Pros | Cons |
20+ km/l fuel economy in city driving conditions, giving it lower running costs than a diesel! | Honda City Diesel will give you comparable running costs at a far lower price |
Seamless Hybrid system that makes driving a breeze. A car you will enjoy driving in traffic | Honda Sensing ADAS system is too intrusive for Indian highways; requires the driver to adapt to it and be comfortable using it |
Tractable power unit that delivers performance on par with internal combustion counterparts | Missing features for this price point = powered seats with ventilation, rear side sunblinds, wireless charging… |
Loaded with safety tech such as ‘Honda Sensing’ consisting of lane keeping assist, lane departure mitigation, adaptive cruise control, auto high beam, collision mitigation braking system as well as ESP, 6 airbags, and a lane watch camera | We’re worried about the price. Honda is usually optimistic with pricing, and there is no lower variant without the ADAS features |

Pros | Cons |
Comfortable even over bad roads. | The premium experience was let down by quality issues like poorly fitting panels, mushy switches, and flimsy stalks. |
Feels premium because of class-leading safety and convenience features. | Small boots will be a hassle if it’s the only car in the family. |
Stable and fun to drive because of the steering and good grip. | Cramped footwell, no space for a dead pedal for the driver |
Overtaking on highways is easy, thanks to a punchy diesel engine. | Not the most spacious or comfortable backseat in the class |

Pros | Cons |
Understated and classy styling | Rear seat space is good but some may expect a roomier experience for the price |
Rich interior quality. Feels very upmarket | Boot space could’ve been more generous |
Good features list – 10.1-inch touchscreen, digital instrument cluster, etc. | EV charging infrastructure is inconsistent. Home/work charging and the portable charger will be more dependable than public charging |
Realistically achievable range of 300-350km on a full charge | Some ergonomic flaws – lumbar cushioning feels excessive, front armrest may be too tall for the short drivers |

The slightly wider second row can easily seat three adults with ample room overall. | The Harrier’s low-speed ride quality feels stiff at best. |
Strong performance owing to the more-than-adequate grunt; both inside and outside the city. | The manual gearbox is notchy and can do with a slicker shifting mechanism. |

Gets a substantial styling overhaul that enhances its already imposing stance. | |
