- With so many options to choose from, the mid-size sedan segment has never been so competitive. Renuka Kirpalani and Nikhil Bhatia test the Hyundai Verna, Honda City, Maruti Ciaz, Skoda Rapid, Fiat Linea, Ford Fiesta, Nissan Sunny and the Renault Scala in the popular diesel-manual spec to zero in on the best all-rounder.

After owing Honda City, Hyundai Verna and now Skoda Rapid.... I can say it that Skoda Rapid is the best. If u love driving car then u must go for Rapid
Very true. Rapid or Vento is the best mid-sedan. Both comes from same VW car manufacturing plant at Pune.
Exactly bro I felt that
1:49 my heart broke. Because it's a very comfortable car and a lot spacious. The car has completed 95000 km and it runs still smooth. This car can be given 3rd place maybe.
i love skoda rapid. best and most powerful among these cars.
Common! Rapid is the clear winner for me as I Love to Drive! What about automatics? nothing can compare Rapid's DSG..
Compare the petrol versions too! I'd love to see the linea T-jet kick everyone's ass!
I only see comparisons on the diesel engines, these days. Please do a similair comparison on the petrol variants !!!!!! the fuel price difference is not as huge as before !!
3:12..............Exactly when my heart broke :(
Exactly Same :(
Aniket hahahahahahaha
Me too , I was watching this for fiesta . This review is only with big cars on space . Fiesta outsmart every one on an average. The engine , economy, power, drivers enthusiacstic of , everything is working for fiesta yet its not included also discontinued in india .
Skoda! any day
it's more comfortable and build way better. still I would prefer the vento between any of these cars.
That's a OG sedans 😍
with no gimik features like today only pure driving experience with comfort.
Please add a video comparing these cars with
VW vento.
It's difficult to compare between Ciaz, Rapid and City. City has an amazing legacy in India , being the most popular sedan in India. You just feel so proud driving the highly reputed Honda City. You just enjoy driving Rapid so much that you don't feel like stopping. Ciaz is a really good car overall, the most premium Maruti car with plenty of features. But I'd buy the Ciaz any day because of Maruti's trust, cheap pricing, good resale value, reasonable maintenance charges and excellent fuel efficiency. Skoda's resale value is very poor and maintenance charges for the City and Rapid are outrageous.
The ciaz is cheaply made and underpowered
There clear winner was ciaz while leaving 2 most driver focused cars like linea and fiesta. Money talks.
I just don't get it. After sales service of Skoda is high, but the build quality is good and people are ready to pay a premium. I dont buy a 1.3liter engine for 10lakhs.The c segment is where the consumers equation changes. Those parameters would suit hatches.
If I love to drive, I go for the superb. And for all those doctors who do need a plus sign to ride can get a dsg automatic which is awesome.
If I'd like to be chauffeur driven, i still go for rapid in spite of not being as airy as the ciaz, that's because you know we are brand conscious.
Finally happy to see a new segment leader!
gopikrishna swargam German cars are always good in safety and built quailty. They have to pass the tests there. Not like Marutis. Skoda feels like a tank and runs like a jet.
Maruti offers the same diesel engine on hatchbacks, sub four metre sedans and saloons just tuned differently. Verna's ride quality and suspension is no way nearer to vw and city. And while city looses on its engine's noise and poor performace, its Rapid and Vento which score in every area. Impeccable build quality and premium finish. Maintenance is no longer an issue since bot vw and skoda have decreased their spare parts cost. Germans are known for their detailing and vento is just a perfect example of that. You know you are safe in a vw!
Linea is my fav😍😘
Ciaz with 1.6 multijet is the one to watch out for. Hope they get it soon.
If Fiat lends the 1.6 Multijet to Suzuki before planting it in its own Linea or any other model in India, I'll switch to some other brand from Fiat. :(
Its coming buddy 1.6 on Suzuki Across and Kisashi. Dusshera 2015
+Rohit Chauhan curious to know.. Have u switched to other brand? As 1.6mjd is already introduced in suzuki s cross.. And rumours are out that Fiat is letting Suzuki to introduce it's 1.9ddis via Grand Vitara suv...
