Honda has made a mark in sedan segment with the launch of Amaze, the car launched in April 2013. It has been barely a year since the launch of the car, and Honda has made stunning profits with the sale of over 80,000 pieces. Amaze is Honda’s first diesel project. The company has yet again emerged with another classic sedan piece called City diesel. Honda has injected novel design technologies into the car called Exciting H design and Sleek Cross Motion.
The new City is the fourth gen model and looks strikingly different from earlier pieces. The difference is so vast that the new City can be termed an evolutionary launch from earlier models. The car looks pretty attractive with glossy chrome decorations observed on grille that blends in well with darker segments of lower portion. The head light is compartmentalized into three sections to fit in high beam lights, low beam lights and blinkers.
The insides are as lavish as the exteriors, and the material used is top notch, and the design is simple and elegant. The dashboard is draped with professional piano black material and the same color theme is visible in side air vent of driver and extends to centre console. On the centre panel is touch screen climate control panel and touch screen stereo. The steering wheel is three spoke type mounted with audio controls. The 510 liter boot volume is sufficient to throw in heaps of luggage.
The 2014 City is powered with a potent iDTEC diesel 1.5 liter engine that releases impressive energy outputs of 200Nm and 100PS. The engine is mated to six speed manual transmission gearbox. The car moves with an impressive mileage of 26kmpl, similar to the best-in-class 25.8kmpl mileage offered by Amaze diesel. The car costs Rs 7.42 to 11.1 lakhs.
Fiat Linea is a blockbuster sedan launch, and is a magnificent sedan piece, and a product of marvelous automobile engineering. The front portion has creatively sculpted parabola head lamps which is a classic representation of human eye. The radiator grille is sprinkled with shiny silver slats, and the fog lights look amazingly sporty. The bonnet design is aesthetic and an unmatched distinction in its class and here too the boot volume is enormous at 500 liters.
The insides of Linea are as posh as the exteriors with dual tone interiors that would occupants encounter a seventh heaven effect. There are ample storage spots to store all kinds of items with a couple of glove boxes, additional tray and cup holder, for optimum comfort there is a back arm rest, and to listen to amazing tunes there is a world class music system which is Bluetooth enabled. The other convenient features are audio control on steering, premium leather upholstery, 12 volt power socket and power windows.
Linea is fitted with potent petrol 1368cc 1.4 liter Fire engine that releases 115Nm and 90bhp. The engine is mated to 5-speed manual gearbox; there is a diesel multijet 16 valve DOHC 1248cc 1.3 liter engine that pumps out 209Nm and 93PS. The mileage yielded by diesel engine is 14kmpl and petrol engine churns 12kmpl, the car costs Rs 7.45 lakhs.
It is tough to pick the better of the two, but 2014 City diesel has something new to offer in terms of novel design technologies. The City overpowers the Linea in terms of engine capacity. Linea has more to offer in interior equipment quarter.
