Honda City 2014 : First Looks And Video Reviews

The much awaited 2014 edition of Honda City got reviewed by popular brand powerdrift and we are happy to showcase the video. One of the most anticipated cars of the segment, Honda City shows up with features that are all set to conquer the market. Although the pricing point is still in discussion, we will have to wait few more months to see what Honda prices the car at:

Honda’s i-VTEC engines are renowned for their brilliance, but this time around, the company is focussing on a diesel motor -- the 1.5-litre i-DTEC that debuted in the Amaze and has been carried over to the City. The new vehicle also gets the smaller saloon's gearbox, though it's a six-speed here. Honda claims that the new City i-DTEC will be the most fuel-efficient car in the country, with a claimed fuel efficiency of 26kpl!

The petrol version of the car gets the same 1.5-litre i-VTEC motor as in the last-generation car although it has been slightly tweaked to improve power delivery at lower revs. The car is also available in CVT auto version as well, which should add to its market.

The diesel engine comes straight from Amaze but the engine is remarked as more refined and with no speed cut-off - the company claims the top speed of diesel to be 190kmps!!

There’s plenty of equipment on offer. The instruments for the driver are big and easy to read, rings around the dials glow blue or green (depending on your driving style), and the chunky steering wheel is a high point, with well damped switches for the music and telephony. The music system includes a CD player (along with DVD support) as well as Bluetooth and Aux-in. A five-inch screen is the interface for the music system, while the air-con system is operated via a touch panel. And of course, there's a sunroof as well.

But despite the equipment levels, the LCD display blends in a little too much with the dash and the air-con control panel and plastics on the dash take away from the consistency of design.
The new City looks good on the outside as well with the slim headlights and the familiar arrowhead front profile. It has more presence and looks bigger. At the rear, the tail-lamps are integrated slickly with the boot. While the car looks bigger and has more presence, it's no wider than the older one and is as easy to drive around in the city as ever.

As per HT, the car is supposedly to be priced around 8.3-11.6 Lakhs, which sounds very promising.

Honda City 2014 Edition Launched In Delhi

2014 Honda City | First Look Video Review | Autocar India

Youtube Rating: 4.9 out of 5 (101 ratings)
Statistics: 0 favorite(s); 5762 view(s)

The 2014 Honda City was unveiled to world in New Delhi on 25th Nov 2013. Here's out first look video review from the launch with Autocar India Editor Hormazd Sorabjee.

The new Honda City follows its ‘Exciting H’ design language which is to be carried over to other Honda models as well.

The front still retains the ‘arrow-head’ shape of the earlier car but has a more prominent grille, twin-barrel headlights and a sharper bumper.

The sides of the car have strong character lines running through the doors whilst the rear tail-lamps which extend into the boot lid of the car, accentuates the 1695mm width of the car. In fact, carmaker claims the new Honda City is the widest car in its class which is quite believable when you get into the car. Legroom is particularly spacious thanks to the increased wheelbase (up by 50mm to 2600mm) and the flat floor only adds to the sense of space and comfort. Rear seat passengers are further pampered with a rear air-con vent, a first on a City.More details on the new city here http://goo.gl/XRZGw9

Honda City Diesel Under Rs. 8 Lakhs Coming in 2014

Over the years, Honda Cars India has built a reputation of manufacturing vehicles that are high in terms of performance and comfort. The company has enjoyed a vast amount of success in the Indian car market particularly due to its City sedan. The car that is cherished by quite a few is one of the favourite mid-size sedans to feature in India. The hike in petrol prices have impacted the sales figures of Honda City since the car is not offered in a diesel version.

Now, the next-generation model is expected to replicate the success of older generation ones. As expected, the 2014 version of City shall make inroads in India powered by petrol and diesel units. Rumours are doing the rounds that the upcoming City would arrive in showrooms in India by January 2014, bearing a new shape and design. So as the launch date is nearing, car enthusiasts are getting all more excited about the design and features of upcoming Honda City.