Ciaz zdi gives a mileage of minimum 19kmpl and max 25kmpl
Its the best diesel car ive come across....
after trying all these cars myself..I bought Skoda Rapid dsg style plus
thats good choice
Vikas Gupta
👍👍
I say rapid is winner because it have safety high speed stability and driving dynamics
I just booked a ciaz after lot of test drive and mix match..... Over all mileage space looks service cost etc are best in it
Only a small compromise of power that too very less noticeable difference when compared with city
After all maruthi is a grown up kid now
Not at all! City is in it its own league. No car can beat it in petrol engine..Only the car matches with it is vento tsi.
its absurd to rule out Fiesta as whole package.Besides being a drivers delight but also having a refreshed design makes it to stand out of the crowd.
+eclaracs It looks hideous
I would still go for Skoda!!
Ambarish Kulkarni i've rapid 2013 and have driven the recent verna, city, ciaz none of which match my rapid for the quality, safety, comfort, elegance, mature looks...however, service is a factor that the company is yet to show progress....sad, a car of Rapids quality needs more effort from skoda on after sales...
After salas ,services is poor in skoda !!
@@faheem9333 it depends on your city's sc & showroom
@@Akhil2481 well drive a fiat linea t jet then. You will get 2 know what indians are missing
I really wanted u guys to compare fiesta with the other cars , just bcoz of less spaced u guys discarded it.I think it's way better than the ciaz,though the ciaz is a spacious car but I think this car still needs a bigger engine.Rapid is an exceptional car but who will pay for the service cost.
When considering power its rapid the better option,ciaz is the more spacious among these all cars and also the ride quality is amazing for long journeys,but it lacks power a bit,but its not that much big concern when considering the fuel economy..
Great comparison n wow what a professional approach. ..great job guys....keep it up
Ciaz? Really? Also , knocked out the 2 best most enjoyable drivers cars (Fiesta and Linea) in round 1 itself. way to go :(
Brake Verna suddenly at 120+ and you know how unstable it is. Also unsure whether Ciaz will ever reach 120+
Sunil Appukuttan BREAKING ANY CAR AT 120+ WOULD BE A SCARY SCENARIO. BE IT AUDI OR MARUTI.
Exactly man! Verna starts dancing when you do maneuvers at high speeds. Hyundai and maruti make tin cans they don't give shit about the quality or customer safety
Dhaval Patel Bikram Mann WHICH CAR DO U OWN?
+Vatsal Naik .bro. u juz drive a fiat linea @170 OR 180 km speed..u can feel it the quality of breaking...
+swadeshi shoes +Vatsal Naik
Linea stays "LINEAR" always :) thats where the name comes from
Eagerly waiting for a detailed review and road test of the new 2015 Vento by ma'am Renuka Kirpalani.
Vento has a slight edge over the rapid in the
case of premiumness......But Rapid has marginally better ride and handling.......
I have the Fiat Linea and would not trade with any of them lot. :)
plz do review on new ciaz hybrid..I bet it will be first again
yes eagerly waiting for Ciaz hybrid video
Dronesh Patil
Verna is great and luxury and technology is good and better than other cars
Skoda Rapid is clear winner here. it has got great power, looks (if you purchase black package), good ride & handling.
Nissan sunny is best
Ciaz is the best with a very good styling, spacious cabin, great features, high quality interior etc.The engine seems to be very smooth and refined and the cabin is well insulated.The handling and travelling comfort is superb in ciaz.Even though it is 89 bhp it wont feel under powered at all..It feels more powerful than ertiga which I owns before..Now ciaz has come with their hybrid version which claims having fuel efficiency of 29 km per liter..Hats off to the new SHVS by Maruti suzuki..I am very sure that this will be a great success in the Indian market..
Very well said !!👏
Of course, tin can won't sip fuel
Akhil Rajeev high quality my ass people like you raise up shit companies like suzuki. Its shitty sales all over world except india shows what cheap mentality people like you have ignoring the likes of vento fiesta and city. You just want features! That’s all u don’t need quality.
