Honda gives City a tech-driven refresh

Honda Malaysia has introduced a refreshed version of its iconic City sedan, aimed at maintaining relevance in the evolving urban driving landscape. This marks the 24th anniversary of the City's presence in Malaysia, with over 536,000 units sold since its launch. The new City comes in four variants, ranging in price from RM89,900 to RM111,900, excluding insurance.

The sedan boasts a more sporty exterior with a redesigned front grille, Bi-LED headlights, and 16-inch dual-tone milling alloy wheels. Inside, the cabin features a larger 10-inch display audio system, wireless charging, and enhanced ambient lighting. The e:HEV RS variant, which accounts for about 22% of Honda Malaysia's total hybrid sales, includes a wireless charger, blind spot information with cross traffic monitoring, and a 360-degree multi-view camera system for improved parking and maneuverability.

Priced from RM89,900 to RM111,900, the City sedan retains its 1.5-litre petrol powertrain, delivering 121 PS and 145 Nm of torque. The e:HEV RS variant offers a more powerful hybrid system, generating 253 Nm of torque. Honda Sensing is standard across all variants, with additional safety features like blind spot monitoring and a 360-degree camera becoming available in higher trims.

To celebrate the City's 24th anniversary, Honda Malaysia is offering a special reward program for the first 2,400 eligible customers and has extended its warranty coverage to up to eight years with unlimited mileage for new petrol and hybrid models. Available colours include Platinum White Pearl, Meteoroid Gray Metallic, Stellar Diamond Pearl, and the new Blazing Red Pearl.
