Honda Cars India has firmly established itself, under the most tackling economic circumstances. The company has effectively channelized its product launches, and has gained overnight fame on the back of Mobilio, Amaze and all new City. The stellar product of the lot is the all new City, and it is a threat to the current and upcoming competition.
Honda has engineered the car with the advanced ‘Exciting H design technology’ which is a unique selling feature of the car along with the revolutionary i-DTEC diesel engine technology. The Indian automobile market is facing harsh competition, created by the pressurized macro-economy, Maruti Suzuki recently launched its signature Ciaz car also garnished with a novel Authentics design technology and it is its rare venture into the C segment sedan market, and its main source of competition inspiration was 2014 City.
The new City has attracted greater buyers than Ciaz, and is also slated in the top ten best selling cars of 2014 November. However competitive the automobile market scenario is, Honda has always found the pathway to success, in 2014 November it made amazing profits of 64% compared to the corresponding year. The profit structure of Honda during the period is significantly higher than Maruti Suzuki. The overall vehicle sale outcome of Honda cars is 7,252 units and Maruti Suzuki rolled out 5,232 pieces.
Ciaz is a magnificent new product of Maruti Suzuki, it looks luxurious to the hilt, but the population was just driven towards the 2014 City. Let’s compare the two cars and decipher the higher level of attraction towards the all new City. It is an intriguing comparison which reflects on the cut-throat competition power of the Indian automobile industry.
The design architecture of all new City is awe-inspiring, Honda’s Exciting H Design philosophy design originality has done the trick, and it looks more amazing and signature than its predecessors. The company has modified the structure of the front with a new grille packed with glossy chrome and the grille elegantly merges with bumper. The headlights are moulded into neat double barrel structures. The side view is great and the arty looking tail lights emit powerful radiation.
The innovative Authentics design concept of Ciaz was showcased in grand style at the prestigious 2014 Shanghai Motor Show. The elegance of the front is accentuated by the stylishly sculpted trapezoidal front grille and generous amount of chrome. The architecture of the sweptback headlight is creative, so is the strong shoulder line, flared wheel arches and chrome door handles. The back portion has ingenious wrap around tail lights, and magnificently styled bumper. Ciaz certainly has an edge over City, in terms of length; it is also longer than Hyundai Verna.
The interior luxury quotient of both cars is equally enticing, Ciaz is also more reasonable than City and the price variation of the most loaded car is almost a lack. It is interesting to learn that City has churned higher profits than Ciaz in 2014 November, when Ciaz had better advantages.
