Honda City vs Skoda Slavia: Ride, Handling & Performance Compared
Вставка
- Опубліковано 27 бер 2022
- By popular demand we have two sedans battling it out in today’s test - the Skoda Slavia and the Honda City. The Saliva is coming off the back of a draw against its sibling, the Kushaq. But now it’s time to take on the champion of our cornering test, the City. Some points to keep in mind are that the City we have today is the CVT Petrol while the City Diesel manual was the car that initially impressed around the corner. Also the Slavia that we pitched against the Kushaq was the 1.5 TSI while today we have the 1.0 TSI automatic which is the better match to the City, both in terms of price and performance. Will the smaller engined Slavia fare better around the corner? Will the larger engined City run away from the baby Slavia? We certainly found out.

OOO yeahhhh... I knew you would do this ❤️ tnx for the comparo
Just a suggestion - For acceleration, compare their manuals, not the automatics for a proper comparison. As everyone knows the CVT is significantly slower.
@Karthik wait, City RS is about to come in India |🇮🇳
@Karthik : No, it will be 1.5 Hybrid
Very true. Autocar India got 10.20 s (if I remember correctly) to 100 kmph for the City.
@@comedyduniya7587 thats slavia rs not city rs🤣🤣
@Mandeep Singh city also has RS
version
If I'm not wrong..the speedo is showing 59 kmph in the 70km corner part in slavia
..
yep 2:13
you are right man
ur rite
It was probably shot as a b-roll. Otherwise who would do a corner test while talking to the camera. I could be wrong though.
Bol bol ke sabko scheme batade
The comparison we have all been waiting for!
Edit: Just watched it. I understand that you are only comparing the dynamics, but seriously this comparison felt incomplete. You can't talk about sedans without discussing back seat comfort, amenities, driver comfort etc.
True 👍
Test drove today and it's better in Slavia
I also test drove.. I find it better in City 🤷♂️
I booked city today over slavia ! Slavia didn't give comfort vibe
Your channel is understanding the audience pulse
hi .. thanks a lot for the video .. are you guys planning to do the handling test for VW Virtus as well ?
Since you mentioned Diesel did well with extra weight, did you try Slavia or Virtus with both 1.0 and 1.5 for the cornering test and noticed any differences?
1. How come Slavia bottom out where City doesn't ?
Keeping rocking budssssss!
Testing on public roads ...you guys are badass 😎
Closed roads.
2:16 Says "70Kmph", the dash shows "60Kmph"! WTF -_-
You shouldve taken the ivtec manual instead of diesel/cvt
Yes that has better 0-100 numbers for sure
Sir maine ola book Kiya he full payment 17 March ko mera frnd ko kuch bi problem nahi huva he but tweeter me bahuth complaint submit hora he heating isue service ye sab.hills me gaadi uper nahi chal nahi Rahi kya me cancel Karu ola or wait Karu gaadi aanetak?
And no marks for the fuel efficiency? That too a better fuel efficiency from a bigger engine? What's the point in downsizing the capacity if it ultimately leads to poor fuel efficiency?
actually the video lacked the usual zigwheels energy and felt more artificial when compared to the older videos
Tushar and Arun are in a class of their own.
Yeah. It felt like they wanted slavia to win

Now it would be changed to Slavia and Virtus 🤫😆
Yeah😂😂

More comfort ride in honda city or skoda slavia?
Nice vedio Alan
Honda for Refinement, Skoda for finest performance...
city vtec is faster than slavia 1.0 tsi which is in same price range
@@Moonlight-hq3gi not really.
@Barbeque yes it is
city has better timings than 1.0 tsi slavia
only the 1.5 tsi slavia is better
@@vivs005 If car need additional boost then how come it is better?
Can you please suggest me which one should I buy. Bit confused. Please suggest me among...Slavia 1lt , Honda city petrol/diesl, VW Tiagun 1lt, vw Virtus 1lt. I heard that Honda city diesel generates noise in cabin. I travel Max 200km on average per month. Please suggest. Thank You.
Never buy a diesel from Honda. They are known for petrol. Honda has the shittiest diesel engines ever. Go for slavia/virtus if you need a safer car. City is not as better built as slavia
Honda City is all an all rounder and very reliable.
And please make video on Slavia 1.5 and 1 ltr manual 0 to 💯
So now that you've managed to show people that Slavia Wins (althought it was forcefully made a winner by you guys), why don't you show the price difference between the city and the slavia ?
