2017 Honda City previewed ahead of launch

Honda Malaysia has unveiled the new City prior to its launch showcasing its exterior features. The new City is essentially a facelifted one, with some updates inside out. Honda is still being secretive on the details of the total variants to be offered, but it is revealed that the range-topping V variant will be loaded with fancy kit.

Dubbed as “C-segment features at B-segment prices”, the V variant of the new City is equipped with full LED headlights, daytime running lights (DRLs) and LED front fog lights,tail lights and a third brake light integrated into the duck tail spoiler. The new City will also get new 16-inch dual-tone alloy wheels to replace the outgoing turbine-like-wheels.

Coming to the powertrain, the new car is powered by the familiar 1.5-litre i-VTEC engine mated to Honda’s ‘Earth Dreams Technology’ CVT gearbox. This drivetrain powers all the variants across the board. We could not get the interior details because of the blacked-out windows.

The good news is, safety has been enhanced as the new City gets Vehicle Stability Assist (VSA), Hill Start Assist (HAS) and Emergency Stop Signal (ESS) as standard. The top-of-the-line V variant gets six airbags.

Bookings for the new City has commenced , and the car is expected to be launched some time in March. For more information, please call Honda's toll-free number at 1-800-88-2020 or log on to www.honda.com.my
