2022 Honda City Hatchback bookings open in Malaysia

KUALA LUMPUR: After teasing the arrival of the all-new City Hatchback a couple of times, Honda Malaysia has finally opened the order books for this energetic hatch. Loaded with first-in-class and class-leading features, the car is supposed to step up the game for the No.1 non-national car brand in Malaysia. So, without further ado, let’s dive into the City Hatchback specs sheet.

Honda offers the 2022 Honda City Hatchback with two different engine options - Petrol and e:HEV. The former is a 1.5-litre DOHC i-VTEC unit generating a maximum power output of 121 PS and a peak torque of 145 Nm. 

The range-topping RS trim gets an e:HEV hybrid mill, comprising a 1.5-litre Sports intelligent Multi-Mode Drive (i-MMD) hybrid engine and two electric motors. Combinedly, the system generates 109 PS and 253 Nm of torque (highest in the segment).

Now moving on to the City Hatchback first-in-class features, the car comes equipped with 4 modes ULTRA seats, which are ergonomically designed for multiple seating layouts. Four modes are Refresh, Long, Tall, and Utility. Another first-in-class feature you can get with the City Hatchback is Remote Engine Start that allows you to start the engine even when you are away from the car.

Adding to the list is the Honda LaneWatch that comes with a camera positioned below the passenger-side mirror and displays the rear view on the screen. The car also has Honda Sensing advanced-driver assistance kit, which includes lane keep assist, lane departure warning, road departure mitigation, forward collision warning, adaptive cruise control, and auto high beam.

Some other exciting bits you can find on the City Hatchback specs sheet are the electric parking brake and rear air-conditioning ventilation.

On the exterior, both V and RS models feature LED headlights with LED DRLs, LED fog lights, LED tail lights, and 16-inch wheels. However, the RS trim sets itself apart with a high-gloss piano black front grille, solid wing, and RS-specific exterior trimmings. 

The interested folks can now book their new City Hatchback at any Honda dealership nationwide.
