New Honda City Hatchback Officially Open For Booking In Malaysia With Sharper Styling, Upgraded Tech & Enhanced Safety

Right after the New City Sedan, Honda Malaysia has officially commenced nationwide order taking for the New Honda City Hatchback.

Just last week, Honda Malaysia launched the new City and now the 5-door hatchback has been confirmed for our market. The move strengthens the Japanese marque’s core B-segment offering with two complementary body styles tailored to differing driver priorities. While the sedan caters to traditional three-box proportions, the refreshed five-door hatchback is aimed squarely at style-conscious urban drivers and young professionals seeking a sportier footprint and flexible cabin packaging.

Customers can place bookings through Honda Malaysia’s official pre-booking portal or at authorized dealerships nationwide ahead of its official showroom launch.

Sharper Front-End Profile and RS-Specific Berlina Black Wheels

The exterior of the B-segment hatchback receives an aesthetic overhaul to sharpen its road stance. Up front, the front bumper and grille architecture have been re-profiled for a cleaner, more aggressive look, flanked by New Connected Headlights that flow neatly into the front fascia.

Profile styling changes are highlighted by updated alloy wheel designs across the range. The sporty RS variant receives distinctive 16-inch dual-tone alloy wheels finished in Berlina Black and Dark Clear, distinguishing it from the standard grades and accentuating its youthful road presence.

Elevated Interior Tech and Signature ULTRA Seat Practicality

Inside, the cabin introduces tactile and visual revisions to modernize the driving environment:

• 10-Inch Floating Display Audio: Taking pride of place on the dashboard is an enlarged 10-inch floating infotainment touchscreen that offers faster responsiveness and an intuitive layout for media and connectivity.
• 3D Pattern Trim and Ambient Glow: The passenger-facing dashboard trim receives a refined 3D-pattern mid-garnish paired with integrated ambient illumination, adding visual depth and an upscale mood during nighttime drives.
• ULTRA Seats Configuration: Cargo versatility remains a core selling point thanks to Honda’s clever rear seating mechanism. The four standard arrangements—Utility, Long, Tall, and Refresh—allow owners to flip the seat bases upward or fold the seatbacks flat to haul awkward, bulky lifestyle cargo that typically challenges conventional hatchbacks.

Proven 1.5L e:HEV Hybrid Powertrain with 253 Nm of Torque

Powertrain choices will continue to be crowned by the advanced 1.5L e:HEV hybrid powertrain on the flagship RS grade. Generating 109 PS and a punchy, class-leading 253 Nm of electric motor torque, the dual-motor hybrid setup provides immediate low-end pull for effortless urban acceleration alongside low real-world fuel consumption.

To back the system’s long-term durability, Honda Malaysia provides a dedicated 10-year unlimited-mileage warranty covering the hybrid battery and related electrical components.

Standardized Driver Assistance and 360-Degree Camera

Active safety and parking convenience receive substantial upgrades on the refreshed hatchback.

The New City Hatchback now comes standard with a 360-degree Multi-View Camera System, giving drivers a complete bird’s-eye perspective around the perimeter to take the guesswork out of tight parking maneuvers and narrow urban alleyways.

Driver awareness is further augmented by the addition of a Blind Spot Information system and Cross Traffic Monitoring, warning drivers of blind-spot intrusions during lane changes and alerting them to crossing vehicles when reversing out of perpendicular parking lots.

Industry-Leading 8-Year Unlimited-Mileage Warranty

Ownership peace of mind receives a boost through Honda Malaysia’s new manufacturer warranty initiative introduced in September 2026. All newly registered Honda vehicles—encompassing both internal combustion engine and hybrid iterations of the New City Hatchback—are protected by an extended factory warranty of up to 8 years with unlimited mileage. Final variant specifications and official retail pricing will be revealed during the car’s upcoming Malaysian commercial launch.
