Honda vehicles have proved to be a popular choice for patrol vehicles with the Royal Malaysian police (PDRM) in recent times, with the force first utilising 435 units of the Honda Civic FC 1.8L for the job back in 2020 before switching over to the Civic FE 1.5L Turbo earlier this year.
Now, the department looks to be adding the Honda City to its patrol vehicle fleet, if the sighting of a trailer load of the facelifted sedan, all kitted in PDRM livery, is any indication. A video clip uploaded on the Paultan.org Automotive Discussion Group page on Facebook shows six City sedans, complete with roof strobe lights, being moved on a transporter.
The petrol City sedan is powered by a 1.5 litre naturally-aspirated inline-four DOHC i-VTEC engine that delivers 121 PS (119 hp or 89 kW) at 6,600 rpm and 145 Nm at 4,300 rpm, with drive going to the front wheels via a CVT.
Expect to see posts about the new City patrol vehicle units, sourced by government vehicle fleet supplier Spanco, making the rounds on social media in the near future.

This Honda City are replacement for Proton Preve
City is to supplement Saga, Civic is the replacement for Preve since both are C segments.
Civic turbo? Why not S70 turbo?
City? Why not Saga/Persona?
Honda City again…
Why dont they use Proton S70 instead?
Because their ady using Civic in the C segmenter requirement. Why bother change again?
yeah right, why not use S70 for B segment? i think overall S70 offer much more than City
they can retain Civic as Waja/Preve in C segment..but do they really have to go for Honda again for lower demanding task/patrol?
Bulih kejar kete kami tak?
perodua bezza should be added too
Honda City again!!
Anyone knows how PDRM select the choice of vehicle for their fleet? I’ve seen Honda Civics, and I think a Mitsubishi suv, and of coz the countless Protons.
It would be beneficial to understand the rationale behind engaging an intermediary company like Spanco. Exploring the potential cost savings and advantages of dealing directly with Honda Malaysia or other car manufacturers would provide valuable insights into optimizing procurement strategies.
As long as it is not chinese cars then it is all good
City vs waja… waja kalah
Why not Proton S70!
PDRM has downgraded to city, civic is much powerful than civic
Mcm mana nak catch saya dgn seal saya.
Cvt power to lenjan crime car.can tahan cvt honda to lenjan extreme use.Will looks soon
Tax payer money will be wasted more. Honda car nowadays keep got issues on the cvt. Use Honda city as patrol car really a total no brainer. Dunno whose idea on this. Wait for cvt belt putus, then overhaul gearbox money from the tax payer la. Good job m well done
Must get cherry instead
Huhuhuhu, after 4-5 years CVT barai. ‘ Bruh pahal keta x jalan ni, dh lah kena kejar penjenayah ‘ then realize the CVT already putus huhuhu. Should they use S70 instead then City, S70 DCT, and City CVT? Guess who wins, guess who is faster, guess who has perfect handling and also more power. Don’t talk about quality, The City now also has many problems that SC even can’t solve it
