#MotorBeamers! Slavia or City? 😀
slavia anyday
Slavia
city for reliability rather than shitty slavia with unreliable engine
Slavia
@@balasuriyar1711 yeah TSI series is unreliable , nicely done genius😂🙏
Mad respect for both brands for sticking to sedans, both cars are amazing
Still after years,Fiat Linea is as long these cars, had 185mm ground clearance with one of the best handling, and turbo petrol too with 125bhp! Although I bought A Honda city ivtec in December, but still Linea was way ahead of every other sedan in that era
Also the stunning look
Absolutely! That was a gem!
We had to say goodbye to ours (multijet) just because of the pathetic service from Tata (initially) and Fiat exclusive was not better either!
What do you feel about sunny diesel variant .
Not to mention the vault-like build quality of the Linea. You felt that the car could punch through a rock if needed.
@@theacechip yups, new cars are getting lighter and easier on the build
VTEC kicked in yov, always gives chill, raise your hand if you liked to hear city screaming at 7.2k rpm ✋
I own city 5th gen and get mileage of around 11 12 in city(stay in heavily traffic area) and 18+ in highway.
Never faced issues with ground clearance. I intentionally tested in bad patches and high speed breakers with 4 adults.
Butter smooth engine and ivtec roar is pleasant to the ears.
Only downside I felt is the sound system which could have been slightly improved and the rear camera.
I personally own a city, No offence the old cars in the family - Ford ikon , Lancer and the Old baleno offers much better back seat comfort than the new city . Probably cos they are heavy . My mom prefers the old Baleno when we have to travel to our native villages .
Price
Petrol?
@@rono577 yes
Is it manual?
Ground clearance should also be test in speed breaker with full loaded
Brilliant comparison, thank you so much!!!!!
A fair comparison would be when one includes the pricing too for eg the top model City CVT Zx comes at around 18.change where as the Skoda Slavia is around 21 change on road. The 1.5 Slavia is miles ahead and also pricey , the sunroof comes in the VX model of the city which is 16 change on road where as the Slavia gives the sunroof at 18 on road with a 1 litre 3 cylinder engine , both models automatic ofcourse. Honda offers more value for money and durability with a 1.5 4 cylinder engine , maybe these things won't matter when new but as time goes by a better Engine with an extra cylinder will be more lasting and durable. Hondas maintenance will definitely be less than the Slavias. Its a personal choice ultimately but if one goes for sensibilities than looks then City would be more apt . To each his own.
Nicely explained. The burden of turbo on a 1 litre 3 cylinder engine will be felt by the owner only after a few thousand kilometres and by that time, it will be too late to regret.
@@docgbsmule8712 Yes , true
Wonderful comparison. Clearly explained
Moral of the story! You are still confused which one is better:P
I have city 3 rd generation
After taking ride of slavia
The drive quality on scode is another level now i'm buying slavia 🔥
"Indianised" i wish video bloggers and customers stop using this term. It just gives a justification to manufacturers to compromise on quality.. we need to call cheap is cheap.
Exactly, if it feels cheap just call it cheap. No need to invent new words to justify something inferior. But they have to please their sponsors too.
Sedans will come and go...But Honda City will be Undefeated King forever...😎
🤣🤣🤣
Yeh bro
Big dady of sedans
strange the ground clearance test didn't consider speed breaker
Bad patch of road is more dangerous than a speed breaker...bad patch of road is like a road full of speed breaker...
Nice review 👍
Great review
Heart goes for Slavia, brain goes for City
I never tried skoda slavis but I have city 5th genration manual.believe me it is excellent.ride comfort and driving dynamics are very good.smooth going .yes it is not such car to drive fast but very relaxing
I am the one who would prefer something new. So my pick is the Skoda Slavia.
Perfect review would be with Honda city hybrid vs slavia 1.5 & city i-vtec vs slavia 1.0 (my suggestion)
0 to 100 should have been of 1.0 litre skoda. 1.5 litre skoda is much more expensive than the city.
