Pros & Cons

Pros
Cons

Honda City
- Front end looks sporty and modern with sleek lighting elements and a sharp design
- Offers excellent ride comfort on bad roads while maintaining a planted feeling at high speeds
- Gets refined engine options and a great real-world fuel efficiency with the strong hybrid setup
- Comes with good daily use features and does not leave you wanting for more
Honda Elevate
- Sophisticated design: Simple design language that looks traditional, offers a good road presence, and will surely age well
- Classy interiors: Materials used are high on quality and cabin offers good practicality
- Spacious cabin: Ample legroom and headroom for rear seat occupants
- Best in class boot space: Can easily store an entire suitcase set with space to spare

Honda City
- Headroom in both the front and the rear seats is limited and tall people will struggle
- New features like the 10.1-inch touchscreen and the 360-degree camera feel like last minute thought and need better executions
- The petrol engine gets loud under load due to poor cabin insulation and acceleration also takes time with the CVT
Honda Elevate
- Limited powertrains: No diesel or Hybrid options which the rivals offer
- Lacks a few features versus rivals: panoramic sunroof, front seat ventilation, 360-degree camera