Cornering test was a scam look at the speedometer, slavia hit the cone at 59kmph
6:51 & 6:55 first the prices of the cars compared.
@@shri1897 hi Shri Ram, as I've mentioned in replies to other coments, driving at 70kmph and talking to the camera isn't practical or safe. So this was shot post the test at slower speeds for the safety of my camera guy in the rear seat. The slow motion shots are the real test run shots which were done at 65kmph and 70kmph for both cars.
I 2
slavia with 179mm was bottoming out and city with just 165mm didn’t …..thats very strange, can anyone explain why so?
🤷🏻♂️
I think it has small tyres 185 mm compared to 205 mm of slavia.
Only explanation would be that they were overconfident with Slavia and went a bit faster. After-all, 13 mm barely 1.2 inches. With city, they probably were careful about low ground clearance and went slow or maybe at an angle.
Sedan dominance started ❤️
I was waiting for a City-Slavia comparo. But this video honestly felt half baked and incomplete. Please do a more detailed comparo in your usual zigwheels style with that energy
Sedans 😃♥️
How do we know that the drivers are unbiasef
@Arunachalam Jayaraman what
What do you mean.
@Varun Tomer
are you replying to Arunachalam or to me
@@Moonlight-hq3gi I am replying to you .
Slavia looks so gorgeous!
i have a doubt does honda city 5th gen comes with ZXI CVT in diesel variant ? i dont thing so only Petrol engine comes with CVT , disel only with manuals , please do correct the statement on the video
no diesel cvt
here they said diesel city was tested last time
and now they are testing petrol cvt
@@Moonlight-hq3gi no 5gen honda city don't have disel CVT.
Even though people complain about the GC of City, it’s enough. I took mine to East Sikkim and drove through slush, rocks and even snow. It didn’t scrape the underbelly and the ride was quite comfortable! Have made a video on my channel. Do check out!
Channel name?
@@ManandMachhine click on my username :)
Missed the video of the water drop test. Awesome comparo though.
A heavier car having shorter braking distance,thats awesome..Good job skoda👍
L
That’s going to invite rear collision also without emergency brake lights.
🫡
Next time make a video of hatchback vs 4m suv or sedans
In this heat I would always prefer Slavia with cooler seats
I expected more detailed comparison sir. This looked forced to give Slavia an edge.
Not upto old video standards.
I have old swift and I am happy with it.
Modern cars are so expensive
Skoda is more fun to drive but Nothing can defeat the reliability of Honda City.
Whatever, both car has created a benchmark in various categories. Very nominal diffrence(19-20) between both the car. The only comparison should be done in design category. And I prefer that city's 9 array LED light and Z shaped tale-light over Slavia's light. Particularly, in night, Honda City looks mesmerizing killing.
Nice unique comparison video. 👌🏻
Superstar Rajinikanth reference 🥰
Compare top end versions of both cars
I own a City automatic and took the test drive of Slavia. The City beats Slavia in every way. Take a test drive of both vehicles and will experience the awesomeness of the City.
For the first time someone is praising CVT over DSG 🤔
@@comedyduniya7587 his name suits him "Troll" baba. troll kar raha hai wo
@@comedyduniya7587 thing is with slavia it's a torque game which is unnecessary! Had a test drive in both the cars . Skoda had 999cc where as slavia has 1.5 liter naturally aspire engine ...... Not to talk about maintenance take a test drive in both the car and then decide
😂😂 Funny. Honda is making cars with cheap plastics and gearboxes are pathetic be it manual or automatic.
@@rajalakshmik6056 hahaha lol wake up brother! Not a successful car without a reason..... How much honda covers the market and how much does Skoda cover the market ???? Yeah, I thought so ....... Just take a test drive in both! Hope you don't ride an activa and make this comment and have an actual knowledge of the same
Companies like Apple and Honda never pays for ads to third party, their products speaks for themselves..so never rely on all these channels…test drive yourself and come to conclusion

I have akto K10 which is 10 years old..i can reach 100 in 3 rd gear and the acceleration is good and cornering is good..
Please compare them with the VW Virtus.
Not a fair test put 205 on honda city and see the change in understeering
Different permutations and combinations would be a great idea too! But also a fair comparison is testing the cars as new customers will buy them? Straight out of the showroom?
please include verna.. have to know how it goes through these test
dude verna does not even close to these 2 beasts... verna does not hv any character.. characterless kahi ki 😂😂 no offence.. verna diesel acceleration is God though
Verna and ciaz we can compare not with this beast
@2:17 Speed is 60KMPH in speedometer of slavia.
