VIDEO: Honda City facelift is all ready for delivery

The facelifted Honda City is about to get its Malaysian launch tomorrow, and thanks to the power of drones employed by Honda Malaysia, we can see that more than a few owners will be set to take delivery of their new B-segment sedans shortly after tomorrow’s debut.

The City’s mid-lifecycle update brings changes to both its interior and exterior. On the outside, redesigned headlights are joined by a new chrome bar, along with a revised grille featuring a new chrome strip and honeycomb mesh. Its front and rear bumpers have also been given a new profile. For Malaysia, the City range will be streamlined to three variants – S, E, and V, omitting the S+ variant from the pre-facelift line-up.

The range-topping V variant gets LED headlamps, tail lights, foglamps, and brake light. All City variants now get keyless entry and push-button engine start, with a multi-angle reverse camera added to the top V variant. In Thailand, the cabin gains redesigned seat fabric as well as LED map/room lighting. We’ve yet to see the local spec car’s interior.

Safety-wise, all variants get Vehicle Stability Assist, hill start assist and emergency stop signal; the V gets six airbags. Motive power is provided by the 1.5 litre i-VTEC naturally aspirated inline-four, paired to an Earth Dreams CVT for the driven front wheels; prior to confirmation at tomorrow’s launch, the powerplant’s outputs stand at 120 PS and 145 Nm of torque.

      Too many low cost cars meant for third world countries has indirectly jeopardised honda’s image and reputation to the extent that the brand is now associated with other below par brands like tata, lada, dacia, great wall, datsun…the list goes on…so much so that it has to launch its so called premium brand here acura just to compete with toyota…how sad

    That soundtrack gave people cancer. Wtf? How can anyone within Honda approve the music selection for this promotional video. Pathetic.

    Any vacancies in Honda? I’m having a hard time selling Toyota these days. Even second hand car dealers are having too many used Camry and Altis with them. Malaysians are no longer buying Toyota due to old technology and the cars are ovrpriced. My time is over and I need to switch to a different car brand.

    What does H stand for? It means hate. When u buy a Honda, you will hate when the Takata airbag fails to deploy. You will Hate everyday when your CVT behaves like a rubber band gear. You will live in Hush cause you will feel shy to friend anyone due to embarrassment.
