Honda Malaysia has introduced two limited edition variants of the City sedan and Jazz hatchback. The X Edition models, as they are known as, have been badged to showcase their ‘eXclusivity’, and will be limited to 450 and 300 units respectively.
Common to both vehicles are specially-dressed half-leather seats with X emblem badging, a unique trunk tray (also adorned with X marking) and daytime running lights. Both the City X and Jazz X look to be based on their respective mid-spec grade E versions.
No mechanical changes, both cars continuing on with a 1.5 litre SOHC i-VTEC engine offering 120 PS at 6,600 rpm and 145 Nm at 4,600 rpm, the engine paired a CVT gearbox.
The City X is priced at RM86,100, while the Jazz X goes for RM82,500 (both on-the-road, with insurance). The 450 units of the City X will be available in Modern Steel Metallic and Dark Ruby Red Pearl, while the 300 units of the Jazz X will be available in Modern Steel Metallic and Carnival Red exterior shades.
Honda Malaysia says the waiting period for the X Edition models, which of course come with a five-year, unlimited mileage warranty, extended service interval to every 10,000 km and six free labour services alternating with paid service till 100,000 km, is one month.

AI-generated Summary ✨
Comments on the blog post largely express disappointment with Honda Malaysia's X Edition City and Jazz variants, criticizing their minimal changes and high prices, which they compare unfavorably to aftermarket modifications or competitors' offerings. Several commenters view these editions as mere cosmetic upgrades that lack mechanical improvements, with some calling the models "ugly" or "tacky." There is skepticism about the purpose of such variants, suggesting they are designed to clear stock rather than offer real value, and some see them as a way for Honda to increase pricing while providing little in return. Opinions also touch on safety features, outdated engine parts, and Honda’s sales strategies, with many preferring properly modified or full-spec models from other regions or brands.
