Honda City, a car that I didn't fully understand until I got a chance to enjoy the experience firsthand. The city was launched in 1981 and to this day is still being produced. So far we can see 7 generations of this car except an 8th gen. In Pakistan, we can find this car to be very famous in the sedan category, and it was a good car given how much you could get it for. The car is powered by a 1.3 liter (86 hp) and a 1.5 liter (100 hp) engine. These were D-series engines from Honda, but after the 4th gen Honda installed the L-series in the car, that's why we can find the 1.2-liter version in the newer models.
The 6th was just introduced in 2021 while in the international market, it was introduced in 2013. That's why you can still find older models available almost anywhere in Pakistan.
Overall, in simple words, I can confidentially say that this city was a big step up, is filled with improvements, and can be called an upgrade.
Finally, the city was included with airbags, as the older gens did not have them. The ride quality of the new Honda City is much soft and comfortable, however, it is stiff enough to ensure that it handles pretty well in different maneuvers. If we look at the interior it's quite good as we see good quality material and this time the steering wheels now come with multimedia controls. The car also comes with digital climate control and vents in the back for better A/C, cruise control, eco-mode, and push start in the 1.5 variants, MID is available in the dashboard, and we also get an LCD panel from Honda.
The fuel consumption of this car can be expected greater than 12 km/l in the 1.5 variant and more than 15 km/l in the 1.2 variant which is surprisingly good. These results vary from person to person as some have claimed to get 9 km/l in the 1.5 variant. Honda City has become popular enough, so you will not have a hard time finding parts, however, it won't be cheap due to inflation and where the parts come from. so we can safely say this is a decent mid-range sedan that includes all the necessary accessories you will need.
The car was first launched at around 25 lac + however the price now follows as
city 1.2 ranges from 47 to 50 lac
city 1.5 ranges from 55 to 60 lac
this was all due to the increase of dollar value and inflation in Pakistan.
