Honda
Malaysia is now accepting orders for the 2017 Honda City (facelift), ahead of
its market launch in the coming days. It is the second Asian market to receive
the facelifted City, following Thailand.
The 2017 Honda
City features redesigned LED headlamps flanking a bolder chrome grille inspired
by the Honda Civic, sportier front bumper design with fog lamps, 16-inch
diamond cut alloy rims (15-inch alloy rims in the middle grades) and a
reprofiled rear bumper. Exclusive to the Malaysia-spec City are ducktail
spoiler with integrated third brake light and LED-powered taillights.
Inside, the new Honda City continues with an
all-black interior contrasted by gun-metal trim on the dashboard and door
cards. It could also get new fabric
upholstery, and LED-powered cabin lights. The new City will get a keyless entry
with push-button start, and Vehicle Stability Assist as standard across the
range, while the City V grade comes with a multi-angle reverse camera and six
airbags.
Under the hood, the new Honda City for Malaysia will
pack a 1.5L i-VTEC petrol engine paired with an EarthDreams CVT, which produces
117 hp at 6,600 rpm and 146 Nm at 4,600 rpm.
