whereas for the other two cars as Germans! At the end you should have said the video is sponsored by Germans!...

I spent 24000 on an injector 2 years ago and nothing else. It beats all Japanese toys on Salem-Hosur road. Build quality is amazing. Power. Mileage. VW makes excellent cars. Globally, Honda is nowhere near VW. In a country like India, they may be doing well

@@Tutelage810 You are absolutely wrong, if you want to see the power of Honda cars you need to go to the US. Americans love HONDA cars because it is long-lasting, fuel-efficient, and fun to drive.

All it boils down to comfort and mileage in Indian conditions, we’ll for at least next 7-10 years.
Turbo engines and 0-100 is not a day to day thing. German engines with high performance don’t provide the mileage we need with petrol prices steady over 105 for a long time now. It makes a big hole in average Indian pocket driving Germans. Being a enthusiast and making a practical decision are two completely separate things. 😊
Honda city hybrid is the best because of reliability and efficiency and safety, the new city got 5 star safety in Asian ncap and also auto lane mitigation, auto braking and ADAS safety
Cost of city hybrid is around 26lakhs .where as slavia 1.5 is around 21 lakhs .slavia better than city
compare with the naturally aspirated city 1.5 with the germans. extremely biased towards the city as usual overdrive is on their parole. why didn't you say the german 1.5 TSI has cylinder deactivation which beats the anemic city hands down in everything. why can't you compare apples with apples?
They're comparing these cars coz they come at the same price bracket of 21-23 lakhs INR. 1.5L City costs around 16 lakh in India. And Yes these Germans are way ahead of Honda.

July month's sales Virtus and slavia combined lag behind Honda City, why are people choosing city over vw twins?
The reasons as per my opinion, would be higher waiting time with the Germans due to chip shortage, also, there was a huge backlash due to the features they deleted in Slavia. Also, Kushaq Monte Carlo edition was launched, and it might have cannibalised the market considering Slavia and Virtus were even targetting customers from the compact SUV segment by giving higher GC. City has performed consistently since hardcore sedan fans, is what it caters to while the fluctuations in Slavia numbers can be attributed to them having targetted a mixed audience.
Slavia 1.5 manual is the best
I don't know reviewer mistakely said it or not but 'the **boot space of City Hybrid is not 410 ltrs its 306 ltrs**
which is huge gap from normal city having 506 ltrs and should be clearly reviewed before uploading or should have edited while final upload. Some things on germans have been discontinued and this video uploaded in August is not relevant otherwise for only driving experience.
I love Honda City hybrid
I love the review, it is very classy, the music, explanation, locations everything are fantastic.
Pls suggest is buying Honda City 4th generation a better option as it's getting discontinued.
It is still a good option because it has been sold a lot in the market and there will b no problem in getting its parts....
Its a great buy.
Slavia is so classy 🔥
City mileage for Germans are 8-10 in traffic whereas Honda gives 24-26 in city peak hours
I’m from northeast and we have just one dealership of VW that too it’s 400 kms away from my location, it’s sad that they don’t provide enough service centres and dealerships in our northeastern states, if we people here would like to buy any of their models than we have rethink about their after sales services. So here the enthusiasts people who would like to have one VW would rather buy other brands like Hyundai or Honda because of network service centre’s availability.
Slightly biased to the city, seems like the driving snd performance department didn't mention the incredible performance difference between the three. Even the features list is much bigger with the Germans.
Let customer choose the features, for me non of those features are a deal breaker.

I agree, City over the Germans
Superb presentation
Such a funny ending! Throughout the video Virtus is being praised over City and the verdict hands it to City. Hahaha
🫠 as a package (that powertrain is so cool) it wins. But individual areas, we had our preferences
1L TSI sounds more enthusiastic than this guy!!
Despite being hybrid it still manages to beat the Germans in terms of fuel efficiency overall marginally.. very suspicious
Honda city has higher mileage. Check the 100km mileage review.. i think its by gaadiwadi channel
Don't be fooled by Overall Mileage. Check the In-City mileage where most of the Drives shall be. The difference is huge. City on an average shall be atleast 50% more efficient.
@@naveenbalineni235 not necessarily.. it depends on your highway to city ratio.
For example, every year, i do long road trips multiple times. So about 70 percent of my yearly kms are on highways.
When i was deciding on virtus, going by arai honda had overall efficiency of 19.5 or 20.. wheras virtus had 17.
So.. sacrificing on tech and bootspace along with 3L extra price was not making sense. I could not recoup that 3L even in 5 years with extra mileage.
Hence decision was clear virtus dsg.
Many of my friends were also interested in city. But that old interior and ridiculously low bootspace caused them to back out as well.
My manual petrol in city traffic gives 14 and on highway 20, so obviously they have made error in this video, everywhere ARAi is 25-26 for hybrid
@@TheAshuV how old is your manual petrol
Honda seats are not over bolstered, its well cushioned. And rear seat is also like a typical sedan should be.
No comparison of adas features!! City gets it others dont...
Those NVH levels in the Honda he is talking about, I noticed that instantly during my test drive. I could not consider the City after that given the price they are asking. You can consider the Hybrid for its efficiency if you are going to drive it a lot. Other than that, the Germans are the way to go. And what about the 5 star Safety rating you get with the Germans, was there a mention of that? That is way more important than ADAS in India.

