NEW HONDA CITY MMC IS NOW OPEN FOR BOOKING

1 February 2017 – Honda Malaysia’s best-selling model, the City is once again set to capture the hearts of Malaysians with bookings for the New City now being accepted at all 88 Honda authorised dealers nationwide from 1 February onwards. The enhanced New City is based on the success of the 4th generation model, which has proven itself to be a B-segment leader with more than 100,000 units sold since its launch in March 2014.

With class leading features, outstanding comfort and spaciousness as well as fuel efficiency and modern design, it is little wonder that the City is a hot favourite with Malaysians. The New City will bolster these traits further with more value added features which will appeal to young singles and families.

Powered by Honda’s signature 1.5L i-VTEC engine mated with Honda’s Earth Dreams Technology Continuous Variable Transmission (CVT) for all variants, the New City provides the ideal balance of driving performance and fuel efficiency.

The New City comes with new dual tone alloy wheels, further elevating the City’s sleek and stylish design. The V variant includes LED Headlights with LED Daytime Running Lights (DRL) and Front LED Fog Lights to give the New City a fresh exterior appearance. At the rear, the V variant is equipped with a Duck Tail Spoiler integrated with LED Brake Light, LED Taillights and a Multi-Angle Reverse Camera that not only improves the looks but also further enhances the practicality of the New City.

Trunk space remains the biggest in its class at 536Litres, making the New City the perfect sedan that is extremely convenient for road trips for everyone with its ample room for suitcases, baby prams or even golf bags.

In addition, all variants of the New City will be equipped with the Push Start Button and Smart Entry to provide extra convenience to customers. The New City will continue to set the benchmark in the B-segment safety with features such as Vehicle Stability Assist (VSA), Hill Start Assist (HSA) and Emergency Stop Signal (ESS) systems, which come as standard in all variants. VSA stabilizes the New City by reducing under/over steering when driving in unexpected situations or during tight cornering, HSA helps to prevent the vehicle from rolling backwards when the brakes are released on an incline, while ESS makes the rear brake lights and hazard lights flash automatically to warn nearby cars when the vehicle detects sudden braking. The premium V variant will also come with Six Airbags.

With its outstanding record and such value added features, the New City is positioning itself as a Trend Setter, being the sedan car that fulfills the needs of everyone - from design to performance and practicality.

Customers can be the first to own the New City when it is launched in the first quarter of this year by placing an advanced booking now at any authorised Honda dealers nationwide. For more information, please call Honda Toll Free number at 1-800-88-2020, or log on to www.honda.com.my