Akhil Rajeev lol
Sköda Rapid is the new segment leader according to me, just the solid feel from the moment one opens its door spells QUALITY, the design is understated and evergreen. The Suzuki on the other hand is absolutely powerless, suzuki is employing the same diesel engine in all its cars right from the swift to ciaz, cheap build quality, poor aesthetics. And perhaps regarding the after sales service, the notion needs to be changed as sköda is taking the customer seriously now. It's high time people grow over the Japanese and Korean counterparts.
you r right
It just cannot get any better. . . . this is why i have been reading autocar since last 10 year. . . the weather could have been better for the photography i wish . . . .
A refreshed comparison today will surely tell a different story... RAPID has become so much more after d facelift. Ciaz is a tin can, n more importantly not all dat great to drive(which shld be priority)
the Renault Scala's rear fascia looks just like the Nissan Versa Sedan's rear end (but over seas its called the sunny)
Fiesta❤
WHICH IS BETTER TO PURCHASE CIAZ , SKODA OR CITY FOR LONG TERM WITH LOW MAINTENANCE
no doubt ciaz is the best among all of them....but its really very difficult to make a choice between ciaz and city.....good comparison.....
City has the better rear seat and is also the better car to drive !
If budget and ease if maintainance is a person's concern then he would buy the ciaz !
Else city is easily the best !
Why not a drag race? Just for fun
maxmavrick7 you need RWD for that. none of these are such
dipanjan d so FWD cars cant go in a straight line?
dipanjan d some people are dumb af
you get the same performance, but it is highly dangerous. think about it as push and pull. RWD's push, while FWD's pull. the pulling effect at such high speeds puts a lot of stress on the body of the car.
plus, there is a need for traction, which is visibly less in a FWD car. Why do you think FWD has so much understeer problems?
rapid is best in handling and dsg ger box ..love it..
My New Hyundai Verna was the obvious choice. I recommend you to drive it before you come to a conclusion as Ciaz which was supposedly the chosen car here was not good to drive at all !
If something has to be eliminated then verna should be the first .fiesta and linea are the drivers choice....
+sarath sp
You are an idiot
The best thing remember to choose a car is the Engine. There is no comparison with Honda Engine .So the clear winner in this segment is Honda City only.
ciaz has best ride quality it soaks bumps and potholes ease,but it lacks power.NVH levels are good in verna and next one is ciaz.
Great video!! But i don't think I saw the back seat comment for the Hyundai Verna??
Thank you for this Comparison Test. I am now scheduled tomorrow for a Suzuki Ciaz for a possible close deal.
which car is better.. Ciaz or the rapid for the diesel variants.. also for the automatics in mind
ciaz
varun mittal DSG BOX IS THE BEST GO FOR VW OR SKODA FOR AUTO
Skoda rapid is best sedan in this segment 💯 percent.no one stand infront of Skoda rapid.
my suggestion is-
1. buy honda city- for it's looks & comfort. it is a status symbol.
2. buy skoda rapid- for its built quality & powerful engine. & if u are a true enthusiast of Driving.
Honda city was a status symbol....a decade ago...when it was the lone king of the forest.....but when every house have one or even more cars.....of this range....what kind of a status symbol are u talking about.....Its no more i guess....else go for audis and benzs....
u r rite... bt in india all people r not the owners of the audies, merc,&bm's.. i say for those common ordinary ppls.. so for those it might be a status symbol..
No problem if vento is not there, because u have got its other twin sibling Rapid. It is not fair to compare Vento with city yaris ciaz or verna, because it's just like comparing men with school boys. Vento is a heavy weight car and gives high class ride and safety. If people wants quality and safety then its Vento.
If vento looks dated, please don't forget brother Taj Mahal is built 400 years ago. Moreover Japanese cars looks as beautiful as Japanese are, Japanese cars are for mass, German cars are for royal class.
It's very unfortunate nobody ever mentioned the weights of the cars
#AutocarIndia Do this showdown again. Coz Many cars have been facelifted and updated etc.
Guys like so theyhear our call.
i think skoda rapid is the best. There was a fun to drive witthe car
Will please make a video on same segment because all the cars now have gone through a fecelift especially
Skoda rapid and Verna...
more comparos like this please!
these are by far the most interesting,
we want more!!!!!
The ciaz price and maruti batch is the thing that gave ciaz the edge it wants .
