The Oshan X7 provides better value than the Honda Civic.

The price range between Rs. 6.5 and 7.5 million contains several compelling possibilities. The Honda Civic has now joined that list, even though most of them are crossover SUVs. In this article, the new Civic is contrasted with a different SUV that is bigger, more useful, and costs roughly the same. the Changan Oshan X7 SUV in issue.

Exterior

Honda Civic

Civic is a stylish, athletic sedan that is more appealing than its rival by design. Its long, smooth bonnet, narrow front grille, angular headlights, and DRLs give it an opulent yet refined appearance.

A sporty image is made possible by the subtle side profile, more prominent tail, and sleek design. The 18-inch black alloy rims and lip spoiler on the RS model increase its sportiness.

With its updated taillight design, a smooth back bumper, and understated style, the rear is evocative of the Audi A4. The new Civic is a stylish car overall.

Changan Oshan X7

Oshan X7 offers cutting-edge design. The front of the car sports a sizable mesh-patterned grille, a pair of extremely bright LED headlights and DRLs, a sporty front bumper, and a gently sloping hood.

The side profile is standard, but the length has a few distinctive features, a high belt line, and a pair of 19-inch alloy wheels that give it a more upscale appearance.

The Oshan X7's back is straightforward and functional. Its back is covered with a broad light bar, a chrome strip, and a robust bumper with two exhaust cutouts. Overall, the Oshan X7 looks excellent, but not good enough to surpass Civic.

Interior

Honda Civic

The interior of the new Civic is quite elegantly designed, much like the outside. Civic's interior, an improved version of the 10th generation vehicle, features a nice polish and an uncomplicated arrangement while not being as contemporary as Oshan X7.

Five people may sit in the cabin comfortably, even tall people. Additionally, the new Civic can accommodate more luggage than its predecessor.
