Honda City vs Jaguar XJ L [2014-2016]

We get behind the wheel of the petrol manual Honda City with ADAS

In the past, car design used to be an art. A chassis was purchased and handed over to a coach builder for design and personal touches. Such vehicles reflected the class and taste of the owners as well as the company that built the car. The pioneers in this type of building were the British whose sensibilities were reflected in their vehicle’s lines, shapes and overall design.

This is the latest iteration of the Honda City, a successful three-box sedan still going strong after more than two decades. It's still this fifth-generation avatar introduced in 2020 but gets some more updates. The most important ones are an RDE-compliant engine and advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS). Look closely, and you'll see the elegant exterior design exudes a sportier character thanks to the revised bumpers. These are tastefully done and look like extensions with a carbon fibre look. The grille mesh pattern is revised and there's a new addition of this Obsidian Blue Pearl exterior colour that looks fantastic.
