How an existing Honda CITY customer feels about ELEVATE 

Had a Great time talking to you sir Looking forward to meet you soon Thanks ❤ for inviting 🫂 Guys my source was teambhp for the weight its actually 1350kg for Astor , Keep supporting sir to make a phenomenal Community for us Car Guys🙏🫂

I have City Hybrid. Whatever you are saying, happened with me as well. They pushed me to get Elevate. I never thought about that. I think under 22 lakhs it is very good. There service is on time and very pertinent. They re-aligned my tires after 5000km. All-in-all, I am satisfied.

Overall its the best family car with great performance. Never experienced any issues in my Honda City. I have been using this car for long drives to Goa and Mumbai. The service is much better than any other brand and its much cheaper than a Maruti ❤

Honestly one of the best guests on any automobile show!

Harsh gave very good feedback..about car & how honda can improve..hope any honda person watching this video

It's a great car. Took a test drive over the weekend. Love it. They should make 6 airbags standard. I don't want sunroof but for 6 airbags I have to buy a variant with sunroof

I bought 4th gen city in starting 2023, wonder full car & best ac, old school reliable fun to drive NA engine, & ergonomic wise they just nailed it, very thought full & practical, I also test drive the slavia, very good car, just dropped it because off less effective ac, even today I will buy slavia if the ac prob solved.

V model is more value for money

I can recon with all what is said about Honda in this video. Excellent purchase experience, everything he said was same for me while buying City in 2017 from Vidhata. Also Honda City is near to perfect in 12L, only -ves I have experienced is their below average infotainment system which got corrupted automatically after 5 years, poor camera quality and horn. Except this everything about Honda City shines, even they have lesser service charges than a Maruti.

It’s a nicely done customer review … compared to other videos, I found the host very warm in his interaction with his guest Harsh.

Very helpful. But elevate ki review kab aane wali hai paaji ? Eagerly waiting.

Very nice video as always 👍

Booked Nexon Fearless + in September. After lot of beating around the bushes, bought home the New CIty ZX MT recently for a good discount. Reason for dropping from SUVs: mom felt uncomfortable while getting inside Nexon or any other SUV.

Genuine review.. informative ❤

What a elegance of a review ❤

Nissan Sunny was one with a damn good build and solidity. Muscular ,long and subtle . Japanese makers ko abhi bhi competition se bahar karna is really tough .

Honda should really give more importance in the Indian market....We really love honda cars

Hi sir, I would like to share my experience wrt the video, driving pre-facelift City 5th gen VMT petrol since Sep ‘22 and 27k kms done. 1:11 Except finance manager’s rude behaviour, executives were helpful in all aspects. Our delivery experience involved one soan papdi packet, congrats bgm, photo clicks and executives clapping for a few seconds. 4:19 We didn’t receive any survey call from Honda. 6:27 Agree with Harsh on the 1st 2 negatives, in addition, less mileage (7-9) in heavy traffic with AC and ceiling rattling noise which is fixed by ASC temporarily during regular service (needs 3-4 days to be fixed permanently). 8:22 Currently driving with company fitted horn, didn’t like it since day 1, already replaced once under warranty so will change it after warranty expires.

Nice vedio veerji❤

Beautiful review sir👍🏻👍🏻indeed Honda city is a premium car they should focus on minor defects they have to make it top notch and focus on Adv.

Honda for many small Car owner is a Dream Car to own in life. You just cannot beat HONDA'S Engine RELIABILITY, Rear Seat Comfort, Trust, Confidence & Services in India. Its a Tried, Tested, Experienced & Proven Car. Always the 1st Choice & undoubtedly the Best Executive Car of our country. It might take years for VW-Skoda to build Trust, Confidence & Reliability among Indian Customers because of their past history of Royally Milking Customers Unethically.

I also bought honda city v in dec, loved it

Honda make a product and forget it. Even in two wheelers. They only promote Activa and Shine.

