Honda City and Accord get new Meteorite Grey body colour

KUALA LUMPUR: Honda Malaysia has introduced new colour options for the City and the Accord to provide more attractive colour choices to customers.

Both models now come with a new Meteoroid Grey Metallic colour that replaces the existing Modern Steel Metallic colour, while the City receives the new Ignite Red Metallic colour option, replacing the Passion Red Pearl colour. 

According to Honda Malaysia, both colours which are also available for the all-new Civic have been well accepted by the market, which is why they are being offered on the City and the Accord.

To-date, there are more than 32,500 units of the Honda City on Malaysian roads since its launch, making it Honda Malaysia’s best-selling model in January and February 2022 with 38% contribution to the company’s overall sales during that period. 

The City RS e:HEV variant is powered by a 1.5L Sports intelligent Multi-Mode Drive (i-MMD) powertrain, delivering a power output of 109 PS and segment-leading 253 Nm torque that is equivalent to a naturally aspirated D-segment car engine’s performance.  

Meanwhile, the V-Sensing, V, E, and S petrol variants of the City also offer impressive driving performance with the 1.5 DOHC i-VTEC powertrain that produces 121 PS and a maximum torque of 145 Nm. 

The City also comes with a host of advanced features, some of which are a first in the segment such as Electric Parking Brake (EPB) and Remote Engine Start. The City is also fitted with a first-in-segment safety feature – Honda LaneWatch that helps to monitor blind spots for safer lane changing.

Overall, the City sets a higher safety standard in the B-segment as the model offers the enhanced Honda Sensing with seven advanced safety features.

The 10th Generation Accord was introduced to the Malaysian market in 2020. It was the first time a Japanese mass market manufacturer introduced a Turbocharged engine in a D-segment car.

The model received favourable response from Malaysians with more than 2,200 units sold to date. The Accord is an ideal car for customers who seek an executive sedan with dynamic performance, elegant design and premium features.

Under the hood of the Accord is an enhanced 1.5L VTEC Turbocharged engine that offers maximum power output of 201 PS and maximum torque of 260 Nm, which is more powerful than most naturally aspirated 2.4L engines in the market.
