The City facelift carries over its naturally aspirated petrol and strong-hybrid engines from the predecessor. Compared to the Verna’s naturally aspirated petrol mill, it delivers more power and torque figures. Except the City, all three other sedans are offered with turbo-petrol engines, among which, the Verna delivers the highest power outputs. Notably, the City has the distinction of a segment-only 126hp/253Nm 1.5-litre strong-hybrid engine paired to an e-CVT.

Compared to its rivals, the Honda City has the highest starting price at Rs 12 lakh. The Slavia is the most affordable, costing under Rs 10 lakh. Top-end petrol-CVT versions of the City and Verna are priced identically. In turbo-petrol guise, the Volkswagen Virtus is the priciest. But considering all powertrain options, the City strong-hybrid is the most expensive in the segment.

390 Duke or Interceptor 650: Best bike for casual riding under Rs 4 lakh?

-
Image
Looking for advice on which new bike to purchase. Few things to note - Budget is INR 3-4 Lakhs. It will not be my primary mode of transport as I mostly use my car. The bike will be used 60-70 percent for Sunday morning rides, 10-20 percent touring and 10-20 percent maybe the odd office commute or coffee run. Prefer comfortable upright ergonomics. Do let me know if you need any further info from my end. Thanks in advance for your help! Rahul Khurana, New Delhi Autocar India says: You haven’t mentioned whether the bike you are looking for is meant to be sporty and exciting or calm and relaxed in nature, so we’ll share a few options at both ends of that spectrum. Since this is going to be a casual use motorcycle we’ll keep things like fuel efficiency as a low priority but all options mentioned here will have upright ergonomics. At the sporty end, there’s no beating the new Gen 3 KTM 390 Duke which offers the strongest performance available at this price as well as outstanding handl...