Rapid is a clear winner here. After sales and service of Skoda have improved a lot. You can see that both the reviewers were point blank after they said about ass of rapid because there is no other thing that can go negative about the car. Also the true potential of rapid can be seen by the fact that it was introduced in 2011 and in 2015 too without much changes its standing on the top! Think what will happen to the competition after European facelift hits the Indian market ;)
Thanks Renuka & Nikhil
Plz do a video comparing the scala vs sunny
After watching many reviews in 2015 June we bought Diesel Honda City...but no one then & even now reviewed headlights...
Honda City is partially blind at nights... Now only in topend they provide LED..
On highways it's very hard to drive above 90kmph as the cattle/parked vehicles are not visible..
I'll say Tata Vista headlights were far better than Honda City's headlights.
Please do review night time visibility of the cars..
Skoda rapid is the best due to better build quality, the best gear bog i.e DSG, and world class brand and many more...!!!!
do a test drive of all of them and will know the difference immediately. skoda simply clever.....over and out. i own a octavia 2015 automatic and i can say in mumbai its service in comparison to a honda or toyota is like stone age. but there is no drop in quality standards. also its a hassle of once a yr come on big deal. and pple talking of cost of maintenance is really not fully true. honda has a 3 monthly/quarterly service of 3 to 4 k .....maruti is the cheapest but not so cheap. skoda and vw have a yrly service which will cost u around 8 k-10k anually. i wont mind paying 2k more per yr for the safety and ride quality.
ciaz is a such a great car......luv it
where is vento
tarun deep because It doesn't have a facelift
Vento is compact sedan
Did you even watch the video?
They mention that Vento should have been there but they couldn't get it.
cricket 24/7 no it is not. A proper c2 sedan
@@prashant_ambaliya vento is not a compact sedan
I test drive all those 4 top cars. And finally got the Rapid top end manual. In silver colour. Damn its super stable and drives like a little sports car. So nimble and fast and superb to handle. Great on city and highway. Added point - the music system on the car is as loud as the on on my friends bmw. Not kidding. Awesome sound. Must experience it. In terms of music system , all three cars are a fail in front of rapid.
I do agree with you Sir
THE HYUNDAI VERNA, WHEN DRIVEN CORRECTLY ON HIGHWAY GIVES 20 TO 24 KMPL MILEAGE.
MY 4 YEAR OLD FLUIDIC IS A LIVE EXAMPLE!
Best Petrol Car: 1-Honda City 2-Linea 3- Verna
Best Diesel Car : 1-Rapid/Vento 2-Verna 3- Fiesta
But if you can spend a little extra just buy a Chevrolet Cruze. :)
haha we can say that ciaz is no. 1 now its milage fuel efficency cost all ...ciaz already removed honda frm 1st place in petrol version linea etc its all under rated
come on dude , Chevy Cruze is the worst car in that segment . Please know more about automobile and comment . :)
rutvick pedamkar
well if you have the money then it has to be skoda octavia
@@febbyjose7874 shall laugh on this comment ?
It is so ironic that an entire category of Entry level midsize Sedans has vanished in India. The cars like Manza (about to be discontinued), Sail, Verito, SX4 (discontinued), Etios don't have a ground beneath them any more.After the Sub-4 m sedans coming (which is by the way a category we welcome,and so do the manufacturers thanks to the tax benefits), you have to either go for the pricey 10 lac cars or settle down with the sub 4 m sedans.
The car makers should understand that people still want to buy the entry level sedans which are actually the proper family budget sedans without any compromise on space,comfort or performance.
for example, there is a huge gap now between the base Dzire Lxi (5.08 lac) and top end Ciaz Zxi+ (9.65 Lac).
Indian Auto industry though is a tricky place.
Came here for Ford Fiesta
What about built quality after accident
September 1st 2024 🤝🏽😀
the only thing that spoils thos and some other videos is the music soundtrack which is way too loud. it makes it difficult at times to hear what's being said.
I find it very odd for every review on the internet calling out 1gb internal memory in hyundai verna. Does anyone know how this actually helps a driver in real world scenarios? Syncing songs to my pen drive or phone and playing them over bluetooth or aux usb seems straight fwd. how does the 1gb actually help?
