Honda Malaysia has finally introduced the City Hatchback V-Sensing. Like its sedan counterpart, it sits between the City V and range-topping City RS, and is priced at RM 91,708 (SST-exempt sum, applicable until June 30, 2022). Included in the price is a five-year unlimited-mileage warranty and five times free labour for servicing. Now with Sensing, it features seven of the advanced driver assistance systems (camera-based) previously reserved for the RS. Those include adaptive cruise control, autonomous emergency braking with pedestrian, cyclist and oncoming vehicle detection, forward collision warning, lane keep assist system, road departure mitigation, lane departure warning, and auto high beam.
All this for just RM 3,848 over the regular
V? That’s a good deal right there. So good in fact that 34% of all the City
sold in Q1 2022 were equipped with Honda Sensing. The rest of the kit remains
the same as the V, so there’s still Honda LaneWatch, reverse camera, six
airbags, full LED headlights, LED combination tail lights, 16-inch wheels, an
eight-inch infotainment touchscreen with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, and eight
speakers.
As per the sedan, the hatch also has Honda
Connect services that include automatic collision and alarm detection, speed
and geofencing alerts, a vehicle locator and emergency calls. The smartphone
app also allows users to check their vehicle status, control their car remotely
and be reminded of their next service.
The City Hatchback is available in five
exterior colours, including the new Ignite Red and Meteorite Grey Metallic. The
three other hues shared with the sedan are Platinum White and Crystal Black
Pearl and Lunar Silver Metallic.
