Honda Malaysia has launched the refreshed City, with the e:HEV RS continuing as the sole hybrid variant at RM111,900 on the road without insurance.
The updated B-segment sedan gets revised styling, a larger infotainment display and added safety equipment, while retaining its existing petrol and hybrid powertrains.
Honda said more than 536,000 units of the City have been sold in Malaysia over 24 years, with the hybrid version accounting for about 22% of the company’s total hybrid sales.
The City e:HEV RS produces 253Nm and uses Honda’s dual-motor hybrid system, while petrol variants retain the 1.5-litre DOHC i-VTEC engine producing 121PS and 145Nm, paired with a continuously variable transmission.
Equipment changes include a new 10-inch Display Audio system and Blind Spot Information System with Cross Traffic Monitoring across the range. Honda SENSING and Honda LaneWatch also remain standard on all variants.
The petrol RS and e:HEV RS additionally receive a 360-degree Multi-View Camera System, while the hybrid RS gets a wireless charger. New ambient lighting, footwell illumination and door-pocket lighting have also been added.
Outside, the City receives a redesigned grille, new Bi-LED headlights across all variants and a long light bar treatment for the RS versions. New 16-inch dual-tone alloy wheels complete the exterior update.
The range comprises four variants. The City 1.5L E is priced at RM89,900, followed by the 1.5L V at RM94,900 and Petrol RS at RM99,900. The e:HEV RS tops the line-up at RM111,900.
Honda Malaysia has also introduced an extended warranty of up to eight years with unlimited mileage for newly purchased petrol and hybrid models, including the City, effective from Sept 1.
The e:HEV RS continues to carry a 10-year hybrid battery warranty with unlimited mileage.
Honda Malaysia is also offering a Special City Reward Programme to the first 2,400 eligible customers, although the company did not detail the specific benefits in the release.