Does city eHev have a boot space of 410L. I remember reading somewhere that it was in the low 300.
Yeah, I am confused too
City hybrid has boot space of 306litres(because of battery 🔋 for hybrid system). It’s there in city’s brochure which was confirmed by the sales executive when I took a test drive of it last month.
@@Aniruddhm yeah, these guys have mentioned 410L in the comparison (see the text scrolling down at the bottom). This is a really major draw back.

Oh how far will the passenger need to stretch to click the ventilated seats? How could they make a car so wide like a truck!
Broader cars have better stability and cabin space for 3 passengers
Since actual buyers cant drive for free, unlike moto-journalists and other social media influencers, after how many years will an owner have to scrap each of these cars?

Honda value for money
Nice comparison..but slavia and virtus feel so overpriced for their 1.5tsi variants and even their small 1litre capacities are on par with the honda city ivtec they should have priced them aggressively!
True that 14.5L on road and you are getting punchy 1.0 tsi engine decent mileage Better looks good interiors features like cruise witeless charging 10 inch screen and lot more for their mid variant. 1.5 is for their lovers
City Hybrid is also overpriced. It's because of the imported parts that are used in the cars. For instance, the 1.5TSI engine is a completely imported unit, it isn't manufactured in India, so because of govt.'s tax policies, the price rises up. But personally I feel 1.5TSI is worth the price VW asks for!
@@sarangsp1591 i don’t think so..recently haryana has announced 15%discounts on ev’s and hybrids which makes their price reduced by 2.9lakhs won’t be long when this will be implemented in majority states and dude instead of pointing and replying to every user comment which wont make any difference in real world u better go and get a job.

It's really irritating when a channel like yours generalize both VW and Škoda brands as "the Germans". Yes both brands belong to Volkswagen group, and both vehicles are based on exactly same platform, but they are two individual car brands globally. Škoda is not German, it's a Czech brand. 😤 Instead of calling the both brands German, you can more correctly call them European if you wish to.
Finally, someone said it, hardly seen any auto reviewers mentioning this. It's like saying Lamborghini is a German car.
Slavia elagant looks & mainly 1.5 gets manual gear box it's absolutely boonkers

Slavia when launched used to also get a sub-woofer alongwith an amp which is now removed. They have done cost cutting of close to 50k and increased the cost by 60k ex-showroom.
😡😡😡
Virtus super power
he is a fan of Honda City
Honda is the correct choice
How is there so much difference between the fuel economy of Slavia and Virtus? Not at all convincing.
Technically both should have been same
Difference in tyre pressure probably. It's quite sensitive to that.
Its the handling and 2cyl mode config.
I get pretty much same mileage in virtus as shown here
Its a fake one !
It's the same engine in different looking cars...both are sister brands built on the same platform ...
Problems reported in virtus/slavia:
Rattling and squeaking noise from everywhere
Break noise
AC ineffective
Parts falling down on bad roads
Gear stick breaking and coming to your hands
Wireless charger heating
Android Auto disconnecting
Steering alingnment issues
No physical control for AC
No height adjustable seatbelt
No dynamic guidelines on reverse camera
Low mileage in city
Low quality materials used
Been using virtus dsg, for 3000kms now. Been to very bad stretches of roads and also on highways at 200kmph..
I have not faced a single issues mentioned.
Ac.. more effective than polo
Brake noise ... not abnormal. It makes same noise as any other car would make when standing in a slope
Parts falling down : only one guy has reported it and that too video is after the parts fell down. Recently i took it to some rain washed roads.. no parts fell.
Gear stick breaking .. noone does kung fu with car.
Wireless charger heating .. yes, it happens when i use wireless charging at home as well. Magnetic induction causes heating. Physics.
AA disconnecting.. yes its a problem. Happened to me 2 times in 40 days.
Steering alignment..if you drive rough its normal to happen. Take it to a service center.
No physical control AC.. well.. 10 years back phones had buttons, now they dont. But phones still work
Height adjustable seatbelt and dynamic camera.. disappointing to not see. But then again, to keep showroom price at 18L, retail value is 12.5L. Cost cutting.
I will add even more cost cutting
All 4 one touch win.
Electrically adjustable seats
Low quality materials used : i disagree
Low mileage in city : i get same mileage as polo in its first month. Perhaps a bit more. Mileage is good for a car this size
That guy is Korean and talking about his Hyundai shit

Virtus and slavia have active cylinder technology which gives much better fuel efficiency at 18 kmpl. They actually reach 0-100 in 9 seconds flat in manual mode. I feel this video is much biased towards city.
What is the point of reaching 0-100 in 9 secs for a regular car? It’s not competing anyone in high ways, just for little fun for seconds you’re compromising fuel efficiency 15 to 27. Other all aspects are same in every car. These turbo engines are ok for those enthusiast who can afford to change cars at whim. A regular person buys a car in India for at least 10 years. Think about it a second
Mostly people’s now watch videos and comment the knowledge gained through videos on other videos. Most people here don’t even own a car 😂
