New Honda City Officially Launched in Malaysia: Refreshed Styling, 10-Inch Display, and Enhanced Safety from RM89,900

The new Honda City arrives in Malaysia with an 8-year/unlimited mileage warranty.

Honda Malaysia has officially launched the New Honda City, introducing the latest update to the brand’s popular B-segment sedan. Throughout its 24-year history in the local market, the City has surpassed 536,000 units sold nationwide, serving as a core volume driver for the company while accounting for roughly 22% of its cumulative hybrid sales.

The refreshed lineup arrives in four distinct variants—E, V, Petrol RS, and the range-topping e:HEV RS. On-the-road retail prices without insurance start at RM89,900 for the 1.5L E, stepping up to RM94,900 for the 1.5L V, RM99,900 for the 1.5L Petrol RS, and topping out at RM111,900 for the 1.5L e:HEV RS.

Sharper Exterior Design with Standard Bi-LED Lighting

The updated sedan features an updated front fascia anchored by a redesigned front grille. Standard equipment across every variant now includes Bi-LED headlights for improved nighttime visibility, with the RS trims gaining distinctive long light bar headlamp signatures.

At the sides and rear, the sedan adopts updated bumper profiles and new 16-inch dual-tone milling alloy wheels. Exterior color options include Platinum White Pearl, Meteoroid Gray Metallic, a brand-new Blazing Red Pearl, and Stellar Diamond Pearl (offered exclusively on petrol variants).

Upgraded Cabin Tech and Interior Ambience

Inside, the cabin receives significant digital and ergonomic enhancements:

• 10-Inch Display Audio: A newly enlarged 10-inch infotainment touchscreen takes center stage on the dashboard, delivering a faster, more intuitive multimedia interface.
• Ambient Illumination: Fresh interior mood lighting is integrated alongside dedicated footlight illumination and illuminated door pockets for better nighttime cabin visibility.
• Convenience Amenities: The range-topping e:HEV RS adds an integrated wireless smartphone charging tray, complementing the model’s spacious passenger dimensions and deep trunk capacity.

Familiar 1.5L i-VTEC Petrol and Responsive e:HEV Hybrid Powertrains

Mechanical options remain centered around two proven powertrains tailored for urban and long-distance driving:

• 1.5L DOHC i-VTEC Petrol (E, V, Petrol RS): Produces 121 PS and 145 Nm of torque, routed to the front wheels through a Continuously Variable Transmission (CVT) for linear acceleration and fuel efficiency.
• 1.5L e:HEV Dual-Motor Hybrid (RS): Employs Honda’s intelligent two-motor system to generate a strong 253 Nm of electric motor torque, providing punchy off-the-line electric performance while automatically juggling drive modes between electric, hybrid, and engine drive.

Expanded Honda SENSING, Blind Spot Monitoring, and 360 Camera

Safety equipment sees substantial standardisation across the board. The active Honda SENSING suite remains standard across all four trims.

In addition, Honda Malaysia has added a Blind Spot Information System with Cross Traffic Monitoring as standard equipment on every variant, pairing Blind Spot Detection and Lane Change Assist with rear cross-traffic radar detection when backing out of driveways. The Honda LaneWatch camera system also comes standard on all variants.

For low-speed maneuvering and parking in tight spots, a new 360-degree Multi-View Camera System is now equipped on the Petrol RS and e:HEV RS variants.

Extended 8-Year Warranty and Special City Reward Programme

Marking the 24th anniversary of the City nameplate in Malaysia, Honda Malaysia has introduced the Special City Reward Programme, providing exclusive promotions and perks for the first 2,400 eligible buyers, including trade-in upgraders, repeat Honda owners, and civil servants.

Ownership value is further bolstered by Honda Malaysia’s new comprehensive warranty policy introduced in September 2026. All new Honda passenger vehicles—including the New City—now come with an extended warranty of up to 8 years with unlimited mileage.

The hybrid variant retains added coverage via Honda’s dedicated 10-year unlimited mileage hybrid battery warranty, reinforcing buyer peace of mind over the vehicle’s operating lifecycle.
