Honda Malaysia has added a bit of new kit to the Honda Civic Hybrid, in this case a Rear Reverse Camera and a Hands-Free Telephone (HFT) capability system. Both new features are integrated with the car’s intelligent Multi-Information Display (i-MID), so everything should be nice and seamless.
No changes elsewhere, including that of the price – the Civic Hybrid continues on at RM119,980 (on-the-road) – other than its country of origin as it’s now assembled in Thailand instead of Japan.
In terms of volume, the company is certainly looking at continued takeup for the car; it has increased the annual sales target from 1,200 units last year (from its market introduction in July) to 3,200 units in 2013, with a monthly sales target of 270 units.

my fren will sure be butthurt cos he just got his car few days ago. kah kah kah
At least your friend’s is Made In Japan.
Is this the new civic turbo?
Nice thought coming from Honda Malaysia. Now will Honda do the same for the new CRV and include HFT and parking sensors at no extra cost? Front and rear would be good thanks!
Free gift from Honda after GE13?
Great!
No need PR to reduce price la.
Honda Malaysia already start.
Vote for Honda..
Ini Kali KALAH la
From CBU Japan to CBU Thailand and they just added in reverse cam and bluetooth. Actually is an increase in price!
Couldn’t agree more.
A person with shallow thinking will try to make fun out f it.
its actually a great move by Honda (not so good for buyer). They offer extra gadgets which does not cover the differences of the value it should be. Now it is made in Thailand instead of Japan. It should be at least RM 5k-10k cheaper. Smart move by Honda!
car price reduced but they add new features.. so it balance the price back…
:)
u think HM really nice want to give away such things? not in the history of Malaysia Automotive
No changes elsewhere – other than its country of origin as it’s now assembled in Thailand instead of Japan.
Doing good on the sales part to attract customers but HM also has to do equally well in the after sales. Their CKD line up is plagued with many issues, mainly cabin noise which is apparent after a year of ownership.
Plus who will forget about the famous Facebook case where a Honda Civic KO after 2km of driving from the showroom and HM refuse to take responsibility until the case went viral on FB.
I vowed never to buy another Honda vehicle after taking into consideration all the matters raised by myself above.
Aloo brader kot ye pun fanatik honda kalo tak setuju dgn pandangan org lain takyah la sampai nak kutuk2 camtu sekali….apa kena mengena hubungan suami isteri dgn posting dia….kalo rasa tak bole nak berdiskusi cara baik….duduk diam2
Finally, one of the market leaders giving more value to its customers’ hard-earned cash and show some appreciation for their loyalty.
Ahem, is the other ‘Taiko’ going to take note of this or it still not going to Ubah!
I was wondering how could HM be so kind until I read “assembled in Thailand”…hello HM, ppl are NOT stupid, ppl know the tax structure and ppl know how to count…
At least give curtain airbags la honda..
made in thailand, wonder how much profit that honda malaysia made by selling it with the same price, and who knows, when automotive tax reduction starts, they will still sell with same price but only adding extra features, claims it worth as tax reduction value.. yet, their profit becomes bigger…
That’s business Bro. Deal with it. Win-lose. No win-win situation bro
The Civic FB I’ll go for, consider the ICE powered variant is quite a disappointment to me, not when I compare it with its rival, but when I compare with its predecessor, the FD. The hybrid FB civic at least made some inprovement in the power train and also its 2nd best kitted while the 2nd cheapest in the civic range.
Now people will get a bit sour now that its made in Thailand not Nippon, but look at it this way, at least it is not made in Malaysia, *cough*Jazz hybrid CKD *cough*
I just got mine for 2 weeks!!!!!!!!!!
CONGRATULATIONS!
yours is better, CBU made in Japan.
this unit same price with more features,
is CKD in Thailand.
how long did you book? I have been waiting from January?!
When it comes to Honda Malaysia, nothing is free!
there must be something missing.. hmm
owh.. the ‘made in japan’ things.. ;)
seriously, “wa caya sama lu”?
that sounded nonsensical back in the 80’s.
unlike wine, it won’t get better with age.
grow up.
wow… hybrid still at RM120K? thought its supposed to hv less taxes?
I dont think those who bought the Jap CBU looses anything. Sendiri retrofit the navi unit + cam. Easy. No need to crack head all.
no more made in japan =.=
I own a Civic Hybrid (CBU Japan) since early this year. Can these upgrade facilities be install by HONDA into the Japan model? Any Honda agent can answers? Thanks
No Civic Hybrid here since petrol is cheaper than water..the 2013 Civic just launched here are made in Thailand too whereas 2013 Honda Accord sold here are made in USA..City? you will be caught dead driving one…the sub compact segment leader is Yaris/Vios.
Yeap, Honda Malaysia = Bullshit Nuts. Therefore, pls boycott Honda Malaysia as their car’s quality are worst than Perodua or even Proton. To those that do not agree are maybe those that are lucky that their Honda cars have no problem and so on. Because my freaking Honda Accord and Honda Civic have more freaking problem compared to my Perodua Myvi. Sucks.
Setakat ni Honda masih kompetetif dan terbaik. Cuma harga je makin increased tu yg senak tu. Elok rawatan batin je baru tk senak.
What the fuss about honda move to Thailand? The company got strategy to get their operating cost low. What’s wrong with that move?
Why u have to calculate the company profit margin la. Unless u got share in the company that’s a different story. Want high quality but ain’t going to pay more…
