Overview
The 2026 Honda City is a five-seat B-segment sedan for buyers choosing between a petrol CVT and a hybrid eCVT in one model line. It starts from RM89,900, with 1.5 E, V and RS petrol trims joined by the e:HEV RS hybrid. Front-wheel drive is standard throughout.
City in 2026 — what's new
Launched for 2026, the facelifted Honda City arrives with a new face, upgraded specifications and an eight-year warranty. The range comprises 1.5 E, 1.5 V, 1.5 RS and 1.5 e:HEV RS. The petrol RS and e:HEV RS bring a 10-inch touchscreen, 360-degree camera and blind-spot information system to the facelift story.
Which variant to buy
Most buyers should start with the RM89,900 1.5 E: it uses the same 1,498 cc, 119 hp petrol engine, CVT and front-wheel-drive layout as the RM94,900 V and RM99,900 RS. The RM5,000 step to V and RM10,000 to RS are trim decisions on paper, so check the equipment lists before spending more. Choose the RM111,900 e:HEV RS only if the hybrid eCVT and 205 hp output justify the RM22,000 jump from E.
Verdict
The City covers both straightforward petrol-sedan duty and a more powerful hybrid alternative in one four-variant range. Its entry price is RM6,012 above the Nissan Almera's starting point, but RM700 below the Toyota Vios and RM3,900 below the MG 5. The price ladder rises quickly beyond those rivals' starting prices, while the facelift adds a new face and RS-focused technology.
