Just weeks after the car’s debut in Thailand and its sighting over here, Honda Malaysia has opened the order books for the facelifted Honda City starting today – the B-segment sedan receives a number of tweaks inside and out, plus added kit.
At the front, there are redesigned headlights, joined together by a new chrome bar inspired by the new Civic; the grille also gains a new honeycomb mesh and a chrome strip. The front and rear bumpers have also been reprofiled, and the top-spec V trim gains LED headlights and fog lights, new two-tone 16-inch alloy wheels, a ducktail spoiler with integrated LED brake light and LED tail lights – the last two are not available in Thailand.
No mention of changes to the interior, but we should get the darker gunmetal trim, redesigned seat fabric (with the Civic’s centre stripe) and LED map and room lights offered on Thai models. All models now get keyless entry and push-button start, while the V variant finally receives a multi-angle reverse camera.
All models retain the 1.5 litre i-VTEC four-cylinder engine, mated to an Earth Dreams CVT transmission; although outputs have yet to be announced, expect them to stay the same at 120 PS and 145 Nm. Safety-wise, all models now come with Vehicle Stability Assist (VSA), with the V variant adding six airbags as before.

Looking to sell your car? Sell it with Carro.
vios should cry by now.
furthermore ‘new’ vios acceleration is like driving a 660cc ViVa (so much hype of Dual VVT-i engine with CVT gearbox)
VW Vento > all
My bf said i can get any ride around 250k.Definately not this one.
My boss said under 350k. Not this one.
What i meant was “any ride around 250k odometer reading”.
Im just using her only..
It’s a “Him”
New facelift? does it come with full disk brake? I mean rear drum upgrade with disk? hope to see that in the new ct.
Does disk brake perform better than drum? Or it intentions is for cosmetics only?
Not a major difference for rear brakes, but obviously easier to maintain and better reliability
In terms of performance, disk brake perform better. I guess that is the main reason most high end car have disk brake all round.
Drum perform better. Why heavy duty vehicle used drum
Bro Elv, I think we are talking cars here.
Why racing cars use disc brakes? They stop better. Stupid.
City and Vios not high end. Drum rear brake is enough.
Bro Ali, my very old Alfa sud 1.5 has all round disk. Trust me, a car or any car for the matter with all round disk perform better. It is easier to tell when U need to change the brake pads too.
u dont need 4 disk brake , the car is relatively light…front disks/rear drums more than sufficient
Honda wants to reduce cost, old city got all around disc brakes. Honda is spec their cars like Peroduas now
You may be right here but you can see if the disk-pad need to be change if it’s worn out with a disc brake.
Rear Drum brakes? Sohc engine?
Good that all cities comes with VSC now.
what wrong with sohc engine..it gud for short distance driving especially around town n traffic jam
SOHC engine is less efficient compare DOHC..
Having single cam as compared with dual cams does not mean that it is less efficient. There are pros and cons:
1) single cam means lesser engine parts, less complicated and lower possibility of parts failure.
2) with lesser parts, engine’s weight is lighter. Also less engine load in rotating the parts. Therefore better fuel economy, especially in city driving.
3) Sohc usualy has better low-end torque, while dohc usually has better high-end power.
Biasa la.. Most ppl here take things literally..Sohc means lousy than dohc. Disc brake sure lousy than drum eventho the car or even the tire could not even fully utilize those drum brake power..
that why it takes car makers here so long to make safety as std, instead like to put those blink blink things that fish shallow minded fellows wallet here and it works so damn well.
you!i like you!and the way u think!
V should consider for a 1.0T engine, makes more prestige like the top range civic wit 1.5T
1.0T make the car prestige? lol.. Even Honda did not market their 1.5T as high end, but their Type R is. Know the difference.
I’m seeing myself driving this car in the next nine years
because loan max 9 years ? In this economy ?
If u need 9 years loan, u shudnt get this car. Its way over ur budget. Get Persona2 instead.
Price?
LED headlamp, DRL, ducktail spoiler with LED brake light, LED taillight and reverse camera all in not bad Honda Malaysia.
Waiting for BRV facelift..
So disappointed with the current high spec BRV.
full spec axia seems better equipped.
axia ada vsc ke?
Adaaa. They call it Valuable Super Cangkuk or better known as Teh Tarik Hook
Hahaha. You made my night
Hehehe
It will be interesting if PT.org can do a comparison on the Vios & City facelift.
