We’re reporting from Thailand, to preview the all-new 2014 Honda City before it’s introduced in Malaysia. The drive report will be up at a later date, but for now, let us take you through what is, to most of us at least, the new Toyota Vios-rival’s defining feature – its looks.
When it comes to cars in this segment, price (Nissan Almera) and appearance (Toyota Vios) talk. So here is the upcoming Honda B-segment sedan, pictured next to the car it will replace very soon. In the next few weeks, in fact. Yes, we’re that close to the 2014 City’s Malaysian launch.
Ignore the exact specifications of this very car for now, as this is a Thai-built, Thai-spec vehicle, which differs from the Malaysian-assembled, Malaysian-spec models you can buy locally. Just focus on the looks at the moment. Not a bad change of style, eh? Give us your thoughts below.

AI-generated Summary ✨
Comments on the blog post mainly focus on the new Honda City’s design, with many appreciating its sportier, more refined exterior compared to the previous model, though some find it still somewhat conservative or similar to older generations. The interior is generally praised for looking more upmarket and modern. Discussions also touch on the lack of GPS in top models, CVT transmission reliability (with some concern about past issues and heavy-foot driving), and how the new design compares to competitors like Vios and Proton. Several commenters highlight Honda’s better specs and safety features, while opinions on styling vary from admiration to disappointment. There’s enthusiasm for Honda's ongoing improvements, though some feel the design is evolutionary rather than revolutionary. Overall, the comments express positive intent but some reservations about the styling and technical details.