Yes indeed Honda is lacking in advertisement. Am buying my dream car , the City this Gudi paadva. You cannot compare it with any other,. It's a legend

Atkinson cycle se how does Elevate become underpowered? Ideally, Atkinson cycle Elevate could've been priced at about 50-70K premium on top of the city hybrid. But this will still be on par with the Top end GV, Hyryder, Seltos... I think the sole reason for their not bringing the hybrid to Elevate is R&D + investment + supply issues with the hybrid tech.

At least honda has good driving, good build quality, space , reliability, decent features, decent styling as compared to koreans where they gain only features and generic styling. Sure it is known for having more features but It won't be useful for after 6 to 7 months

City is good bro, I would suggest drive altis, you will love it, unfortunately it's obsolete now

Im driving city diesel 4 10 years , still its ac is soo chill, one of the best in segment

Hello good afternoon Sir my vento diesel 1.6 L first injector was damaged I request to please guide me any local repair shop in patiala because Volkswagen said that it cost me around 30k.

Sunder ji...if u had to buy a car n options were grand vitara pure hybrid n seltos turbo which would you buy n why considering as a best overall package...plz reply...

[27/11, 19:22] Jitendra Mishra: Subject :- Regarding my Car Vento TSI still not running. The point wise details under the above topic are as follows- 1. I have Volkswagen's Vento 1.2 TSI petrol car, which has DSG Gear box. This is a 2017 model and has covered only 26000 kms so far. 2. Was parked in the parking lot last July 2023. The entire tire was submerged in the flood water and the inside of the car was also filled with water. 3. Due to this the gear lever was not shifting from P mode. P was flashing in the dashboard. 4. The car kept drying in the sun for 15 to 20 days. 5. Even car was starting well. The original sound was coming like a new car. Engine was perfect. 6. After watching a video on RU-vid - "Factory reset DSG gear box in minutes", I did the following while standing - (a) Sitting inside the car. (b) Locked the doors. (c) Put the key in the ignition and turn it to accessory position. Waited for 15 seconds. (d) Now pressed the gas pedal and kept it pressed for 30 seconds. (e) After this, switched it off and took out the key. (f) Took the foot off the gas pedal. (g) Now waited for 3 minutes. (h) After this the car was started. 7. After doing the above steps and starting the car, a loud noise came from below. The engine sound started getting louder and the RPM also increased slightly. 8. After this another incident happened. To take the car to the Service Centre, open the cover of the gear lever, press the yellow button and put it in Neutral in the Emergency programme. 9. During this emergency program, the lever shifted to Reverse (R) due to which the whole car shocked and there was a loud rattling sound came from below. 10. In the company's Bhopal service center, the entire system below gear lever was only found to be damaged due to waterlogging, which was replaced with a brand new one. [27/11, 19:36] Jitendra Mishra: 11. Service center people said that flywheel and clutch plate will also be changed but I Refused because the car had driven only 26000 KM. The center wanted to increase the estimate. I felt that way. 12. After having cleaned the rust/dust and clean the fly wheel with chemicals, gear box fitted back. 13. Brought home 300 KM from Bhopal while driving the car. On the front left side of the car, intermittent gurgling sounds and shocks kept coming. 14. Now there are vibrations in the engine when the car is started. The sound is also getting louder. Although RPM is normal. 15. When driving on the road, intermittent whirring sounds start coming from the front left side and jerks are felt intermittently. Gears fit properly and do not slip. Please tell what could be wrong with the car? What should I do now? I have already spent Rs 1,50,000 in VW service center but the situation is same. Car is not able to move on the road.

Sunder paaji, I got my Virtus gt plus dsg with new features finally after 2.5 months of wait. Exchanged my city 5th gen zx cvt

King of sedans the legendary honda city 🙏🏽🙏🏽👑👑👑

Ha ha. Really loved review. Keep posting 👌

From where you got the alloys

Astor also has the 1.3 L turbo petrol + TC combo. Unfortunately, its tuned very badly. The car only revs to 4-4.5K rpm on flooring the pedal, no sports mode, no paddle shifters.

is this a base variant ?? the one you are driving

It could be just about showroom.. gurgaon delhi me koi nai aaega dikhane , I went last week he din have time to tell the prices.😊 Survey questions (50+) are asked from VW also, n how is the car n so on.

