Overview
The Honda City is a five-seat B-segment sedan for buyers who want a conventional four-door rather than a hatchback or SUV. The Malaysian GN2/GN3 facelift range starts at RM84,900 and runs petrol CVT and petrol-hybrid e:HEV drivetrains, with the cheapest four variants sharing a 1.5-litre 119 hp petrol engine.
City in 2026 — what's new
In Malaysia, the City carries on into 2026 as the GN2/GN3 facelift launched in 2023. The 2026 City facelift news so far is from India and Thailand, where the model has a radical new face plus items such as a 10-inch touchscreen, 360-degree camera, ambient lighting and ventilated seats. None of those updates changes the Malaysian line-up yet: S, E, V, RS and e:HEV RS remain the current range.

Which variant to buy
On paper, the 1.5 S (RM84,900), 1.5 E (RM89,900), 1.5 V (RM94,900) and 1.5 RS (RM99,900) use the same 1,498 cc 119 hp petrol engine, CVT automatic and five-seat layout. That makes the S the sensible default if you are buying by mechanical spec. Move up to E, V or RS only after checking the equipment you want. The 1.5 e:HEV RS (RM111,900) is the one to pay more for if you specifically want the petrol-hybrid eCVT drivetrain.

Honda City buyer's guides & reviews
Verdict
The City’s case is simple: a five-seat sedan body, 1.5-litre petrol CVT choices and a hybrid at the top. Price is the catch. It starts above the Proton Persona and Nissan Almera, and the RM111,900 e:HEV RS sits beyond the RM93,800 top of the same-class rival price span. There are stronger spec-sheet plays too, with the Proton S70 undercutting the City and Toyota Vios on price while having more power.