Yeah, i also just saw it. What does this mean?
@@deepakvashistha623 this means they stated testing Corning at speed of 70 kmph. But in reality figures are different.
@@TheDeepSinghal Yeah i get that. So this means they never drove it at 70kmph and just let slavia win to show it is better?
@@deepakvashistha623 cant comment on that.
Great spot of the very faint speedo numbers! Good catch. At 70kmph all my attention is focused on getting the corner right and handling any understeer/oversteer that creeps in. So the bits with me talking to the camera were shot at a slower speed after we finished the proper test runs, for safety of everyone involved and especially for the safety of my camera guy sitting in the back seat and the camera equipment rolling around with him. All the slow motion shots with the fixed camera angle are of the original runs at 65kmph and 70kmph.
Honda City 😍
Nice ⚡⚡
Does slavia has emergency stop signals?
na as u saw in this video but city does
Will a wider rubber on city clear the cones at 70Kmph?
Of course
ua-cam.com/video/1GIdSYybweA/v-deo.html. 4.30 to 6.00 enjoy the video ... Not the wider ruber but paid permition can do it ...
But kill the sophisticated gearbox and fuel efficiency image of city for sure🙂
@@risingbuddies588 I searched on internet about this. Yes, it seems a fact that wider tyre nay damage the gear box..
so, does it means that Slavia and all sub 4 meter SUVs have a better gearbox than Honda City ??
Its a cvt box and its not a good comparison. Talk about the reaale value and engine reliability terms on even note and then come to a conclusion. Dont just jump and end that one is better
Eagerly waiting for Autocars un-baised comparison of the both... Nice skoda sponsored video...👌🏼
skoda is sponsoring almost every video from Faisal khan to this
yeah
vw skoda fankids can't accept the truth
🤣🤣🤣
honda city handled better despite having skinny tyres and basic suspension
while slavia with better suspension and better tyres handled worse
lots of roll also for the localized German
😂😂😂
@kill3rbyysight
true
skoda VW 2.0 Plan
sponsoring channels
🤣🤣🤣
fasial khan said slavia will handle better than city
while it doesn't 😂😂😂
@@Moonlight-hq3gi o buddy i think u didn't driven slavia yet the game is yet over accept it cvt guys 🤣😂 u guys are baby just grow up!
😂😂 Poor Old Gen Honda fans
Proud owner of both the cars slavia 1.0 and city 5th gen 1.5 vtec
Which one you like more?
For the lower trims, city gets much vfm than the 1L slavia option. Slavia will be best for higher trims
I would buy Slavia if it was about 17.5-18 lakh Max on road. The 3.3 lakh premium it asks over City Petrol top model doesn't feel justified.
Hard plastic all over. Skoda even do cost cutting with their iconic horn now 😐🤦🏼
the 1 litre varient of the slavia is 40k more than the city and more value for money. If you're talking about the 1.5 slavia then that is supposed to be a niche performance varient.
@@gautamparmar3786 Yeah I was talking about 1.5 variant. If it were really targeted towards performance than Skoda should have given it a lower gc and more stiffer suspension. That Engine is being let down big time.
Rival to city is the 1 ltr Slavia. Technically there’s no rival to 1.5 ltr Slavia in the D segment sedans currently.
@@anishskaria until next week. New City hybrid is coming on April 14th with 253Nm instant torque from the electric engine. Let's wait n see how that City is priced.
@@gautamparmar3786 1ltr is not worth that much. Vibrations and turbo lag will be there. Always spend your money on a 4 cyl car ( turbo or naturally aspirated)
Both are one of the best sedans 💛💙
Funniest part is when they are trying to defame the other car. 3:43 as if they are the head of engineering of Honda or Skoda. The reality is the maximum they can do is just push the accelerator to the floor with whole force they have in the legs. Enjoyed when they fight on the torque or engine cc as if they have engineered it but the reality is they even dont know the mechanism behind to release the clutch . These kinds of channels have started from 2000's and they are now in uncountable numbers on youtube. Seeing their expressions made us feel that they are the god of Automobiles. Respect, You are the Automobile gods and no other people can own or dont understand what torque, handling or a car made up of. 🤣🤣..4:33, abey l*du chando , Atleast, try to talk properly. This is not 2006. It was unbearable for me to see these two and their expressions after 2 minutes. No offence to anyone, that was my observation.
