The all-new Honda City recently made its official launch debut at the Thailand Motor Expo, and is available in four variants – S, V, SV and RS – in the Kingdom. The B-segment sedan has been significantly redesigned inside and out, but the biggest change lies under the bonnet, as it is now powered by a 1.0 litre (998 cc) turbocharged three-cylinder engine.
Said mill is a VTEC Turbo unit that provides 122 PS at 5,500 rpm and 173 Nm of torque from 2,000 to 4,500 rpm, with drive going to the front wheels via a CVT with seven virtual speeds. This is the only powertrain offering for the Thailand market, and ensures the City meets Thailand’s Phase 2 Eco Car regulations, which is stricter in terms of fuel economy and emissions.
In terms of dimensions, the new City is 113 mm longer (4,553 mm) and 53 mm wider (1,748 mm) than its predecessor, but with a 10 mm decrease in height (1,467 mm) and a wheelbase that is 11 mm shorter (2,589 mm).
The new exterior design is also “softer” and less aggressive than its predecessor, while the interior shares some cues from the latest Jazz. A first with the fifth-generation model is the choice of an RS variant, which is the range-topping option in Thailand, priced from 739,000 baht or RM102,061. Standard equipment includes automatic air-conditioning, an eight-inch infotainment system, multi-angle review camera, suede/fabric/leather upholstery, LED headlamps, and more.
This variant is what we’re focusing on in this walk-around video, with our own Jonathan Lee on hand to take you on a tour of the sedan. So, enjoy the video and let us know what you think of the newest iteration of the City in the comments below.

Looking to sell your car? Sell it with Carro.
1st question.
With experiences in using this engine in other markets for the past 2 years,
“What, if any, did Honda to to address the oil dilution”.
Thank you.
dilution problem only happen in winter condition like in Northern USA or Northern China.
how many articles do you need to post on the city turbo?
city start from rm100k
civic start from rm150k
accord start from rm200k
mission accomplished ,well done
I hope our brother john does not come here and claim that Saga and Persona are better than this game changer. Those 2 sedans are game over cars, some more cannot even compete with local rivals such as Axia and Bezza
strange.. I own a Bezza and I don’t feel like a game-changer.. It’s just a very… basic… car…
Sales figure meant everything, isn’t that what you said?
And Persona FL outsold City during the same period. So in your words, Persona FL have gameover’d City. That is what you are implying isn’t that right?
This new City with 1.0 turbo need to come into Malaysia as soon as possible. Its a C size car at if not more than RM95,000 it will be a market leader.
Nope. The new City is clearly a B-sized sedan.
meanwhile – Malaysia 2019 RM80k E spec Honda city 175/R15 tyre is too skinny, 4airbags, dont have 360cameras, no LED tail light, overpriced.
If they any manual turbo?
No spoiler 3rd brake light?
No touch panel AC?
No rear AC?
No dark interior trim?
No Honda Sense?
What is to justify the topkek pricing?
Ade turbo Manual ke?
takde feel RS pun, macam full spec biasa je
We’d feedback to Honda (M):
Simply add ‘RS’ wordings on the car doesn’t make a feel like (paying for) RS variant.
It’s direct injection, isn’t it? Concerned about carbon deposits
Look like a saga

(Like) Toyota Vios
(Dislike) Honda City
Honda city simply over priced.
1 Honda city, look thousand time, and still call first look.
Not that cheap for a car with 3-cylinder 1.0l engine.. Those ECO things just a cover-up
Is this honda city 2020 coming to malaysia ??…
It looks very much like 2019 Fiat Tipo.
