Overview
The Honda City Hatchback is a five-seat B-segment hatchback with front-wheel drive and automatic transmissions across the range. It suits buyers seeking a petrol or petrol-hybrid hatchback, with 119 hp petrol versions or a 205 hp hybrid. Prices start at RM95,900.
City Hatchback in 2026 — what's new
The 2026 Honda City Hatchback facelift launches in Malaysia with the S and E variants removed. The line-up now consists of the V, RS Petrol and e:HEV RS. Changes include a new front-end design and a 10-inch touchscreen; blind-spot information and a 360-degree camera are also part of the facelift updates. It is built in Melaka.
Which variant to buy
Most buyers should choose the 1.5 V at RM95,900. It has the same listed 1,498 cc, 119 hp petrol engine, front-wheel drive and CVT as the RM100,900 1.5 RS Petrol. The RM5,000 step up therefore hinges on trim equipment. Pay RM12,000 more for the RM112,900 1.5 e:HEV RS when the hybrid drivetrain, eCVT and 205 hp output matter more than the lower entry price.
Verdict
The facelift keeps the City Hatchback focused on a five-seat B-segment formula, now with a 10-inch touchscreen and revised exterior. The two petrol variants share 119 hp, while the e:HEV RS is the 205 hp choice. More than 51,000 City Hatchbacks have been sold in Malaysia. Price needs thought: the entry V costs RM7,900 more than the Toyota Yaris.
