Honda Malaysia announced yesterday on its social media pages that its “12.12 Special Rebate” promo, which offers RM2,000 off the new Honda City, has been extended to December 31 due to popular demand. The offer was originally earmarked for the first twelve days of December.
To recap, here’s the deal. Honda is offering a rebate of RM2,000 for the City S and E variants. The V – which is the range-topping 1.5L petrol variant until the City RS i-MMD hybrid joins the family next year – is excluded from the promo as it’s the top-selling variant now.
Booking and registration of the car must happen before December 31. Customers will receive the rebate once they fulfil both booking and registration requirements at dealerships nationwide. Of course, buying the car this year means that one will also enjoy the 2020 sales tax exemption from the government.
The petrol City variants are powered by a 1.5 litre naturally-aspirated i-VTEC engine, which is a new DOHC version with 121 PS/145 Nm. Power goes to the front wheels via a CVT gearbox. Claimed average fuel consumption is 5.4 litres per 100 km, or 18.5 km/l. The E and V variants get steering paddle shifters.
Prices for the City S, E and V are RM74,191, RM81,664 and RM86,561 respectively, on-the-road excluding insurance, before the 12.12 rebate. When the 2020 sales tax exemption expires, next year’s prices for the City will be RM76,800, RM84,800 and RM89,800. The price of the RS hybrid is yet to be announced.

Looking to sell your car? Sell it with Carro.
Only 17 days left in 2020, minus saturday, sunday, christmas how many working days are left. Not forgetting JPJ’s system down. So sure can register the new car in this small window?
JPJ’s fast & efficient. Confirm can register, get Honda City now!
Your Excellency Azrai..you are damn correct. Within 2 weeks,with Christmas holidays..the poor buyer has to fork out extra Rm4600 come Jan 1,when the rebate and SSt tax holiday have expired.
In European countries,they say this is a scam and Honda will get lawsuits left ,right,centre.
How can our Menteri in charge of this keep quiet?Just disgusting Honda malaysia resort to this type of gimmick ,knowing fully well they cant fulfill all the new orders.
Pui.Shambolic.
If the car buyer cant get the car by 31st Dec thro no fault of his own,he only gets Rm2K rebate but has to fork out RM2600 as tax come Jan 1,2021.
So Mr.Honda car loyalist,if u really want to get the car by DEC 31,u save RM4600.Minus the weekends,u only have about 14 working days.I dont think Honda can fulfill all the coming orders.
Honda Malaysia should give the Rm2600 as incentives until CNY as appreciation shown by the hardcore diehard Honda fanboys,who still want to brave covid and buy.
Government may announce sst exemption extension on 1/1/2021…so for those who buy now might Amkan…lol
This RM2k discount is meaningless.
With or without this discount, some salesperson will offer more discounts from their own commission if they really want the sale.
Just ask for the ‘extra’ discount’. You will be surprised. Competition for sales is tight among the salesperson of the same brand.
In other words, cannot sell.
Howdy all potential buyers. Make sure you check and do your research on this model’s problematic brake disc and rock and roll suspension problems that has been plaguing existing Honda City cars on the road for years ok? No harm doing a little due diligence before committing yourself to 3-5-7 years. Merry Xmas!
Honda, if you cant deliver, we call this a scam.
