Honda City petrol vs City diesel comparison

Honda City is the highest selling premium sedan in India and one of the most common question everyone asks is, if they should buy the Honda City petrol or Honda city diesel? All depends on your driving cycle and with the Honda City, it depends on why are you buying the City. Generally, we pick up the City because it is a more premium car, our thought is that it has a better badge value and as the belief goes you cannot go wrong when you buy a City. So, now we will guide you on which engine should you pick on the Honda City.

If you are driving yourself?

If you will be driving yourself and it is majorly in city, then the City petrol automatic will be your pick. If your driving is more than 1500kms (50kms a day) in a month, then only you should consider the diesel engine.

If you are chauffeur driven?

Pick a manual, and not automatic then.

Which is a better engine?

Else, the petrol is the ideal fit.

One downside of the City diesel is the engine noise, which is loud in the cabin itself. This doesn’t sound pleasant. There are other premium diesel sedans that are a lot more quiet than the City diesel. Hence, our suggestion will be to go for the City petrol unless you have monthly driving of more than 1500-2000kms. Both the engines are powerful, however the petrol is a lot more refined.
