The big debut last week was undoubtedly the facelifted Honda City – the B-segment sedan was given a shot in the arm with a fresh new look and a glut of extra equipment.
Cosmetic revisions include a redesigned front end with reshaped headlights (now with LED daytime running lights across the range, V spec gains LED headlights and fog lights), a new grille and reprofiled air intakes, while the rear receives a sportier bumper design and LED tail lights and a ducktail spoiler for the V variant. There are new two-tone alloy wheels too, measuring 15 and 16 inches (no more steel wheels for the S).
Inside, changes are limited to gunmetal grey trim, white backlighting for the instrument cluster, a new Civic-style engine start button and a new double-DIN 6.8-inch touchscreen infotainment system for the E and V models. These two variants also finally receive a reverse camera, sorely missing on the outgoing model. Meanwhile, the S variant ditches its basic single-DIN radio for an integrated unit with Bluetooth. The mechanicals – 1.5 litre i-VTEC engine, mated to a CVT – remain unchanged.
But the big change is the level of standard equipment on all models, with the S trim in particular receiving plenty of kit (it essentially replaces the old S+ model) for a modest RM2,200 price increase, and the other variants also getting additional equipment at no extra cost. So it’s only fitting that we provide you with a full spec-by-spec breakdown on all models, inclusive of on-the-road pricing (with insurance).
