SKODA SLAVIA VS HONDA CITY
It’s been a while since we had something to celebrate in the midsize-sedan segment, what with similarly sized, and priced, SUVs being the current trend. Which is why the introduction of the Skoda Slavia is one of the highlight car launches of the year. The fifth-gen Honda City was the last major entrant into this segment and that was over two years ago. It only makes sense to see which of the two would woo buyers to a greater degree, which is what you see on these pages. At the outset, let me say that this isn’t a direct rivalry, despite the midsize nature of these sedans.
Honda is set to launch its hybridised City in the next couple of months, which should give this 1.5-litre version of the Slavia we have here a better run for its money. Other than the hybrid powertrain, the City will also get a number of feature updates that will ensure it feels more up-to-date. In today’s context, it is actually the Slavia with the 1.0-litre engine that is a better match for the Honda on power and price. What I am endeavouring to find out is which of the sportiest versions of each midsize sedan will be more fun.
