New Honda City versus TSI Volkswagen Vento – New technologies at its peak

The car scene at present is packed with diversity, which is not just restricted to the design layout but also transmission options. During the past few years the phrase automatic was not all that common. Today car companies are releasing cars with automatic and manual gearboxes.

It is a tedious process to engineer an automatic model, because the power consumption in automatic cars is enormously high, and is even pricier than manual cars. Automatic transmission cars are now in huge demand; automobile engineers have devised numerous automatic engineering technologies. Engineers have designed automatic transmission cars in a way that it offers a smooth drive experience. The latest advances in automatic transmission technology are twin clutch and Continuously Variable Transmission technology.

Honda is geared to unveil its brand new City model, and the automatic transmission gearbox inserted into the car is known to be more powerful than manual variant. The technology used here is Continuously Variable Transmission (CVT) and the mileage offered by automatic variant is 18 kpl higher than its manual counterpart at 17.8kmpl. Volkswagen Vento TSI is fitted with twin clutch automatic, and runs on a potent 1.2 liter direct injection TSI petrol turbo engine.

Car enthusiasts who have driven the City were pretty satisfied by the cars initial take off capacity. The response was amazing, even in circumstances when the accelerator was stretched a bit. The drive experience on the whole was a smooth one, and engine power emission was efficient to render a silky drive encounter. The technology used in gear box design is called slender torque converted and this set off an initial smooth spark.

Vento is not as responsive as Honda, the automatic transmission in TSI Vento is not as efficient, and the initial response is slow. During mid motion phases Vento TSI is more powerful, the running motor is not as noisy as City. The effect is powerful in slow traffic scenarios. When the car moves at lower speeds, the take off by twin clutch gearbox is not as potent as CVT injected in City.

The City emits harsh noises when too much pressure is applied on gearbox, in just 11.8 secs, the kilometer reading dial touches enormous speeds of 100kph and in 23.5 secs the speed attained is 140kph. The average energy pumped by the car is 117bhp.

The average power efficiency attained by Vento is 103bhp, and when full throttle pressure is applied on gearbox the car attains top notch speeds of 120 and 100. Vento offers a smooth gliding feel at lesser speeds; it absorbs tremendous energies to cruise on rough roads with ease. Honda City is not as potent as Vento at lower speeds, and emits slight vibrations; the effect is reduced once the speed output hits 40kph. City too can maneuver on bumpy roads with ease; Vento is a stronger player with respect to lesser noise emissions.

Coming to the interiors, the cabin arrangement in Vento is sober when compared to fourth gen Honda City. Vento is filled with basic fitments like world class audio system with Bluetooth amenities. The City is packed with interesting features like 8 speaker radio system, sunroof, 4 power exists, climate control touch interface and 5 inch color monitor.

The new City has more to offer in terms of interior fitments and opulence, and speed. The Vento is more powerful in noise and vibration department.
