HONDA CITY VTEC ZX
Honda Siel Cars Ltd has hit the roads again… This bears the same name Honda City but with a lot more difference in the aesthetics and comforts. It’s the new City ZX with VTEC (variable valve timing and lift electronic control) engine. It’s priced @ between Rs. 7 lacs to Rs.9 lacs (ex showroom); the new range is styled with sleek and sporty looks. It is longer (by 4390 mm) than the earlier version (City ZX-CVT) and comes with a higher bonnet and increased trunk space. VTEC engine offers an undisputed combination of power and fuel efficiency, Also the new range has three additional colors Bluish Silver, Alabaster Silver, Galaxy Grey (looks too good!). The new variant is priced nearly Rs. 20, 000 extra, but it’s worth the bucks for the new additional features!
Its definitely gonna kick off (rather the booking has already reached heights!)… This should be a sure pick… for those who are considering the Hyundai CRDI… Think once more ….. A petrol car with a good fuel economy what more do we need?????
