We carried some leaked brochure scans of the Honda City facelift last week. The brochure, from Thailand, gave us pretty good looks at the changes made, both in and out. Now, the City has been officially launched in the Land of Smiles, and this TVC (featuring very good looking talent) confirms what we’ve seen.
As a recap, up front, there are slight changes to the grille design (bigger gaps in the side sections), which remains instantly recognisable as a City. The whole bumper is new, changing from the current U shape to an X shape. The seven double-spoke design wheels seen on this Thai SV spec are also new.
At the back, the City’s unique tail lamps come in a new design featuring two clear stripes, and there’s a new lower bumper incorporating a diffuser style insert painted in black, with reflectors on each side. Inside, everything looks the same, except for the dials, which are now accented in blue instead of orange. There’s also an ECO indicator that lights up when you’re being light footed.
Available in three trim levels – S, V and SV – the facelifted City is priced between 559,000 baht to 704,000 baht in Thailand.
Looking to sell your car? Sell it with Carro.
what is “facefift”?
Danny…typo?
Yup. Corrected!
This kind of car is safe only if you drive it in city, not meant for highway driving.
it is safe as long as it is on the road and the driver remember to bring along his / her brain
you are so clever
Only bodohman will buy a Honda City. Size is too big for a B-segment, and the City is roughly the size of a C-segment car.
city leg room for rear passenger is nice.bcoz the fuel tank is located below the driver seat if im not mistaken
Only a bodohman would gave such commment
nvr see any comment more bodoh than this man!!! LOSER!!!

Very nice lady!
azaming..
ko berazam nak beli Honda City ke?

Persona SE lagi-lagi best than this.
If that is the case, then Persona should be outselling city in thailand. when people vote with their money, they vote wisely.
This model got paddle shift, how about the current one?
Our City has paddle shift what.
u must be from thailand
the only thing i fancy is the eco indicator
other than that i prefer the pre facelift
Not sure whether Honda is adding the Econ button as well there.
if i were told that this is the old model.. i just believe it.. not much different and the rear lamp.. adoi.. for me.. (remember i said “for me”) doesn’t the overall design….other then this honda.. malaysian sure buy one… nee MODEL they said instead of facelift

Conservative drivers including myself would love to have the ECO indicator, not as good as Insight but it’s nice :].
OMG…face lift already launched. Good….very soon,I hope the next generation Honda City will be available after a year.

Thumbs up if you clicked on the girls first.
don’t call other people bodoh…….each car got ppl will admire…starting from smallest like viva to biggest like Vellfire…different people, people choices…..dont be such a jerk….if u don’t like the car, give ur damn comment to the CAR. not calling people bodoh…..i owned a city for my wife to use, a 5 Series for me and Alphard for the whole family. Does it mean u are smarter than me? no rite? ….. think before u type/speak…..typical basher who don’t know anything but keep spamming the blog…
Agreed!
why do a lot of thai ads feature non-thai looking talents?? do they have a complex or something?
this morning i saw honda city was hit by iswara at the back.. u know wat.. that city completely total loss at the back.. thats really scared me..
I see why people call the iswara “kereta kebal”
with the too subtle changes on the city, the advertisement is more focused on the pretty chick. Ha!
The City is very nice. But I will take the girl.
I think Honda Malaysia should offer Honda City in Manual same as Thailand version.
Agreed. That’s the reason why Toyota Vios dugong can easily tapau Honda City sales even though the Vios is as ugly as a dugong. There are still plenty of people out there who at least want to own one but cannot afford for expensive price… and they never mind about getting the most cikai version with normal cap ayam radios instead of integrated radios, plastic covered non-sport rims, and manual transmission.
Honda Malaysia thinks their sell the Premium brand.
