The fifth-generation Honda City has just been unveiled today, and it’s cars like these that generate a tonne of chatter. We’ve heard your thoughts and opinions on the design of the B-segment sedan, and some of you even questioned the move to downsize to a 1.0 litre turbocharged three-cylinder engine, which of course is one of its biggest highlights.
The 998 cc DOHC engine features a modest 10:1 compression ratio and direct injection technology. Output is 122 PS at 5,500 rpm and 173 Nm of torque from 2,000 to 4,500 rpm – boost comes courtesy of a BorgWarner single-scroll turbocharger. There is also dual Variable Valve Timing Control (VTC) and Variable Valve Timing and Lift Electronic Control (VTEC).
For now, the 1.0L engine is the sole unit offered in Thailand, and it’s exclusively paired with a continuously variable transmission (CVT) with seven virtual speeds. The rated fuel economy is impressive, at 23.8 km/l. There’s no manual gearboxes this time, guys, or at least not with the new engine.
In terms of dimensions, the new City is 113 mm longer (4,553 mm), 53 mm wider (1,748 mm), 10 mm less in height (1,467 mm), and loses 11 mm in the wheelbase compared to its predecessor (2,589 mm). However, Honda claims that NVH has improved – some panels are lined with polyurethane spray foam insulator, and the engine insulating sheet is thicker for better NVH.
Safety kit includes six airbags, hill start assist, a rear view camera and Isofix child seat anchors on the outer rear seats. In Thailand, the new City range starts from 579,500 baht (RM80,035) for the base S grade, and goes up to 609,000 baht (RM84,107) for the V. Meanwhile, the SV goes for 665,000 baht (RM91,848), while the range-topping RS is priced at 739,000 baht (RM102,061).

Dear admin.. I just browsing the Honda Thai website to see the city looks. Suprisingly on dimension data spec, the base S model got wheelbase at 2589mm while the V,SV and RS got whopping 2610mm which is 10mm larger than before. Can anyone can conform on this dimension is it truth or typo on website??
Correct 2589mm , turbo real smoked all cars Otr.
come to hear that time the dashboard with ‘leather’ lining will only be for top spec ^^
dont get too excited yet
Skali tgk mcm saga
eh eh yela..sekali tgk saga pun mcm city.
*sarcasm* #just afford a saga
Just a new engine and outlook?..what else are new?
Abuden? what else you want? old engine and same outlook, same interior, same same same same? You drunk or what ah boy?
u must be a toyota fanboi
Longer with a shorter wheelbase makes it look weird. Angle of attack will be affected.
Honda Malaysia – What is happening? Have you stopped work? What happened to the New Honda Accord and updated Civic?
Next year la. If everything to launch this year, then next year senyap.
It’s marketing.
The current trend is SUV and sales for big sedan take a dip in the last 2 years. Even Tan Chong don’t make any Sylphy now. that’s why Honda don’t even bother about the new Accord of Civic FL.
because they are still not decide the price yet
all car price will increase
civid with sensing = around 160k
new accord = around 200k
Based on the HRV launch, the Civic will launch HALF A YEAR after its first teaser.
Janan kacau la Datuk, diorang tengah tido tu
Jangan kacau la Datuk, diorang tengah tido tu
Habeslah proton persona.. Jauh ketinggalan..
What else do you want? 6 Wheels and 2 steering wheel?
car prices are getting too high, with camry Rm190k nowadays this car may be close to 90k. but i think this car will still sell better than vios, mazda 2 and almeira. its got better mileage and newer engine. But i agree, there is nothing else new in this car. But maybe that’s exactly the point!.

This is apparently is like a RM58k to RM74k, if you live and work in Thailand.
so tomyamland get the latest model, new factory, new tech and more jobs. where Malaysia get delay model, no new factory, reduce tech, more expensive and no jobs opportunity… what the hell the G doing… tido ke…
Those who asked for hp / torque will probably be happy. Those who asked “berapa cc” or “one point ?” will not be.
Why the new added insulation? Is it because the current city is lacking it or the new turbo engine is noisier?
Give it 1.0 turbo engine yet pair it with glass transmission and slap 80k on it..smh
Looks are good, hope it “drives” well. Hope you guys can get a spin in the new City 5th gen and answer on the questions that will arise such as the power delivery, cruising and Feel of a 3 pot. I personally would want to see in a real life test on the so call claimed 23.8km / litter test. Maybe we can get at least in the area of 18-20km/ litter. That would be great. Thought I think if power can be upped when there is the availability of piggy back ECU to spice up things.
A good write up guys, Paultan 2 thumbs up. Hope that 2020 will be great for the Honda city as a preferred city car for Malaysian.
Proton City looks so good.haha..nevertheless its a disappointment they down grade touch control AC.meter panel worst than current City hybrid.specs wise just engine update.turbo well known for easy to breakdown but give or take it is powerful engine.and aftermarket looks like head unit makes me sad