Honda and Hyundai came around the same time in India but where Hyundai succeeded was that they always tend to customers demand and provide the car accordingly. Honda on the other hand says this is what we feel good for you and u should either buy it or leave it. Also, Honda needs to expand their sales and service network. I have 3 Hyundai showrooms near me while Honda has 1 which isn't functioning properly.

Pajji mene bhi 2 month pahel honda city base model (sv) ki delivery li he merko bhi honda city ke jo upper model me alloys wheels aate he wo lagvne he to app merko kitna ke aayngeee wo bata skate he please

Hi, what would you choose between City ZX vs Slavia MY24 1.0 Style (both top varients). I am leaning towards Slavia because of better stock audio setup (with subwoofer) and better screen, better NVH levels, better looks, better build, also better tyres as well. Plus it also gets electric seats, not that it matters too much

I saw podcast of gagan n vikas Bhai icn studio abt dsg gearbox.... After seeing Im worried abt dsg gearbox. They said spefically for skoda... After thinking I also thgt it's correct.... What is ur opinion

Gifted my DAD Honda CITY V mt in december 2022 at 11.5L ex showroom. No- brainer in 12-14 lacs. period. This version is true Value for Money buy if ur budget is 12-14 lacs. NO OTHER CAR i repeat NO OTHER CAR provide you this much value for you 12-14 lacs. i would love to be corrected, if any other car offer the same in this price. This Base avariant came equipped with : - 5-star in ASEAN NCAP (32.98 / 36 in adult occupant protection. Overall 86.5/100 - 4 airbags ( 2 front + 2 side ) - Advanced Compatibility Engineering ( ACE ) Body structure - Electronic Stability Control ESC - ABS - EBD (electronic brakefroce distribution) & BA (Brake Assist) - VSA (Vehicle Stability Assist) - Agile Handling Assist AHA - Traction Control - Hill Start Assist - Tyre pressure monitoring system - Honda Connect features ( incl geo-fencing and speed limiter and voice commands) - Now city 2023 comes with ADAS too with adaptive cruise control Other convenience features include: - ISOFIX - All 5 Head Restraints and 5 seat belts - Rear Camera with guidelines (3 viewing angles) - Cruise Control with steering controls - Tilt & telescopic Steering adjust - Seat height Adjustable feature - Honda smart key system - Push start/stop button - Electrically adjustable+foldable Rear view mirros - Front one touch up-down windows - Steering mounted controls ( Media+Cruise+Alexa) - 20cm Touchscreen - Android Auto + Apple Carplay + Weblink compatible - Physical AC knobs with Click feel + Red/Blue lighting (love it) - old school Conventional tacho + speedo with needle sweep (love it) - grab handles with soft closures Design n styling: - Spoke styled Alloy Wheels - LED DRLs with Projectors (lowbeam) - Fog Lamps - Z Shaped wraparound Tail lamps (looks awesome) - shark fin antenna - Head turning looks with aero design - Class leading rear legroom and seat comfort All that is offered with iVTEC engine providing Great refinement and even greater reliabilty. Even hyundai verna/creta doesnt offer this long list of features. no car is a perfect car, City has its cons too as compared to rivals. some of them are: - lack of turbo engine ( But its not that much of a con as iVTEC NA engine has its own +ves, it pulls upto 7500 rpms and has enough power for overtakes. but ivtec is hella reliable) - driving dynamics are good but not as great as germans. what u get is excellent engine, excellent looks, excellent features as said before, its a no brainer in 12-14 lacs, but if u have a budget of 15L+, do pick Germans with eyes closed as they offer Much greater VFM - better engines and driving dynamics with a solid built but they also have their cons of reliability and notorious transmission issues (if not operated well) + ac issues recently. Moreover, they lack some important safety, convenience and styling features in base variants like: - Only 2 airbags - No touchscreen - No Fog Lamps - No cruise control - No centre armrests ( not in both front and rear seats) - No rear ac vents - No DRLs - No Alloys, only steel rims - No projector headlamps - No rear view camera - No connected car tech - No ADAS - No Hill Assist - No driver vanity mirror - No push start button (though i find it a pro rather than a con) in higher trims of germans where most of these features are added, city will never get close to VAG 1.5 Tsi evo. period. But in base variants and in 12-13L price bracket, CITY V still remains the undisputed king offering a complete package (engine+features+looks) of near perfect car at this pricepoint. Sunder Ji, Sat sri akal. Saare sedans lovers nu mubarkaa. 2024 has started with a bang for all sedan lovers. exciting times ahead. I urge every buyer to do his own research about every variant and stick to the budget that is set by you. we as a customer should get the best for the money we are paying for.

