Best Car For Family.Honda’s new City CVT now gets a torque converter along with the usual pulleys-and-belts business. It replaces the old dual-clutch ’box, which was marred by sluggish acceleration, and felt too strained up the rev band. And via various other advancements, Honda has made the new CVT lighter by 10 per cent.
But increasingly wretched traffic, and the urge to opt for an easy-to-drive sedan have been bringing buyers back into showrooms looking for a comfortable automatic sedan. And it’s not just the premium segments – the C-segment too has started offering a variety of options – one of them being the new Honda City i-VTEC automatic.The rest of the car remains identical to its manual counterpart. As a package, the new City i-VTEC CVT is a good improvement over the earlier model. It comes with Honda’s reliability and strong after-sales, and the CVT promises to be efficient this time around. It scores well on ride and handling too. If there was one quibble to report, that would be top-end performance. If you can live with that, the new City CVT will prove to be a great choice for both, urban and highway use.
