We guessed so last month, and now Honda Malaysia has launched a special edition Honda City, the “2011 Honda City 3rd Generation Special Edition”, to give it its full name as per press release. Just 500 units of this City SE will be made available.
No mechanical changes, just aesthetics. The SE gets a full Modulo aero kit set that includes a front under spoiler, side under spoiler, rear under spoiler and duck tail spoiler. Besides those, SE owners get to choose a special number between 001 to 500 for their car. This number is then engraved on the door sill plate (side step), like ‘City SE 001’ for example. SE numbers will be obtained upon registration of the car.
Additionally, City SEs will come with “advanced nanotechnology solar control film” for all screens and windows. Available only in Polished Metal or Tafetta White, the City Special Edition is priced at RM92,890, which is RM2,500 more than the standard car. Honda Malaysia points out that the add-ons are worth over RM6,000, so you’re getting a good deal.
You can check out the City SE at any Honda dealer from now.

AI-generated Summary ✨
Comments mainly focus on the Honda City Special Edition being a stock clearance model with only minor aesthetic upgrades like body kits, tinted films, and a special serial number plate. Many believe the price is high for what it offers, considering it's essentially an embellished version of the standard model. Some comments express skepticism about the value, suggesting that the car's enhancements are superficial and marketing strategies to clear existing stock before a facelift. Others compare it unfavorably with competitors like Vios, Inspira, and Myvi, emphasizing better value and features from these alternatives. Overall, the sentiment is that the Special Edition is a marketing gimmick with limited appeal, and many commenters are waiting for the new model or other options with better value.