I did go to Junagadh Gujarat showroom no test drive no follow back from start zero service. Hence went for skoda.

Honda anytime!!

Sir out of Creta,seltos,elevate which one is the best

Sirji, your pick honda elevate or skoda slavia 1.5?

Their x factor was adas from second base model, which they removed in elevate. Only top model has adas, so I canceled my booking.

I got elevate ZX MT, have driven 3500 kms... mileage at different speeds are 650 kms trip, speed 80 to 100 kmph... 18.3 kmpl 300 kms trip, speed 95 to 105 kmph .... 17.1 kmpl Ride & handling fantastic ..... perfect touring car !!! All ADAS features work perfect !!! Cars i tried before buying Elevate were Honda city Astor Hector Taigun Virtus Jeep compass XUV300 Scorpio N Ecosports Harrier..... But when i test drive Elevate, i made my decision in 10-15 minutes .... what a car!!!!

Isn’t it the Atkinson Cycle? In the hybrid.

What's the cost of alloy wheels ❓

Nice bro..Why Tata Nexon doesn't attract upper middle and high class people..Even Tata Harrier and safari also..lesser than Mahindra..reason?

Real litmus test of any car is resale value and skoda / Volkswagen miserably fails on this parameter alone .if there cars where so great why they don't have resale value ( launching new variants every two months only elevates this problem as used car prices fall further )

nxt vidio Verna non turbo ka kijiye bhai

I love this car

Well…whosoever told this guy about the weight of mg astor i have a correction, kerb weight of astor is 1300kg, The weight of vw taigun is 1260-1290kg as per the engine specs . Talking about the gross weight. Mg astor stands at 1650kgs. Which is similar to that of taigun. When it comes to safety, kerb weight is actually what matters as it is the weight of the frame/ structure of the vehicle without any internal load like plastics, electrical components etc. Also, when we talk about safety, it’s not always about how the car takes the impact. It also depends upon the car’s behaviour in xyz driving conditions like hard braking, acceleration, sudden steering manoeuver etc, other tech involved like brake disk drying, electronic differential lock etc, nose dive dynamics and balance of the vehicle during sudden braking etc. And in all those departments VW stands wayyy ahead of any other manufacturer be it tata, mg, Hyundai, honda or anyone else. Honda mg tata etc. They all are great but i feel that škoda and vw are a notch better than anyone else.

Sunderdeep which will be your next car?

Mileage is important for even upper middle class families too.

Elevate will be a hit

Actually weight and boot capacity is never disclosed by MG in their brochure

On team bhp someone mentioned the kerb weight of Astor SHARP variant 1736 kg. 😲

Creta ke led is not upto mark dark areas mei creta led is nt adequate. Slavia and city’s lights may perform better

Last time you said prestige honda has unwelcoming policies. What has changed ?

Heyy noo, MG astor is around 1245 to 1345 kg , same as taigun. I think he he confused between astor and hector.

I agree with honda being poor in marketing. Elevate is best vfm in mid size suv segment. I have booked it and when i inform my near ones, very few are even aware about it.

Honda City 💕 i-vtec Engine most Reliable. Elevate 3yrs/ Unlimited km warranty Only Honda Given. Seden Segment Alive Only b,caz of City since 25 yrs.

It is not just about Ads. The City 4th Gen looked like a Lamborghini in the front, with sharp curves all over the body. It looked awesome. If they would have released it in bright red colour (like the Skoda MonteCarlo edition), then it would have sold like crazy. The City 5th Gen just looks boring.

