March must be a very lucky month for the auto industry. Not only did Perodua achieve its best ever monthly figures, now Honda Malaysia has announced that the 4,041 units it sold in that month is the highest ever in the company’s history. March was the biggest contributor to Honda Malaysia’s first quarter sales of 10,025 units, and they are looking good to meet the annual target of 40,000 units, especially when a new model will join the range next week.
The B-segment City was responsible for 43% of the total sales, with more than 4,000 units sold. Honda Malaysia would be happy to maintain City sales at this level with fresh rivals in this price segment – besides the C-segment Kia Forte, buyers can opt for superminis like the Mazda 2 and soon to be launched Ford Fiesta.
The just facelifted CR-V has done well too – 556 units have been sold while 1,600 of bookings are in line. The Accord and Civic respectively contributed 19% and 18% to the total sales, while CBUs models Jazz and Stream stood at 6%.
It’s no longer a secret now that the new model is the Freed, which is described by Honda as a “compact premium MPV”. The seven-seater based on the Jazz/City platform will be launched on 22 April. Click here for a “plant tour” of PT Honda Prospect Motor Indonesia, where our Freed will roll out from. Watch this space for the launch report.

Congrat to Honda M’sia.
Ppl are buying Honda City for the looks thats all.In real life driving,its sucks big time..
.. either you’re a dugong driver or you’re too poor to own a city, no?
hit 210 km/h from sg besi toll to ukm interchange after one dugong cucuk me.
New city is better in term of handling compared to prev one
210kmh with city??city can only run up to 190 only….
Typo error though…
I think he wanna type 120… not 210 or else.. at the downhill section where u get 210 for one second while the rest is just 160kmh… he he he
compare to what?
Check out the Blue honda city in the pic,only one light working?
Hahaha..typical Honda’s bad QC & built quality
This subject to Malacca plant product only. For JDM, its truly the power of dreams.
no lah.dia sakit mata.PIRATE sebelah mata dah kapoot
i can see both light is on. maybe ur optical illusion.
no lah…it’s just because the camera angle maa….
Hi danny, has Honda Malaysia announce any tentative pricing for the freed?
Premium Compact MPV = comfirm very expensive for a GL/Rondo/Exora class small mpv…but ppl will still buy ..Its Honda!
115k
My guess will be between 108k to 112k. Reason is not to kill sales of their own model. e.g Civic 114k Jazz 105k.
You’ll have to wait till next week for the “surprise” :)
This is good news for Honda.
A positive indication that our economy is picking up again.
Bravo!!
City – 1752 units
Civic – 718 units
Accord – 766 units
Good job.. at least they are on the right track.
let’s see how much FREED will be sold here… 120k???
Honda Civic / City is in my wishlist :D
well congrats to Honda… a good car will speak for themselves, no surprise they’re doing better and better.
my coment lost hah?
nice..~~
No surprise. Popular carmakers recorded increased sales in March due to anticipated hike in interest rates in April or 3rd week of March. Let’s see the figures in April then.
You’re right. In fact it already rise from 3.75 to 4pc when the Persona Elegance launched.
I don’t think this is an isolated case. I think almost all car companies will hit their sales target since there’s not a better time to buy a new car then now, with interest rates low. It bodes well for the current economic situation of the country.
where is the white city??
Wow.. I thought Toyota the best seller..
Dunno that Honda is much bigger sales than Vios
Zol,
Who said Honda sales is better than Vios?
Well Done, HONDA, the prestigious performance.
haiyaa..every year sales increased which contribute to massive jammed lorr..p2 honda tyota all increase! what about lrt public transport? plate number oso faster..whats gonna be after plate wilayah reach WYY9999?
I saw a Protong with a newer license plate wilayah. So no worries.
W 2* S = Alphabet Number Alphabet
As for better public transport, we could wait until kingdom comes.
Your point in bringin proton name is for what?
its a temporary number plate ma that not yet registered by jpj…
it use by proton dealer to sent to the respective owner.
Bro.. its called trade plate… not only for proton la…
its for traders to transport the car la bro… it being used for small delivery purpose like 2 or 3 units which is not justify enough to rent a trailer
i see a lot honda city on the road now. Good design , look elegance.. good job HONDA,
the true power of dream..
in singapore new wish n freed already a standard taxi..
the design is v weired….front look futuristic but the rear outdated….last time the car just donno which 1 is front and back…
I tried one City belongs to my cousin, a bit sluggish climbing up Bukit Lanjan.. I dont like the steering wheels, not comfortable grip while driving..
congrats Honda – The Power Of Dreams…
bravo!!! great job!!!
I like the upcoming Honda Freed ..been riding on it for 3 days in Bandung but its to small for price above 100k
If one opens New Honda City page in facebook, one will be disappointed bcoz of the rust issue on this NHC. Really hope Honda Malaysia will do something about it, bcoz i have booked one and it’s coming soon..