Ducktail spoiler? Seriously?
What’s this? 911 2.7 RS?
isnt posh, whaletail?
That’s the 911 turbo series
Its already 2017, still using old SOHC engine from 2009.
Come on Honda Malaysia , upgrade to DOHC Earth Dreams 130hp engine like the Japanese Made Honda Fits, sales will definitely increase like nuts.
Impressive equipment overall for a small sedan.
No close-up photo of the dashboard for us to see the instrumentation. So I doubt the is any temperature gauge.
May be still the 2 blue and red temperature idiot lights. Low cost like Axia dashboard. They are not interested to equip the damn car with temperature gauge. Paddle shifters or triptronic (+-) also absent. What a letdown, Honda. Proton Ertiga and Persona is installed with temperature gauge though they are 4 speed auto and CVT respectively.
chill bro… brv not even have any indicator for engine temperature
I owns car with both drums and disc brakes.
Personally i prefer Disc brakes.
-Disc brakes are more expensive than drums in cost per unit in manufacturing cost, this incudes servicing cost and replacing consumables too.
-Main benefit of Disc brakes is effectiveness to dissipate heats faster than drums(eg: city driving won’t see differents as compared to a frequent Genting Highland traveler.
-weakness of Drum brakes, pad dust buildup inside drums will reduce braking effectiveness. Frequently(depending on brakes usage), need to service by removing drum cover to blow clean(remove dust).
-Single test(or even 2x or 3x) of braking distant won’t find much different but multiple continuous(or repeated, after drum gets hot) braking test will show degrading effectiveness of drums brakes(due to drum brakes weak at heat dissipation)
-example a city car like Saga, Axia, Myvi uses drums(save cost) where as Altis, Accord has disc(C segment and above, suitable for intercity and premium cost). Unless the manufacturer willing to spend extra cost onto this particular city car by installing Disc brakes.
VSC as standard equipment. Good for all the buyers.
Why not consider bringing in the hybrid variant as well ? There was a test unit in M’sia. How come don’t wanna sell hybrid variant ?
lets see what equipment for the lower 2 variant…finger crossed the DRL stays at all variant ^^
Honda City useless upgrades:
1) Duck tail spoiler
2) LED Rear lights
3) LED fog lights
4) Dual tone alloy wheels
What HOnday city needs:
1) All round disc brakes
2) Pedal shifters
3) Electronic brakes
4) Standard 6 airbags across all variants
Dream on lah, how to maintain costs. Bodoh..
Bro you missed out the ‘ KEY’ Upgrade, the RED Type R emblems on the steering wheel, grille and boot.
Added 1000hp from 120hp outdated 2009 engine! LOL!
Available at abang and ah beng workshops at Sunway.
you’re the only one who doesn’t want it.
Yes, standard VSA! City is a no brainer over the Vios.
omg did they remove the paddle shift?
that means they r bringing in the SV spec from thailand and repackage as top spec in malaysia? (instead of SV+)
go on, speculate. hehehe
Thinking about buying a car with keyless go? Watch this:

It has already become a serious problem in Germany, where these cars get stolen regularly. The device to steal these cars effortlessly and without any risk of getting caught or noticed (the thief looks like the owner) is available commercially or can be built easily. Don’t think Malaysian thieves are too stupid for this.
since not official yet will just state a bit,
if no changes in;
– rear wheels to have disk brake
– paddle shift (not everyone are into F.C.S. or E.E.V.)
– rear sensor qty 4 (not f**king 2)
– rear Cam (optional yes or no, no problem)
– Android Auto in H.U.D. (WTF you give carplay for? not everyone are ifag user)
then better look at other options.
I was wondering if the Honda Malaysia will bring in the latest Honda City 1.5L with 6-speed manual transmission to our country. As we know that our neighbour country might have offered the 5 speeder H.City in their line up. Don’t let the M/T fan-sie get annoyed by most new cars will none manual transmission in the line up. Yeah, and I’d expect comments such as MT is outdated la and upgrade your mind la bro, I’d still be an enthusiast of manual transmission until the day the manual transmission dies, perhaps. Hopefully the next generation of Honda City may bring in Honda’s 6-M/T City for the manual enthusiast. Just my humble opinion, please leave your thoughts which I’m always glad to be reading through. Cheers
what is the procedure to get this car in pakistan?????????????