Rightly said they absolutely lack marketing.. It feels like they are on the verge of exiting india

jetta ya passat ya ameo ya polo?

sir i have booked virtus ? kya mera decision sahi hai

City has a dated engine, very high nvh levels and low GC. Skoda and VW despite their deficiencies, offer much better products.

Dealer call customer frequently because they have very very less customers😂

How much for the Alloys man..?

Reverse Camera is Potatoe

I used honda city from 2015 now I change in 2023 june again purchase city v.

_Cabin Noise has entered the chat_

Why don't Honda bring 1.0 turbocharger engine in India ?

Landed first over here 🌚

SV doesn't get alloys how does his get one ?

i wud say Honda city has a decent horn made for decent ppl .. not those chapri hyundai horns .. & here in my city .. ppl do notice my horn & react & those who don't r not gonna react anyway

Mileage is not good

Bhai Know the difference..Aapne city kharidi thi to aapko itna acha feel krwaya..Creta li to bass photo chaabi..Bhai Creta Muh maangke bikti hai gaadi..Mai ye ni ke rha city se badiya gaadi hai ya kuch..No..But the difference is ki honda city ki 2023 mai sales specially verna aane ke baad bahut ghat gayi hai..It is the least selling car in it's segment..and Elevate aane ke baad to aur sales gir gayi hai..

1600 kg 😅.

Because people doesn't know the difference between the inline 4 and inline 3 and they also doesn't know what is the quality of the products used inside the car... Honda if you look from a make sense perspective honda cars makes sense

Not poor marketing, its poor built quality & charging exorbitant amt for services compared to competitors

NO non-sense car, but what really is worrisome is the ground clearance!

V is one of most value for money model in industry, industry over here means hatchs, cross over/beefed up hatches (so called SUV). Man what will you do of 200mm GC, you ride it in city and highway not in off-road. Activa, Bullet offer same 160-165 GC and people ride 'em in city, Ladakh, village every where.

Praise from staff....is important??! Seriously Pathetic The ego of our people. They had a good laugh in the cafeteria..looking at you thrill... They got their commission!!

All good but it’s not a JDM. Don’t throw words around without knowing what it really means.

In 2023 no car journalist should be kind to a car that costs more than 12 lakh and doesnt provide "Cruise Control" and shame on those manufacturer which instead provides useless sunroof instead of this very useful cruise control. It reduces driver fatigue, helps in maintaining legal speeds, eliminates speed challans, Increases fuel efficiency, reduces wear & tear in long run and makes roads safer for driver & other road users. A cruise control module cost merely ₹17k. XUV700 despite costing a bomb & having waiting period of more than a newly conceived child carelessly skips this feature, wow! what a cheap move M&M. Now Honda Elevate has joined the cheap with xuv700 what a shame.

Nowadays JDM term is being used nonsensically for any car that has a Japanese parent company. JDM purely means a car which was designed solely for Japanese Domestic market and later that was imported to other countries either by CBU or assembly. City is nothing like a JDM car. Old Civic was kind of a JDM. And city is a tin can with a gem of an engine. People buy it for the interiors and ability to withstand abuse. Thats all

Astor is 1500kg

😂🎉🎉😂🎉😂🎉😂🎉😂

I have Honda City v variant in August 2023. The behaviour of the staff amazing. I must say Honda is the only car which is value for money bcs they are providing adas in just 13.5 lakh ..... So no brand is offering this high value features in this price point. I really love what Honda but they should focus on their advertisement strategies.

Honda bikes me v horn k same logic u logo ka..... Highness me upper model me dual horn dete hai... Elevate ka v suv hoke v issue hai... Hasi aati hai horn se mere dosto ko

👌♥️🥰💯💯🤗

Honda elevate cabin is narrow compare to competition They missed the trick The will need to upgrade 1.0 turbo and 1.5 turbo to compete with hyundai

rear side bekar bana diya he

Paaji Toyota aur Honda Wale Aisa kya karte hai Jo inke vehicle itne reliable hote hai

Skoda and Volkswagen cars are selling by launching new variants of same car almost every two months -- Honda never does such cheap gimmicks to sell car --- this only kills exisiting customer resale value .