The first and foremost exciting new addition in upcoming Honda City would be its availability in a diesel version. It was highly expected from the company as the ‘rapid dieseling’ of the Indian car market resulted in the plummeting of Honda City petrol sales. According to sources, the car would be offered with a 1.5-litre i-DTEC engine, which currently powers Amaze sedan but in differently tuned outputs. Apart from this, the 1.5-litre i-VTEC powertrain of City shall be offered with numerous advancements in order to give away superlative performance.

The other striking new feature of upcoming Honda City would be its new philosophy named as "EXCITING H DESIGN!!!". Under this, the three design factors, namely, High Technology, High Tension and High Touch represent the company’s aim to achieve a balanced body structure along with superior technology embedded in all of its vehicles. The new design concept was first seen in Fit model, which has already made its debut in major international markets. As reported, the upcoming Honda City is based on the same design platform.

On taking inspiration from the Fit model, the next generation Honda City would bear numerous designing changes as the front fascia will hold elongated wraparound clear lens headlamps along with projector lights and a sportier new grille. At the rear, new LED taillights along with running creases that will extend till the boot of the car are going to add to its styling.

Also to mention, the mileage figures for the upcoming petrol and diesel versions of Honda City are expected to be bit higher as compared to the current variants. Riding on the Earth Dreams Technology, the upcoming sedan of Honda shall give away best-in-class fuel efficiency as compared to its rivals.

Also the pricing might well work for Honda in its favour as reports are citing that the upcoming car cost significantly low. Industry experts are betting high that the base variant of Honda City petrol could cost around Rs. 7 lakh while the introductory diesel trim might get carry a price tag of Rs. 8 lakh. If this happens, then Honda would definitely have an edge over its rivals considering the kind of brand value the company has in India. In addition, Honda is likely to carry forward the good work done by Amaze sedan and the much acclaimed Earth Dreams diesel technology.

Grand, Spacious and now in diesel, its Hyundai Grand i10

Hyundai Motor India Limited launched its new hatchback Grand i10 in India at Rs. 4.30-5.48 lakh for the four petrol variants and Rs. 5.24-6.41 lakh for the four diesel variants.

The Grand i10 is a notch up from the successful but now-outdated i10. i10's sales have tapered in the last two years to below 100,000 units annually as it was adversely impacted by the shift in consumer demand towards more fuel efficient and smaller diesel cars.

When it goes on sale globally later this year, the Grand i10 would replace the existing i10, but in India both cars would continue to coexist.
The car has been touted as the buffer between the current i10 and the i20 — both in terms of price and specifications. But what makes the hatchback an Indian buyer’s delight? Its diesel variant.

The Grand i10 seemingly packs the punch that Hyundai has long needed to shake up the small car segment. It is available with a 1.2-litre Kappa petrol motor with higher tuning that develops 83 PS power and 116 NM torque. A 1.1-litre three-cylinder diesel variant — U2 — a derivative of the 4 cylinder 1.4 litre diesel motor that powers the more premium i20.

This motor belts out 71 PS power and 163 NM of torque. The diesel variant has come as a welcome announcement for those reeling under the burden of steeply increasing petrol prices. It has a rated fuel economy of 24 kmpl. The petrol variant delivers a fuel economy of 18.9 kmpl.

India’s second largest car manufacturer, Hyundai Motor India Limited has evidently made the move to challenge the supremacy of Maruti Suzuki in the Indian car market.

The hatchback adopts the international ‘fluidic’ design that is also present in the small cars i20 and Eon and sedans Verna, Elantra and Sonata.

However, the fluidic design is more understated here, possibly to differentiate it with the i20. Some of the features of the Grand i10 include rear air conditioning vents and 1 GB internal memory in the music system that does away with the need for a USB stick or compact disc. It also has push start ignition, a feature absent in the bestselling Maruti Swift.

A more spacious i10 with a diesel variant — sounds like a deadly combination, doesn’t it? The only concern would be the car cannibalising stablemates i10 and i20, something Hyundai would try to avoid as much as possible. But if all goes as planned for the Korean auto giant, this combo could end up delivering the knockout punch to other hatchbacks in the country and grab the best-selling tag.
