It is difficult to determine the winner in this segment as Vios provides better fuel economy while sacrificing on power. On the other hand, the Honda City houses a more powerful engine with a higher fuel consumption. As both are meant to be city cars, we’d give this category to the Toyota Vios for an engine better made for day-to-day city driving.
Both models don’t offer much in their base variants. The City 1.5 S comes with an amber illumination display for the meter whereas Vios 1.5 J Spec gets a white illumination display. In terms of space, the City beats the Vios with more rear passenger legroom as well as a huge boot space. Both City S and Vios J do not come with the 60:40 rear folding seats offered on higher variants.
