Overview
The Honda City is a five-seat B-segment sedan for buyers who want a conventional petrol or hybrid four-door with front-wheel drive and automatic transmission. Launched in 2026 in GN2/GN3 Facelift 2 form, it starts from RM89,900 for the 1.5 E and reaches RM111,900 for the e:HEV RS hybrid.
City in 2026 — what's new
The 2026 Honda City arrives with a new face, upgraded specifications and an eight-year warranty. The Malaysian sedan range comprises the 1.5 E, 1.5 V and 1.5 RS petrol models, plus the 1.5 e:HEV RS hybrid. Petrol versions use a 1,498 cc, 119 hp engine with a CVT, while the e:HEV RS has 205 hp and an eCVT.
Which variant to buy
The 1.5 E is the sensible starting point for most buyers: it shares the 1,498 cc, 119 hp petrol engine, front-wheel drive, CVT and five-seat layout of the V and RS, while costing least. The RM5,000 step to the V and another RM5,000 to the RS should be judged against their respective equipment lists. Pay RM111,900 for the e:HEV RS if the hybrid drivetrain and its 205 hp output matter more than the lower entry price.
Verdict
The new City gives buyers a clear four-model spread, from a straightforward 119 hp petrol sedan to a 205 hp hybrid. Its RM89,900 entry price is above the Nissan Almera’s RM83,888 starting point, but below the Toyota Vios from RM90,600 and MG 5 from RM93,800. Higher City variants move well beyond the listed B-segment rival price ceiling of RM93,800.
