For the Honda City diesel manual, you’re paying between Rs. 1.5 lakh and Rs. 1.6 lakh more than the petrol variants.
Now, let’s compare the per kilometre fuel cost you’ll incur with both the engine options. For this, we’ll use the latest petrol and diesel prices in Delhi and the official mileage figures as a baseline.

Depending on the variant, you’ll have to cover 87,432km to 93,261km with the Honda City diesel manual to recover the extra price you pay upfront over the City petrol.
With the Honda City, you should only consider upgrading to the diesel engine if you plan to cover at least 90,000km during your period of ownership. While the diesel engine of the City is quite efficient, it doesn’t have the performance that sedans in the segment that are equipped with a 1.5L turbo petrol engine (Slavia, Virtus) offer. Moreover, the 1.5L petrol engine in the new City has improved drivability than before. So, the jump to the diesel engine is only for those who have high running.
