2014 Honda City review - UAE Car Review by Motopedia.ae
Upgrade in its exterior, upgraded in its interior and fun to drive everywhere. We're talking about the 2014 Honda City!
The 2014 City has been aggressively redesigned for much sharper edges and much more aggressive look overall. The 2014 is a little bit bigger than the older models and is definitely more stylish than any previous models. Honda calls the design "arrow-like" and we'd have to agree.
There's a reason its called the "City". It's 1.5 liter CVT will produce 118 horsepower which is nippy enough to get around the UAE's interior roads. Highway driving needs greater power of course, but it will still perform reasonably well. When you first press on that accelerator, the power is quick to come and smooth making this a lovely drive around town. The smaller engine is also very fuel efficient giving roughly 5.7l/100km, making it easy on the pocket.
The City's interior is basic but slightly boring specially in the center console. Truth be said, the Koreans probably lead the way in providing striking interiors for low prices, so the City owners may feel slightly overcharged for what they get. Its time Japanese brands move beyond their reliability and start offering customers more for their money we say!
The car is surprisingly spacious for its size and will seat 4 adults very comfortably. Rear legroom is one of the best in class, and the ride is firm but smooth. There are rear aircon vents as well for the summer days, and there are some steering wheel controls depending on the trim.
The City has its place in the busy compact segment with its exciting looks but it needs to work harder under the hood and inside to move customers who might be tempted by Korean and American offerings.
