Overview
The Honda City is a five-seat B-segment sedan with front-wheel drive, aimed at buyers who want a conventional petrol or hybrid four-door rather than an SUV. This GN2/GN3 facelift generation launched in 2023, and the range starts from RM84,900 for the 1.5 S.
City in 2026 — what's new
The 2026 Honda City facelift is in public-preview phase in Malaysia, with displays extending through the northern, East Coast and southern regions as well as Klang Valley locations. The RS petrol and e:HEV RS are the previewed versions, bringing a 10-inch touchscreen, 360-degree camera and Blind Spot Information System (BLIS). The current five-variant range comprises the 1.5 S, E, V, RS and e:HEV RS.

Which variant to buy
For most buyers, start with the RM84,900 1.5 S: it shares the 1,498 cc, 119 hp petrol engine, CVT, front-wheel drive and five-seat layout of the RM89,900 E, RM94,900 V and RM99,900 RS. Pay the extra only after checking the equipment list for the trim you want; on paper, the petrol models do not differ mechanically. The RM111,900 e:HEV RS is the one to choose if its 205 hp hybrid output matters enough to justify the RM27,000 step up from the S.

Honda City buyer's guides & reviews
Verdict
The City gives buyers a broad choice, from a straightforward 119 hp petrol sedan to a 205 hp hybrid. Its RM84,900 entry price is RM1,012 above the Nissan Almera’s starting point, but RM5,700 below the Toyota Vios and RM8,900 below the MG 5. The e:HEV RS sits well above the RM93,800 ceiling of those listed rivals, so its hybrid drivetrain needs to be the reason for paying more.
