With Thailand having received the Honda Civic hatchback in March this year, the Japanese automaker has launched the five-door version of the Civic FC in Indonesia, at Rp438,000,000 (RM140,529) for the E variant and Rp399,000,000 (RM128,003) for the S variant.
Like its Thai counterpart, the Indonesian-market Civic hatchback is specified with a 1.5 litre turbocharged inline-four petrol engine producing 172 PS at 5,500 rpm and 225 Nm of torque from 1,750 rpm to 5,500 rpm, sent to the front wheels via Honda’s Earth Dreams CVT. As with Thailand, there’s no six-speed manual option, which is available in the United States and Europe.
Indonesia gets a seven-inch touchscreen with wireless mirroring for Android and iOS devices in the E variant, while the S gets HDMI support – both receive USB and auxiliary audio ports, and a multi-function steering wheel with audio and telephone controls. The Smart Key enables air-con control for remote activation, along with Smart Entry and cruise control.
In terms of safety equipment, the Indonesian market Civic hatchback includes Hill Start Assist, Vehicle Stability Assist, Anti-lock Braking System (ABS) with Electronic Brake-force Distribution (EBD) and Brake Assist (BA), and Brake Override System. The E variant gains six airbags, while the S variant makes do with dual front airbags.
With our two of our Asean neighbours receiving the current, tenth-generation Civic in hatchback guise, would you like to see it ply our roads, fellow Malaysians?

Macam Suprima tapi bukan…
All good cars and variants are launched in Indonesia or Thailand. Both our neighbors have overtaken us. Car companies that CKD in Malaysia also might close shop here and open in Thailand cause the Thai Government got vision to build their country’s automotive sector further.
Thai and Indon are so lucky to see so many models in their lineup.
Because our population is much less. To help the auto market how about you buy every car sold in malaysia
Can ask the Abang 2 with 5 kids to help buy? Since they are the majority?
Abang 2? Why not ask Abang 1 too?
Ask Abang or ask Ahbeng?
Malaysia market is too small. Even Civic not doing expected result despite bombastic marketing. However SUV growth still advancing.
C-segment hatchbacks don’t sell well in this country because everyone would rather go buy a C-segment or even B-segment SUV
Time for KK to quote MY prices… oh wai
Harge P1 Gen2… oh wai
Gen2 was never this exp, bodo.
HM please bring it come here..so can modify to alike Type R fk8
Malaysia?
Interesting pricing…. if those were CBU from Thailand (Prachin Bhuri factory).
That means Indonesia car taxes for ASEAN CBU are the same as our CKD.
Tipulah… last time someone said new Civic only cost 60k and City only cost 40k in Indonesia..
Totally wrong. In Indonesia, tax for sedan is much higher than a hatch or mpv. So demand for small sedan like a vios or city is very small.
Dear Mr Akkbar Danial @ Honda Malaysia, please bring this Civic HB to Malaysia. You cooperation really appreciated. Please..seriously. Thanks Mr. Akkbar.
The Power Of Dream.
All those good models were launched in neighbouring countries,where else we got crappy JazzZzzz
Despite being the best supporter of Honda in this region, Honda Malaysia don’t give a damn about what we really wanted.
Ioniq HB
No need if the price is higher than the sedan. Serious.
As we know that c segment sedan is selling more than the hatchback in Malaysia. I don’t think HM will bring this hatch but why not give a try. Many Honda fanboys including AH Beng will love it for sure to convert it like acah2 type R
Hipster Biar Papa Asal Bergaya love acah2 type R jugak
Well what do you know. Maybe its a positive sign that the hatchback will come to Malaysia after all. Though it might be priced slightly higher than the sedan as it won’t be a volume seller. But you will feel special in it, cos not many Malaysians will want one, thinking it won’t have boot space. Don’t let the short rear overhang fool you, as boot space is still cavernous. And gotta love the innovative rear parcel shelf that can roll up for easy storage. Looking forward to seeing the hatchback in Malaysia. The last time we had a Civic hatchback here was the early to mid 90s. That car still looks great today.
indonesia late to launch city compared to us, but faster to launch civic hatchback ^^
No problem. We can wait for Type R version.
Yup, because indonesian tax for sedan is much higher than a hatcback or MPV. So small sedan like a Vios or City only has very small market.
I dun buy car with big nostrils
