Honda Atlas and Indus Motors have lately introduced face lifted versions of their City and Corolla sedans in Pakistan, as a result the question is which one should you go for?
To answer that question today we’re going to evaluate the newly facelifted Honda City 1.5 liter Aspire against the facelifted Toyota Corolla GLi.
Design
The Honda City hasn’t altered much at all over the near 8 years of its occurrence in the market. Honda has by now released three facelifts on the current generation Honda City with the most recent facelift introducing minor aesthetic changes counting
- A new shark fin antenna, chrome door handles and other fairly minor changes.
- While the exterior isn’t anything to write about. It has stood the test of time and still manages to look quite contemporary today even after all this time.
- The front end has a medium sized front grille with a large chrome accent, barely tapered headlights and a huge front bumper with integrated fog lights.
- The comparatively high rear end houses large rear taillights and a large rear bumper.
- Honda also offers an elective body kit that adds a trunk spoiler, rear under spoiler, front under spoiler and side under spoilers.
The newly facelifted Toyota Corolla GLi features :
- An updated design on 11th generation brings in new sportier design elements all around the car.
- The front end has new sharp headlights that are included into the design of the new smaller chrome grille, the front bumper is now also larger and features a large air intake and design elements on it that you would usually see on higher end sports sedans.
- The rear end hasn’t altered much in comparison to the pre facelifted model in addition featuring a pair of revised taillights that incorporate LED lights.
Performance & Price
The Honda City in this price range comes prepared with
- A 1.5-Liter Inline-4 engine that generates 120bhp and 145Nm of torque.
- This comes mated as standard to a 5-speed manual gearbox or an optional automatic transmission. Protection wise the Honda City doesn’t fair too well as it doesn’t even characterize a drivers airbag.
- Despite the fact that Honda do state that the City does come with G-Con (Honds’s passive safety system) and crumple zones which should help endure the impact of most crashes while keeping the occupants safe.
