Honda City Hatchback News in Malaysia

Iconised in the Japanese anime “You’re Under Arrest,” the classic Honda Motocompo folding scooter from the '80s has been reinvented for the modern era with electrification and could very well be folded to fit in your current Honda City Hatchback. Dubbed the Honda Motocompacto, the all-electric folding scooter is shaped to be a fun-to-ride “first and last mile” solution to address the new demands and realities of modern urban mobility.

The recently launched 2023 Honda City sedan Facelift refreshes the company's top-selling model with a host of styling updates, improved creature comforts and inclusion of the Honda Sensing ADAS suite as standard now. Of course, the new additional features and currency fluctuations have resulted in price increases across all variants. Therefore it is reasonable to assume its sibling, the Honda City Hatchback (HB) will also see similar price increases at launch, expected in early 2024. Also read:

Compared to Malaysians, Thais are more accepting of hybrid cars probably also due to the more expensive petrol prices over in the Kingdom. While Toyota might be the brand that many around the world see as the pioneer of hybrid vehicles, Honda is the most preferred brand for Thais when it comes to getting one. In 2022, Honda is ranked number one in terms of electrified vehicles (xEV) sales in Thailand with cumulative sales of 26,660 units which translate to a 30% market share. Honda offers 6 e:HE

Malaysia’s current import and excise tax exemption for green vehicles is limited only to battery EV (BEV) models. Despite the tax exemptions, the cheapest BEV in Malaysia is still priced at RM 139,800 – Great Wall Motor’s Ora Good Cat, imported from China.

New year, new prices. That adage is a joy if it’s a price decrease but as we have seen by the likes of Toyota and BMW, the new year sees a price increase in some of its models. However, Honda Malaysia has assured that it will not be increasing prices for now. "Despite the current challenging situation, Honda Malaysia will maintain its car prices as of now. Our priority is to continue providing the highest quality products and deliver to customers in a timely manner," said a Honda spokesperson. S
