Honda Malaysia has officially opened pre-orders for the Honda City 2026 facelift. Previously launched in India and Thailand, it is the 2nd facelift for the 5th generation Honda City sedan and builds on its core practical strengths while introducing updated styling and enhanced safety features.
What’s new on the outside?
One of the main changes that the Honda City 2026 facelift has received is a revised front fascia that incorporates an integrated headlight setup with a full-width light bar. Functional air curtains have also been added to the front bumper for the first time on this model to improve airflow and widen the vehicle’s visual stance.
The rear bumper has also been redesigned to complement the restyled front. The top-spec e:HEV RS variant receives additional differentiation through exclusive 16-inch milled alloy wheels finished in a two-tone Berlina Black and Dark Clear appearance.
Inside, there is a new floating-style 10-inch infotainment display (Honda called it Display Audio) as well as integrated ambient lighting. Honda has also updated the 360-degree camera system with a multi-view interface.
In addition to that, there is also the Blind Spot Information with Cross Traffic Monitoring system that helps alert drivers to adjacent vehicles during lane changes or reversing. Meanwhile, the full Honda Sensing suite—which includes Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC), Lane Keep Assist (LKA), and Collision Mitigation Braking System (CMBS) —continues to come standard across all variants.
Multiple powertrain options still available
Similar to its predecessor, the Honda City 2026 facelift model still comes with 2 powertrain options.
The e:HEV RS variant features a combination of a 97hp (72kW) 1.5L DOHC i-VTEC Atkinson cycle 4-cylinder engine that also produces 127Nm of torque, and a 107hp (80kW) electric motor with 253Nm of torque. Honda Malaysia’s website also noted that the hybrid’s battery and components will be covered by a 10-year unlimited mileage warranty – a policy that the company has put in motion since May.
On the other hand, there is also the 1.5L DOHC i-VTEC 4-cylinder option, which is being paired with a CVT and can deliver 121hp as well as 145 Nm of torque.
Meanwhile, Honda Malaysia is now offering a RM3,000 Early Bird Reward for customers who place their bookings from now until 30 September 2026. Bookings can be made through official Honda dealerships nationwide, the HondaTouch mobile application, or Honda Malaysia’s pre-book website.
