Honda Malaysia (HMSB) has announced that it has opened the order books for the 11th-gen Honda Civic facelift, which is set to be officially launched in January 2025. The arrival of the refreshed FE, which made its debut in Thailand in August, is a bit later than intended, as it was supposed to have been introduced before the year was out, one of the two new models planned for entry into Malaysia this year.
No mention of variants that will come with the refresh, but it should mirror that presently seen on the pre-FL that was launched here in January 2022, with four variants being offered in our market. These are three petrol units, the 1.5L E, 1.5L V and 1.5L RS, and an e:HEV 2.0L RS hybrid.
New exterior revisions include redesigned front and rear bumpers, with the front unit featuring hexagonal honeycomb mesh main and lower grille sections and a more jutting lower section, along with slimmer side air inlets. Mention is made of a new 18-inch matte grey alloy wheel design that will be available for the e:HEV RS.
As indicated on the facelift for Thailand, the present powertrains should carry over into the refresh unchanged. The petrol versions feature a 1.5 litre VTEC Turbo four-cylinder engine offering 182 PS at 6,000 rpm and 240 Nm of torque from 1,700 to 4,500 rpm, mated to a CVT.
Meanwhile, the e:HEV RS is equipped with an Intelligent Multi-Mode Drive (i-MMD) system, which pairs a 134 PS and 189 Nm 2.0 litre naturally-aspirated Atkinson-cycle four-cylinder engine, acting primarily as a generator, with an electric motor, which offers 184 PS (181 hp, or 135 kW) and 315 Nm from 0-2,000 rpm, with power sent to the front wheels via an electric CVT.
Equipment levels on the new car should also remain largely unchanged, from the single-zone air-conditioning on the petrol variants and a dual-zone AC on the hybrid to the Honda Connect suite of telematic services, presently available from the V grade on.
Some new bits do go on. It remains to be seen if all variant will get the nine-inch touchscreen head unit, which finally adds wireless Android Auto to join wireless Apple CarPlay connectivity. Also, the audio system has been bumped up for the e:HEV RS, with the previously seen eight-speaker system being replaced by a 12-speaker Bose Premium Audio setup.
As with the pre-FL, all variants of the refreshed Civic will feature the automaker’s Sensing suite of driver assistance systems. More on the Civic facelift when it makes its debut next month.
Looking to sell your car? Sell it with Carro.

BMW G20 LCI wannabe
Oh Okey… just a cosmetic upgrade.
No value dah. Sell at 80k maybe can sell. Everyone buy byd seal instead of this lapsap
This Civic has the worst bontot design.
Honda Japan n DRB are fully aware they r facing intense competition from the Chinese Evs,ICE,hybrids.
Toyota and Honda sales will be down in 2025 with the onslaught of the Chinese marques.
By the way,Honda still hasnt fixed the steering rack issue.
If u want a Honda,be prepared for a manufacturing defect with the steering rack.
Better than your shitty seal and G6
I don’t really like honda myself but you are clearly delusional lmao
lapsap still worth much RV

lapsap buyers will buy this lapsap… there u go

Steering rack problem fixed or not? if not then new buyers order siap2 lor upon purchase.
Honda Malaysia is a coward to hide behind its problem!
Getting worse quality!
most overrated brand in MY
If got back 1.8L NA variant without those useless sensing rm120k i buy.
we gotta hand it to chinese brands for equipping their cars to the brim in malaysia but yet still undercutting the pricing for most brands because i feel like if it weren’t for them, i do not think niceties like the bose sound system would ever make it to this civic. now, about that lanewatch tho…kill it with fire please.
Worse case ever – don’t be fooled!
Less than 1 year – steering rack repeated problem with loud creaking sound like the whole steering is falling off!
So dangerous to drive, hard to control.
Battery kaput, air-con kaput – win Best Defect Car of the Year!
Still fuckin lanewatch and no BSM
inb4 op no use side mirror
inb4 op rely too much on tech
inb4 blablabla
Japanese car manufacturers, master of facelift
Love honda civic. Would love to get one in near future. Wanna ask if steering rack issue is due to what reason? Manufacture fault or shifting up and down too much fault?
If Honda got steering rack issue, Chinese car had an axle problem. Both is problematics. In the end the winner always car maker and not consumer being it Japanese, Chinese or even Continental car..
