AFTER nearly three years in the market, the Honda City Hatchback has received a facelift and was officially launched today. The successor to the Jazz model is offered in five variants, with the following prices:

  • City Hatchback e:HEV RS – RM112,900

  • City Hatchback 1.5 V – RM95,900
  • City Hatchback 1.5 E – RM90,900
  • City Hatchback 1.5 S – RM85,900

As the highest variant, the City Hatchback e:HEV RS features a sportier exterior with a new honeycomb grille, front lower grille, and aggressive bumper design with integrated fog lights.

Completing its appearance are rear bumper lower decoration, side under spoiler, and 16-inch Berlina Black alloy wheels.

In terms of powertrain, there are no changes. The RS variant maintains the combination of a 1.5-liter engine and electric motor, producing 109PS and the highest torque in its class at 253Nm.

Meanwhile, other variants will continue to be powered by the 1.5-liter i-VTEC petrol engine with a power output of 121PS and 145Nm of torque. Power is transmitted to the front wheels through a CVT transmission.

Previously, Honda Sensing was only available in the RS variant, but this facelift model sees the driver-assist technology provided as standard for all variants, along with the additional Lead Car Departure Notification (LCDN) feature.

In addition, the RS variant also receives another added feature, Low Speed Follow (LSF).

Honda City Hatchback facelift now open for booking

2 Comments

HONDA Malaysia has announced that it is now accepting bookings for the facelifted Honda City Hatchback, which is slated to be launched in Quarter 2 this year.

Since its launch back in December 2021, the City Hatchback remains as one of the top selling hatchback models in the Non-National segment with 10,300 units sold in 2023, bringing the total sales number to more than 28,700 units thus far.

The City Hatchback was Honda Malaysia’s second model with the e:HEV technology. Since its launch, the e:HEV RS variant has contributed 16% to Honda Malaysia’s total hybrid sales to-date.

For the facelift model, the City Hatchback features upgraded looks, which Honda Malaysia claims to be “sleeker” and “more dynamic”.

As the range-topping variant, the e:HEV RS boasts a sharper fascia thanks to the newly designed front grille and front lower grill, both adorned with honeycomb inserts, as well as the front fog garnish.

The sporty look is further accentured with a new rear bumper lower garnish, side sill garnish and new 16-inch alloy wheels in Berlina Black.

No changes to the powertrains. The e:HEV RS retains the 1.5-litre + electric motor combo which delivers 109 PS and 253 Nm, the highest torque in its class.

On the other hand, the pure ICE variants continue to feature a 1.5-litre DOHC i-VTEC petrol engine that pushes out 121 PS and 145 Nm, sent to the front wheels via CVT.

Fresh looks aside, the City Hatchback facelift now comes with the Honda Sensing safety and driver assistance suite as standard across the range, with the addition of Lead Car Departure Notification (LCDN). The RS also gets Low Speed Follow (LSF).
