7 important facts you should know before the new Honda City 2020 is released!

So far, the Honda City malaysia advertisements released by Honda Malaysia are very vivid and aroused great excitement because the acah elements displayed by the company are very bold. Next, we will analyze some facts about Honda City.

1. Why only mention the new engine of Honda City?

It is powered by an electric motor producing 109 PS/253 Nm torque and an engine producing 98 PS/127 Nm torque. Since the electric motor and the engine rotate at different speeds, this number cannot be directly increased. Therefore, we must wait during transmission to find out the overall power combination.

The combination of electric motor and gasoline engine is wise, because it does not require a gearbox!

However, this technique is only used in RS variants. Models of Trim V and below will receive a new 1.5-liter naturally aspirated engine DOHC, which is used for the first time in Honda City, India.

The engine produces 121 PS and 145 Nm of torque (based on Indian specifications). It will be matched with a 7-speed CVT because the manual transmission is no longer relevant to our market.

2. What is the story of the turbo engine? Why not enter Malaysia?

The engine is specifically designed to enter the Thai market, which can provide tax relief for vehicles that meet the EcoCar standard. Malaysia has no incentives for small engines with low fuel efficiency. Therefore, the 1.5-liter i-MMD engine is more suitable for our market. For reference, the i-MMD engine is used on Honda Jazz in Japan. Its recorded fuel consumption figure is 3.47 liters/100 kilometers. For ordinary engines, Honda’s fuel consumption is 5.4 liters/100 kilometers. Compared with the old SOHC engine, this is a good improvement. At the same distance, it consumes 5.7 liters.

3. What is the quality of comfort and handling?

Critics from India and Thailand said that the new city has made significant improvements to previous models. First of all, Indian media commented that Xincheng’s CVT gearbox is one of the best gearboxes they have tested. Autofun also commented that the CVT gearbox this time feels very smooth and high-quality.

In terms of handling, the two commenters shared the view that City felt a little sluggish when turning at high speed. This may be due to comfort-oriented suspension adjustments, so it was modified to make it softer.

4. How about the cabin?

At first, many commentators said that it was built based on the learning and advantages of previous models. However, Autofun thinks it looks and feels quite cheap, especially in the dashboard part. Except for the sealing material, the NVH rate should be better than previous models.

The center of the dashboard is equipped with an 8-inch touch screen, close to the front passenger. It manages an infotainment system equipped with Apple CarPlay / Android Auto support (based on Thai and Indian specifications).

At the same time, the instrument panel part of the instrument is equipped with 2 analog instruments with digital information display in the middle.

5. What are the safety features?

Honda Malaysia has confirmed that the RS variant will have LaneWatch functionality. Thailand’s Honda RS variant is also equipped with 6 airbags and 4 V variant airbags. In addition, all models in Thailand are equipped with ABS, EBD, ESC and HSA systems. The RS variant has other features, such as a 360-degree camera system.

6. Has the price been announced?

Honda City now enjoys SST duty-free prices, ranging from 75,295.36 MYR (S) to 87,709.73 MYR (V). With some additional features and functions, the price of this new model may increase slightly.

7. Who is the closest competitor?

These include the new Nissan Almera and the recently updated Toyota Vios. At the end of this year or early next year, when Malaysian B-class vehicles enter the market, they will be surrounded by many outstanding manufacturers.
