| ![]() The King is back and what a way to do it. Excellent pricing by Honda. I just hope they stick to these prices for sometime now and not just end up making these introductory prices like many other car makers. Foreseeing a lot of Honda citys on the road again. |

Infractions: 0/1 (5) | ![]() Must say that its a very good pricing !!! Kudos to Honda for that. This looks killer for Vento, Sunny & specially for Verna. I am sure it will sell like hot cakes. Hope Honda will not increase prices in near future. Base 2 variants of petrol are really well priced which will get them large volumes for sure. I like the SMT model the most. It will be most VFM model with most of the necessary features including the safety features. Considering ongoing hikes in diesel prices, i am sure Honda will get good business for petrol models also. But why petrol model is immediately not available? This is really bad strategy Honda. People should not be kept waiting for it. Seeing this pricing, i am eagerly waiting for upcoming Jazz now. Hope it will be 1-1.2 Lacs cheaper than this. If it really is, then it will also sell in great volumes. Now Honda needs to back up their sales by manufacturing more & more cars. Cant keep producing limited cars. You just cant keep people waiting for months for their favorite car. Come on Honda, go for it, go for the KILL ![]() Last edited by aniketi : 7th January 2014 at 14:32. |

The additional features in the VX are largely a waste, such as the sunroof which is not of much use in Indian conditions. The SV spec is underwhelming, without even integrated ICE. City V CVT @ 9.99L would have largely matched Vento TSI on features at the same price, which would have made it a straight contest between TSI+DSG versus CVT+better service/reliability. If the VX had additional airbags it would have been truly worth it. But Honda has neatly side-stepped the task of developing a supply chain for side and curtain airbags. Honda probably does not find it cost effective to develop such a supply chain for small volumes. Note that Hyundai and Ford export cars from India, and they need to have these in place for their export models, which is probably why one finds even sub-10L Hyundai and Ford models offering variants with 6 airbags. At current prices, I for one would prefer the Vento TSI over City VX CVT. Its a straight saving of ~ 1.7L OTR in TN (given the 15% slab for the City VX CVT) which can provide a good buffer against any reliability issues with the Vento's gearbox. And one gets to experience the technically advanced TSI+DSG combo as well. | |

| ![]() ACI has done a comparo between City VX CVT and Vento TSI, (though they have the pricing wrong of the City VX CVT model) http://www.autocarindia.com/auto-fea...-368657.aspx/1 |

| ![]() Excellent Pricing I would say. I believe the waiting periods will shoot now on. Most affected cars will be Eco-Sport, New Fiesta and Verna. |

Features i can not buy - turn indicator on ORVM, Electrically foldable ORVM, 1 accessory socket instead of 3, speed volume compensation (SVC), Keyless trunk opening, front fog lamp I think it is not worth paying 2 lacs more (on road considering extra tax in bangalore for >10lac cars) for the features i need. I may opt for SV CVT. I will be delighted if they offered V CVT as a variant. Last edited by ambadan : 7th January 2014 at 14:36. | ||

| ![]() Excellent pricing by Honda & sleepless nights to Verna & Vento. Get ready to see waiting periods on yet another product in a market which is struggling to get out of economic slowdown (atleast till their new facility is up & running) I wish they would have provided passenger airbag from the base variant itself. |