Will see this video again if I feel nothing can be more worse in my life. Their expressions and wanna be a car enthusiast is the nastiest thing, have seen in recent time.
underrated comment. This half baked incomplete video which skipped sooooo many significant points really spoiled my mood. and yes the rise of these journalists is really nasty. they're people who studied english and learnt how to write columns in car magazines. that's all. this was a very bad video. thanks for your comment. I felt the same way. and it's not offensive. it's precise
my idea of a good car enthusiast on a big channel is Sirish Chandran from Evo India. and for bikes, Sagar Sheldekar (my opinion)
@@harshaokin8064 brother. No offence but I don't understand the concept of car reviews. It's the personal choice and one should test every pin of a car whether it's acceleration, handling, stability, safety or anything. If he is investing, he should test the car to full of its capabilities. Doesn't matter if it suits for him, maruti celerio is so much better than an Audi. Why don't we have reviews for a jeans or tshirt? Car reviews is a sheep walk as per me. Just my personal opinion. People are investing lakhs just believing on these so called nasty top car reviewers.I Hope you got my point.
Nobody will buy a celerio if has money to buy Audi. No offence to Celerio. As per me, You tube and the mobile phone camera is raising 1000's of wanna be car enthusiasts daily.
@@sanjay9649834127 Also they ignore so many factors which matter in long term ownership.
@@AKDEOThey think showing the other car shit will make them cool . it's year 2006 and month is March.
Whatever it may be.. i love city
city handled better even with skinny tyres and basic suspension
while slavia with better tyres and suspension didn't handle better
I think mileage must b compared in these times of daily price rise of petrol which is touching Rs110/ litre
CNG is auper success in Honda City
Slavia bottoming out ? That thing has a ground clearance of a suv !!
Following
Ground clearance has nothing to do with how the suspension is tuned
please 1.5L manual comparo..!!!
We look forward to see similar review between both the Slavia siblings and ofcourse between Volkswagen & Slavia similar sedans
Just the video I am sure many many people were waiting for. Settles it then. Slavia is here to take a bit of the cake!
A few days ago, I recommended Skoda Slavia to my friend and then we both went to Skoda showroom. As soon I entered the showroom, 3 Slavia were parked outside and 2 inside and the looks of Slavia really disappointed me. Honda City looks far better than Slavia. Interior of Top Model of Slavia doesn't give the premium feel of what City gives with its base model itself. Rear seat is far more comfortable in Honda City. In Slavia, Nothing is ergonomically placed. Auto AC control, Touch system, Cruise Control, etc. You will have to learn to get used to everything in Slavia. Cruise control placement is impractical and it is for left side steering wheel drive system, in Slavia. But, in Honda City, everything is placed very ergonomically and everything is very easy to use. Quality of material is also much better in Honda City. Door shut sound in Slavia seems like as if door is of very old car (I checked everything with different Slavia parked there). But, in Honda City door shut sound is much better and premium than Slavia.
Because of these many differences, my friend cancelled the plan of Slavia.
All those questening about Honda quitting India, I don't think so because just now Honda has introduces new HRV. So, Honda is not going to leave any soon ✌😉
Same me to went to showroom but slavia looks awesome compare to honda city ugly looks
Dude come on slavia looks soo sexy on the exterior than current gen city.. older gen city were much better than the current one.
@Kiruba Karan no
virtus looks far better
slavia looks bulky..
coming to city
the current city looks simpler
Spoken like a true fanboy.
@Barbeque
as If vw skoda fankids are not biased and arrogant
😂😂😂
City has one major drawback and that is possibility of scraping the belly quite often ... it needs a better ground clearance & a bit more better design. Everything else is great about it !!
Sedans are made for low ground clearance of course our Indian roads are not good in few states but low ground clearance has better control
Never scraped the belly in the past 10 years despite rough usage
low gc gives better handling and dynamics
but would have been more better if city had more stiffer suspension
@@avh6374 visit ladakh one day
You do know that Škoda has larger wheel base. Which means, even with higher GC it is still prone to scraping belly.
The City is a product of decades of engineering not to say the Slavia isnt but the difference is Honda has got this decades of engineering in a single segment for years not to mention its other product line up isnt in their respective segments counting all the markets.
What the takeaway for me is that there isn't much difference between the 2 in a lot of aspects. However what gives slavia the edge is that it has some good to have features which city lacks.
The previous comparison used to be between city and verna and it was always said go for city if you are looking for a spacious and comfortable practical family car. Go for Verna if you are looking for features and sportier experience. And the Indian market thrives on former 2 aspects.
