Honda Malaysia has announced that the facelifted Honda City is officially open for booking, with the latest evolution of the company’s B-segment sedan introducing a refreshed front bumper, new interior features, and some design updates.
Honda City 2026 Facelift
The update introduces a 10-inch Display Audio with Ambient Light, offering a larger interface, alongside a new Multi-View Camera System (360° View Camera) for maneuvering in tight urban spaces. Across all variants, the model also adds a Blind Spot Information system with Cross Traffic Monitoring, alerting drivers to vehicles in adjacent blind spots during lane changes.
The exterior features a new Integrated Headlight Design with a full-width light bar, along with a redesigned front face that incorporates air curtains for the first time on the model. The rear has also been updated with sportier design elements while retaining the distinct City silhouette. The RS variant adds 16-inch milled alloy wheels finished in two-tone Berlina Black and Dark Clear.
For this facelift, Honda City retains the same powertrain options as before: the 1.5L e:HEV powertrain produces 109PS and 253Nm of torque from its electric motor to eCVT transmission (where the 98PS 1.5L NA motor acts as the generator and can take over at higher driving speeds); alternatively, the 1.5L DOHC i-VTEC engine produces 121PS and 145Nm of torque, sending the power to CVT instead.
Honda SENSING safety suite is standard across all variants, comprising Lane Departure Warning, Road Departure Mitigation, Lane Keep Assist System, Forward Collision Warning, Collision Mitigation Braking System, Auto High Beam, Adaptive Cruise Control, Low Speed Follow (available on the e:HEV RS variant only) and Lead Car Departure Notification.
Honda Malaysia is offering a RM3,000 Early Bird Reward for bookings placed between 27 August and 30 September 2026, subject to terms and conditions. To coincide with Merdeka Day, the company is also running a “One Nation, Shared Rewards” campaign with a New City Pop-up Store at locations to be announced on Honda Malaysia’s official website. The new Honda City is open for booking online and at Honda authorized dealerships nationwide.
Pokdepinion: Full length light bar, or better known as the same design approach as every other car brand out there in 2026. Honestly, last year’s model looks more distinct (and just better-looking) if you ask me.
