    Have a look at the comparison chart for Honda CITY and Skoda Rapid;

    I do not think CITY beats the Rapid at many line items, but the price is 1.5 lakh more than Rapid.

    With launch of Rapid Ultima Special Edition that has all the ultra modern features of GPS, steering wheel options, ABS and everything a high end car has than the deal looks impressive. What do you think?

    CITY VS Rapid

    CITY VS Rapid

    Honda City is undoubtedly the winner as far as luxury is concerned but, the Ground Clearance is the major factor which lets us down . Higher GC help us to sail smoothly in uneven road. the GC of Honda City is 160 mm whereas Skoda has 168 mm .These figures are taken in unladen condition i.e. with no passengers & less Fuel hence actual figure will be less than quoted. Now when we talk about indian road vehicle with less GC will damage the chasis / Underbelly of the car & Honda cars have been poor on it.

    Max Power and Max Torque can not be ignored, right?
    And Skoda wins in both the things, you already mentioned about GC.

    The article itself is about Rapid Ultima limited edition luxury specs. Then in which area you are marking CITY better than Rapid?

    Probably Branding??? If Yes, Then I agree.

    there has been great demand of honda cars since its launch as compared to skoda ones. Its because of its (BRAND Value + Luxury) which comes with it. but with the increase in market competition they should look into other matters too.

    PS: Honda CIVIC is my fav. 😀

    Depends on what are you considering. For 0-100Kmph speed test, it does make a difference. However, for long runs gear ratio (6 in City compared to 5 in Rapid) will have a significant edge.

    And the price difference can be accounted for by rear-view camera, sunroof, central locking and leather upholstery in City.