However with slavia what skoda has done is that it has matched city in terms of space, practicality and comfort(okay I still will say city is more comfortable but there isn't a big difference). And on top of that it has also provided some really good to have features like Ventilated seats, Wireless charging, Cooled glovebox, front adjustable arm rest, rear adjustable head rest, 60-40 split rear seats plus has a better GC. Hence it becomes an overall better package.
Trust me honda city is my favorite sedan but facts are facts
dude I hv driven both verna and city.. and City is hell lot sportier than verna... check your facts and correct them
@@kill3rbyysight theek h bhai. Aap hi expert hoge. I am no expert
just saying what I felt.
mene konsa sportiness ki degree ki hai... I'm talking on behalf of car journalists.. de real ones not paid ones and my own experience.. I sold verna after 10 days as I didn't test drive city before purchasing verna
@@kill3rbyysight I love city tbh. I took a test drive of city and verna and a couple of SUVs. I was set on City. However when Slavia was launched it made me reconsider
city handled better than slavia
and coming to verna
city 1.5 has better performance and timings than the 3 cylinder 1.0 tsi slavia
a good diesel engine is the only advantage
nobody is gonna talk about mileage ?!
City comes with 185 55 r16 while Slavia rides on 205s. So taking this into account I'd say City did a lot better than Slavia. If it were between Rapid and City than Rapid would have been a clear winner. But Slavia simply doesn't handle as well as City.
true city handles better
This is cheating, you should have gone with 1.5 skoda
That will be compared with City RS
Wanna buy the slavia, take the 1.5 tsi. else the honda city manual
City the world is greats car 💘💝💖👌💯👍💋
Slavia 👍👍

@Hemal Kandoriya
you are wrong
slavia 1.0 tsi is slower than city
check 0-100 timings
only the 1.5 tsi is faster
but that's not same price range
@@Moonlight-hq3gi 1.5 tsi is not worth imo, with the bad quality, not worth for 20+ lakhs, xuv700 is a better pick, if you really need a sedan, a used octavia or elantra diesel would be real fun and hoot to drive
Excellent
Zigwheels and motorbeam are only do performance test rest channels only and only advertising
Keep it up guys 🔥🔥🔥🔥
Naturally Aspirated engines are best and reliable than turbo
i don't think this guy is taking the racing line in the corner test
Comparing a diesel car with a benzoline car doesn’t sound and seem like fair tho.
Slavia is fresh , good looking and solid on top of this. And if you opt for 1.5 version then its altogether 1 segment above.
City
Compare comforts, pricing, whether the AC will work in Delhi’s 45C afternoons or not.
This is supposed to be an Indian car review channel, no point of testing out acceleration where 99% of roads are capped with 50km/hr and if it’s reliable for 10-15 yrs cuz of stupid Delhi car regulations.
Japanese reliability is unmatched
Honda city any day

No one can't beat Honda City in its performance and reliability..... especially Petrol.....
Yes, except Toyota..
@@timeisup6844 Which Toyota? Yaris?
Ya. Go see a drag race between city and rapid 1.0. The rapid smokes the city.
A lot of these videos are starting to feel like an ill-planned drama. Indian reviewers need to move away from trying to charm audiences like Jeremy's trio does on Top Gear and just do a straightforward review. No scripted storyboard please! doesn't appear natural.
Thx will buy verna 🙏❤️🤭😁
Deshdrohi brand Hyundai।
watch arun pawar video
1.5 L iVetc - Nothing else
That Ivtec engine is still a masterpiece of engineering and only a true petrol head would know how much more important it is than the evo tsi’s in this times, is there any othe petrol car under 50 lakh rupees which reves more than 7 k. 6.5 would be a big deal too, you guys are good as car journalists with ur tests and etc but if there’s not a rush in you when someones mentioning vtec then its really sad.
Haha. Keep driving the engine for another decade cz Honda is not gonna innovate with that..and nobody is gonna keep revving until 7k everytime. Come on man.
I think selvia could do it better if that ground clearance could be less , that car is riding so high
Actually, it has a larger wheel base compared to city. If they would've kept ground clearance low, it would've had higher chance of scrapping under belly.
@@KaranSingh5 right paji

Corner turn depends on a lot to do with steering at right time... In my opinion it's not a right way to test or give a insight to turn ability.... Better drive for yourself and decide
Honda city I vtec 😍😍😍
Slavia need turbo power in 1.5 liter to win over City N.A. engine.
Seems like a paid video from skoda..
City diesel cornered well at 70kmph and petrol being lighter cant do it.. Driver was pathetic
