Maruti Ciaz is a lot cheaper than the new City, nearly by Rs 3 Lakhs. Even the top-end S trim of Ciaz is cheaper than the starting V trim of the City. However, the latter being a base trim, offers more features than the Ciaz. There’s additional advantage that the City offers a diesel engine which is costlier than the top-end trim of Ciaz by nearly Rs 2 Lakhs. However, you get more torque and better mileage.

Here is a very tough competition as both of them are the most feature-rich and premium sedans of the segment. The base variant of Verna is definitely cheaper but the SX trim of Verna is equivalent to the V trim of City. So, that wise, the difference is not that huge. The upper price range of Verna is higher because it offers a Diesel-AT combination, otherwise, it is cheaper than the City.

Before the BS6 norms came in form, Vento was one of the costliest sedans in the segment. After ditching the diesel engine and DSG gearbox, it now gets a 1.0 Litre TSI engine only. What we can see here is that all other sedans offer their base variants for a cheaper price. However, the City does not have a base variant and even its V trim gets most of the premium features. In any case, Vento is a cheaper option than City, but latter offers more features.

With the launch of BS6 Skoda Rapid, it is now the most affordable sedan in its segment. Its base variant is even cheaper than the Ciaz and offers a lot more features. When comes to the City, you can either go for the V trim or the top-end Rapid Monte Carlo variant for a Lakh extra. Definitely, the latter will get more features but not to a higher extent.

Prior to the new City and Verna facelift, Yaris was originally the costliest one of the lot. However, due to poor sales, Toyota introduced a lot of cheaper and more practical variants. It now starts at Rs 8.86 Lakhs but offers the most basic features. To match up to the features list of the City, you will have to choose between the V Trim or the G Trim of Yaris.
