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
Maruti Suzuki FRONX
- Attractive styling: Looks muscular, but also sporty with its sloping roofline.
- Spacious and practical cabin: Good storage spaces and space for four adults.
- Multiple powertrains: Offer a choice between smooth and exciting petrol engines.
- Covers the basics: Keyless entry, climate control, steering mounted controls, and cruise control.
- Plush ride: Good comfort over regular, bad or even rough roads.
- 190mm ground clearance boosts confidence in new drivers.
- Easy to drive in the city and stable at high speeds.

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
Maruti Suzuki FRONX
- Rear seat headroom: Sloping roofline limits space for tall passengers.
- No diesel engine option — available with Venue, Nexon and Sonet.
- Misses out on a few feel-good features: sunroof, leatherette upholstery, ventilated seats.