Also They say "updated" bluetooth in adverts but no one really verifies if it actually adds value... The updated verna still does not support changing songs over bluetooth. Whereas the polo and vento versions though they have the old looks, they support changing songs over bluetooth. Functionality wise they are more well rounded and user friendly button layout...
@autocar folks : Any chance we could incorporate these details into the video reviews from end user perspective rather than calling out names of features?
At last some pointed out the truth. That 1gb memory is a joke and all the reviewers are highlighting it as if its a new technology. Seriously whats the cost of 1 GB memory card or a pen drive.
Anand Shankar THANK YOU!!!. what will i do with 1GB internal memory? i can only rip music from CD's . nothing more. I can just carry my pen drive with me for that. or better, use that 5 gb of music from my phone.
Anand Shankar I Own the new verna 4S, But have never used the internal 1GB memory. And I dont care for that either. I also dont use the USB much. I have all my music on my phone and stream it via bluetooth. I would like to correct you on the Bluetooth part. I can as easily skip songs using the steering mounted controls as using the phone.
The only gripe I have with the Bluetooth is I cannot connect more than one device simultaneously to the music system.
Can we see a similar comparison for Petrol variants too.
I like ciaz in petrol and vento in diesel
Comparison of petrol automatics
Vento rapid not there on any channel
No one talks about CIAZ 1.3 LTR engine which is very less powerful compared 2 others.
My vote is to Honda City, be it diesel or petrol
i liked verna but the rear space is less n no ac behind.i ll prefer skoda but den maintenance cost is high! m clueless which one to buy ;u/
+Ankita Priya Maintenance cost for Skoda Rapid is not high
Infact very high.
Ankita Sorry if dis is too late.. but have to disagree on d maintenance part... coz although the cost of parts is high.. the maintenance needs are far fewer... you won't need to rush to d service centre every now & then.
Plus the impeccable build & superb handling clearly make d RAPID a winner. Especially so after the recnt facelift. 🍻
ciaz is the best mid-size sedan in it's segment.
What ever happened to the Honda Civic?? Is it still a car worth buying or is it just outdated!?? Plz do a comparison between the civic and its competitors!!
kushal2kool discontinued
poor mileage is reason behind
Luxury sedan class is not popular in India so Honda hasn't released civic in india
rapid manual or auto which one is best
prashant surgoniwar
automatic it is
prashant surgoniwar its been 8 months.. but seeing dis had to reply..The dsg is great to drive at first.. but the dsg used here is the dq 200 which has a bad rep. Has given several problems on the superb. Rapid bein budget my concerns are only magnified.
Lines is safe and has best engine
I personally love the fiesta but it became costly by more than a lakh this year and ford isn't too interested in selling it rather than exporting it from India. Also no advertisement for this car whatsoever.
Would consider Ciaz over it now just for the sheer space, decent looks, fuel economy and features. Its vfm proposition is what makes it a winner though.
Great review, great comparison!!
my budget is 10-12lac maximum, and I want a 7seater car. which one is the best buy for me???
Price??
Where is vw car
Ciaz
innova ,mobility or ertiga
i bought ertiga zxi+(2017) 10.37 lakh top model best 7 seater
If you really intelligent then choose among vento rapid Verna fiesta and Linea too due as this stands on strong built quality and safety
Comparison with other ciaz and city poor built quality
This review was good enough but incomplete. The 2015 Vento should have been present. I think the new vento beats all these. Please try and do a comparison of the top four against the vento. Waiting for the new vento to be reviewed anyways.
Get Vento TSI if Petrol or Rapid/Vento TDI if diesel. All other cars are good on features but cant even come close to how good these German's feel to drive.
its ok to say Honda has Very noise engine but actually this is the one which performs well in really conditions. it is about diesel but what about Petrol which do you think is the best in the class?
Linea
Why not you can do one mega SUV comparison
Is that the B segment? A "subcompact car" segment. I'm confuse.
Which has best quality ? Rapid or city or Verna?
LINEA
The new Hyundai 4S verna is a good car with some good features!
If you are looking for a solid car it is rapid
Karthik ramki Solid built quality and superbly engineered. Feels like a genuine European car. Also its sister Vento from VW.
What about the 2015 Toyota Corrola?
