Overview
The Honda City Hatchback is a five-seat B-segment hatchback for buyers who want a conventional petrol automatic or a petrol-hybrid alternative in the same body style. The 2024-launched GN5/GN6 facelift range starts from RM85,900, with front-wheel drive throughout and a choice of CVT or eCVT transmissions.
City Hatchback in 2026 — what's new
For 2026, the City Hatchback receives a facelift and is open for booking in Malaysia. The update brings a new front-end appearance, a 10-inch touchscreen, blind-spot information system and a 360-degree camera. The range continues with four 1.5-litre petrol variants — S, E, V and RS Petrol — plus the 1.5 e:HEV RS hybrid. Phoenix Orange Pearl remains an exterior colour choice alongside red, silver, grey and pearl white.
Which variant to buy
Most buyers should start with the 1.5 S at RM85,900: it has the same 1,498 cc, 119 hp petrol engine, front-wheel drive and CVT as the E at RM90,900, V at RM95,900 and RS Petrol at RM100,900. Check the equipment list before moving up those trim grades, because the mechanical package does not change. The RM112,900 1.5 e:HEV RS is the one to pay more for if the hybrid powertrain and its 205 hp output are the priority.
Verdict
The City Hatchback gives buyers a properly structured five-variant range rather than a single-specification hatch. Its petrol models keep the choice straightforward, all using a 119 hp 1.5-litre engine and CVT, while the e:HEV RS provides a distinct 205 hp hybrid alternative. At RM85,900, the entry S sits below the Toyota Yaris from RM88,000; the hybrid sits above it by a substantial margin.