City ehev is priced higher than 1.5 slavia brother
@@NeerajRajput_49 thats a different car altogether
@185 B Neeraj rajput you stupid
😂🤣
the comparison should be between 1.0 TSI and 1.5 NA VTEC
as they are same price range
thanks for sharing
I personally like slavia and virtus but Mileage of Honda city in city is around 13-14 and on highway around 17 -18 so in terms of mileage city beats skavia ..petrol prizes are increasing day by day so city is good choice..price of city is also on lower side ..also mid varient of city have sunroof
Always skoda any day quite anxious to buy it
Get in faisal to do a video here once a while! The views say it all!
Most awaited video on RUclips
Both Automatics tested?
Also please do in-depth review of i20 nline n8 dct please please please
Gear throws in 5th gen City are definitely not shorter... If you drive a Maruti/Nexa and come to this you feel the need to put more effort but tall gear ratios and slick shifts feel great 👌🏻
City, of course! More fuel efficient, more comfortable, less maintenance, less glitches and peace of mind, what else do you need!
You mentioned about the tyres not holding on at higher speed. Could you elaborate.
Thank you for the comparison as it helped me to make my decision.
The DSG box has complaints about it's life and maintenance. Is it true? I feel Honda engine will be peace of mind
Yes, true.
It was earlier but now they've worked on it and u also get a warranty of 6 years for DSG gearbox so there won't be any problem.
Bhai dusro ke baat par dhyan de kar gaadi mat kharido toh hi acha he
They both look like decent vehicles. I know about Honda but have never heard of the Skoda Slavia
although four wheel vehicles are not my forte'. I ride two wheels.
I was same few years back...it all starts this way for hard workers
honda city for the vtec. provided the 1.5 tsi is under 18 onroad
If u buy a car above 15 lakhs, u shouldn't care about mileage...and the tsi is under 18 cuz of the performance...if u need performance u can't get mileage & vice versa
@@Slainself Well yeah. But i was never talking about mileage in the first place. I am concerned with its long time maintenance costs
Ever driven tsi??
@@saswatapaladhi4608 that's cuz it's German...Germans with low maintenance cost is impossible... quality comes with a cost
Did you guys spot the mongoose crossing XDXDXDXD ?
In terms of design though both cars standout ...it's the old mk1 Octavia...
Which the Slavia is benchmark ed
Skoda should provide sunroof in ambition model of slavia means in mid varient like honda city vx model
0-100 should have been done with both manual and automatic
Of course . Skoda make excellent cars. But City is tried & tested product for years. Almost all City owners are happy with their car. City is fun to drive car, extremely comfortable, refined engine. Honda reliability and assurance. Skoda a typical German car. That is th difference. Both are good. But City is a level up than Skoda.
City and fun to drive ? Lagta teri neend ab tak udi nahi jag jag ! Hahaha jokes apart bruh u haven't experienced Slavia in real life, experience it and then comment about the fun to drive factor. I'm not saying city is bad but in terms of build quality, driveability, gc and comfort too Skoda's Slavia is a balanced product while city is more focused towards comfort
Ahem..it's quite the opposite, Germans are ahead of Honda and other Japanese manufacturers...having many generations doesn't make the car good....Honda & skoda both have similar reliability scores..and almost all customers of both the brands are satisfied with whatever purchase they make..plus don't put BS in comments when u ain't know 🦠💨💨
@@Slainself reliability and skoda doesnt go well together.
@@sandeepmenon9656 ur brain nd body don't work well together
@@Slainself Reliability is synonymous with Toyota abd Honda.. U are wrong on many levels
Proudly owning Slavia after lot of research!! 1 litre torque converter is both smooth n fun to drive in city n highway. Better built with a swag !! Honda City missed by a small margin .
Milage?
@@sashmithun if u need performance...become rich and stop caring about mileage
@@Slainself and also stop caring about environment, right?
Get Educated!
@@ladypuma7739 😂😂 uneducated mistakes will teach me now😂
City 8 to 10 with significant traffic
Mix 12 to 14
Highway above 14
Which one of these has a better build quality, the sturdiness.
2:37 mongoose in the background be like .. check my ground clearance ..😄
I am very confused. I personally prefer NA over TC because in city Turbo charger offers pathetic fuel efficiency. Also I like gradual (non surgy) acceleration. I prefer linear acceleration but interiors of Slavia are something else. So I am literally confused. I think I should take test drive soon.
