Honda Malaysia is building hype for the facelifted City, showing the car at its annual media gathering event last week and then bringing the car on a nationwide tour. Now, it has released a new video showing the differences in design compared to the outgoing model, ahead of the car’s launch very soon – the order books having already been opened since the beginning of the month.
This makes it much easier to spot the differences, which include redesigned headlights – now LED units on the top-spec V variant – with a different shape. The chrome bar, which now extends over the headlights Civic-style, is also slimmer than before, while the grille features a honeycomb mesh and a chrome strip. The front bumper has also been given a more elegant design.
At the rear, the V model gains LED tail lights as seen on the Japanese-market Grace Hybrid, and there’s also a sportier rear bumper and a ducktail spoiler with an integrated LED third brake light. Finishing it off are new two-tone alloy wheels, measuring 16 inches on the V, as well as the new Lunar Silver hue from the Civic.
As before, Honda has not shown the interior of the facelifted City, 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 and Indian models. All models now get keyless entry and push-button start, while the V variant finally receives a multi-angle reverse camera and auto-folding door mirrors.
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. The model lineup will also be streamlined from four variants (S, S+, E and V) to three (S, E and V).
Looking to sell your car? Sell it with Carro.
so disappointed that there is no all-round disk brakes and pedal shifters.
that’s backward.
Car looks the same as old car. Might as well buy a 1 year old City for RM20k less in mudah.
And the best part, this car will be about RM90k. Gila to have a small tiny B segment car at RM90k.
Much better than vios
Do MAI MAA Ministry walk the talk to reduce Honda City price by 30% to 51k…??? Obviously Sohai buy B segment at 90k…
Yes, it got no rear disc brake, but it stopped about the same as the Vios all round disc brake.
Yes, its B-segment but its the most practical & largest B segment out there.
Fuel price gonna rise, B & C segment now is the best buy.
Well, its the best B-segment in the market now.
Dear Selva, wanna C-segment less than 90k
go get new Preve.
Cheaper B-segment with Stability Control
Persona 45k+
Kia Rio 70k+
Vios 75k+
City 80k+
Mazda 2 87k+
Fiesta Sedan 88k+
VW Vento 1.2 94k+
Have your pick
Honda…cars for the masses…
Pay less want more. So hai..
Your budget is City, you expect for Accord? LOL
Go buy Bezza/Persona la macha..
Who care about drum brake or airbag? The brand is honda….who care…????
Everything is fine except one thing; the rear drum brake really suck!
Cheap to install and serviced. Car is not made to speed on roads, get Civic Turbo or nsx if wanna race.
Cheap? When I say prefer disk instead drum doesn’t mean I want to race, you better wake up, wannabe beng.
Civic turbo? Can only smell the BMW 330E ‘s fart! Apa racing lu cakap?
If like this, just buy the new lights(front/back) 2 make your older City 2 look like facelift.
Still need to replace front & rear bumpers.
not to mention wiring. cut your wires and you’ll void your warranty
I thought this is a game : Spot the difference
I like your comment dude…..
Mazda 2 interior and exterior more quality…
I preferred Mazda !
Same here, still pending to view 2017 face-lift M 2 for final decision between M2 and H City.
LOL buy Mazda 2? I better go to Civic TCP. Same price, more performace, more advance interface & meter panel.
Mazd*….When it comes to maintenance ….you’ll cry.
ppl know no diff….cannot sell…..thats why need do ad to highlight the “differences”
such big hype for a very minor change
just update quietly will do
when they launching? ZZZZzzz
we open bookings earlier than india, but india already selling it ^^
I think the old one looks damn good and more macho than the new one. The facelift looks like copy civic style, paste it and then it looks like a ‘cacat’ small civic