I am seeing almost same mileage b/w my city and slavia, i.e 9-10 kmpl
U compared 1.5 turbo vw to na 1.5 in 0-100kmph test!! When compared to price gap is 4 lakh ( slavia is pricey) u should compare city ehev with 1.5 from vw
Bro please can u do evolution of ertiga
Cars apart ... 2:35 - 2.40 what is crossing behind ? Snake or Mongoose ??
Mongoose
I like both the cars in terms of design, so quite confusing here.
Compare both in manual variant
I own city and my friend owns slavia intially I also though about slavia but if you see long term city is cheap in maintenance and spare parts cost u know of slavia it is costlier and honestly I drive most of rides in highway I get always 19+ satisfied with this car
Looking at the comments, a Honda vs Škoda Fanboys episode should be in your pipeline @MotorBeam 😂
Well its "city". Booked Slavia without test drive for being new in the segment but did Cancelled due to its claustrophobic cabin.
highway mileage till date (20.2 kmpl). Going tomorrow for 5k India road trip 😋
Nice review...Background music irritates
Which is best car Hoda city diesel or petrol..?
Petrol, but if your daily running is above 40kms+ than you should definitely consider diesel
If you’re going for petrol go for city else if you’re buying diesel then go for verna
Instead of side camera in the cabin, you could've taken shot from behind
The honda interior makes me recall 90's sedans as compare the slavia feels much more opulent
My honda city 7 years old giving 23 with ac and 25 without on highway its awesome
Diesel or petrol?
@@sreenathranganath4270 diesel
Let's wait for the VIR DUS
for those saying that the DSG can/t feel jerky, just try the city once. CVT smoothness cant be matched by any DSG. this may be a good DSG, it will give good performance but it can never match the smoothness of a CVT.
The DSG is jerky when you launch the car
Not just perfomance it can never Match reliability of CVT
@@pizmos.this DQ200 DSG is a dry clutch unit anyways. And dry clutches are not suitable for Indian conditions . Hence , a CVT outlasts DSGs.
@@arkajeet7547 your right
@@idkaathi it 'feels' like that cuz of the initial turbo lag
I vtec this name gives peace to ears any day city
Honda city with diesel AT would be a great offer
For a sec I thought Anurag Kashyap was hosting the show 😄
Honda city middle class is dream car hai.. Pura BMW ki feeling aati hai ❤️😀
You missed out on the maintenance, the city is much reasonable in service and spares than any skoda!!
@2.36 something crossed the road..
Go for Slavia 🔥🔥🔥 petrol and City diesal 🔥👍
2:37 what's on road
Mongoose
Just booked Honda city for my mother
Everyone knows Honda city is best in terms of relaibility. I have been a skoda superb owner and trust me it gives you a feeling of unrelaibility and not to mention the little heart attacks everyday.
He he, heart attacks!
Ok we all know that city manual is way faster then slavia and virtus
And they did know it that's why they did with automatics wow
I found city better in smoothness
2:38 someone notice mongoose in the background?
Slavia for me
bhai dont feel bad or anything
but either ur mic has an issue or something
but ur voice is really not clear in english
try hindi or another speaker in ur team
He wore glasses to hide his habit of wink …lol
Only drawback of city is skinny tyres 😂
The 0-100kmph for the Slavia, which Slavia was it? 1L or the 1.5L? I'm guessing it was the 1.5L.
yes
it's 1.5 tsi
1.0 tsi slavia takes 11 seconds 😂
higher seating position
Sportiness = 💩
Sadly the manufacturers can’t please everyone.
but sedans r known for their sportiness.. if it's sedan minus sportiness... it's like dhobi ka kutta na ghar ka na.... I want good GC don't care about driving dynamics go for suv simple as that
@@anishskaria yeah that's the reason they manufacture hackback with high GC and call it SUV 😜
@@kill3rbyysight exactly, when you sit on slavia it just feels like an suv crossover, but when I sit inside my city, it's just right to be called as proper sedan
A chameleon crossed the road at 2:40...🫠
Not sure about Slavia's quality but if I compare Honda's build quality to pre MQB A0 IN VAG cars, it simply feels like a trash can.
I like the design of Slavia but the high ground clearance makes it look super weird, it looks taller than Rikshaws!
City is luv anyday
I usually like you motorbeam critisim but once in love with something you dont need anyones advice almost a year ago i saw european rapid and knew it will be in india as slavia i was radically in love with this beauty make honda city is a ass 110 bhp rapid defeated 5th gen city in drag thats the engine by skoda against all odds i chose Slavia
These drag races are logic less and stupid in real world...It's the safety and comfort is what matters in real world...There is no match to Honda City in these Fields...😎
@@abhayprabhu4256 oo mahashay don't try to criticize Slavia by saying it's not safe huh. Lol Slavia is a notch better by city in terms of build it's not as great as rapid, Vento and polo but still it's best in segment. And talking about comfort, it glides on roads, Check out Faisal khan's review, ICN studio review to get a unbiased review. This guy is shit, saying city is sportier than Slavia 🤐. I admit city has a rev happy engine but it's not sportier than Slavia by any chances
@@abhayprabhu4256 and these 1.5 TSI, it doesn't rival city hahaha infact it doesn't have any competition. It's on another league altogether
@@mrperfect971Oh Chacha...Stop daydreaming... Skoda was known for its build quality but Slavia is a localised car made for India of which 97% parts is produced in India...So there is definitely cost cutting everywhere in the car...If skoda was so confident with its build quality...why has it not crash tested like Honda and Tata do before launch? Only 2 airbags in 2 variants? You get 4 airbags in base and 6 airbags in mid variants on City 5th which just shows the branda priority... Comparison of Rapid and city 5th never made sense as rapid was almost 3/4th the size of City and was dated with almost nothing inside... Features distribution shows brands purpose of the launch...with Slavia, looks like Skoda want's all to buy the style variant as almost 50% of the features are only available in the top end variant
@@mrperfect971 1.5 TSI style model costs 22 lakhs in Bangalore so not a match in any sense...even the top end ZX CVT comes for 18lakhs... Paying 4 lakhs just for the engine for a CVT version is only not foolish if budget is ever the concern...

Always Honda City for sure. If i have to select Skoda then it's only for the best thud sound.
I own VX MT CITY
at 2:37 you can see a snake crawling in the back. be aware while driving guys.

Honda City has more Natural Aspirated engine which is reliable and family oriented with good comfort for elderly. Better customer service.
Virtus and Slavia- The Sedan Revivals of India
When u offer higher ground clearance in a sedan, it means u have ruined the car, compromised stability.
Acceleration is higher in salvia, but the city is unmatched at the top speed.
Slavia has galvanized steel body not like rusty iron body on city
How the heck these guys find so empty roads to test drive😜😂😂
Slavia any day. There is no match for the driving dynamics, the stability on high speeds, the performance of 1.5TSI paired with lightning quick DSG. Even if I was given a choice between 1.0TSI vs 1.5 NA, I would rather choose 1.0TSI
2:37 You have a guest appearance by a Mongoose behind you.
Good VW group introduced sedan . Don’t know y ppl are crazy for SUV . (Which is not actually SUV)
Sedan means comfort
City is the king
19:19 20:07
I think you people missed Hyundai Verna...
verna bhai ab kya hee kahein
it's just an extended i20
@@kill3rbyysight i20 has better features than verna now. Better leg space as well.
Honda City 🔥🔥🔥
did he just say the jerkiness of the car is bcoz of the dsg gearbox? ok wow this guy needs to learn his gearboxes. If it is jerky, it cazntbebcoz it's a dual clutch you legend. Dual clutches are known for a reason.
Have you tried the city bro...?? Love the slavia..but the dsg can't match the smoothness of the cvt
You guys should show this ground clearance test to every idiot who thinks the City still scraps it's bottom because the ground clearance remains at 165 from 4th gen...
I being a 5th gen owner have never had issues with ground clearance even on the biggest of speed breakers and potholes as long as I am doing single digit speeds
People who thinks ground clearance is bad are idiots avoiding to you? So, according to me, ppl who owns it are stupids! 😂
Same here, never scraps
@@neerajsjpr cheers 🎉🎉🎉
Happy and safe motoring with the best naturally aspirated petrol engine 🔥🔥 and i-Vtec
