Keep in mind that this price does not include the cost of tyre or battery replacement. It is also worth mentioning that the choice of engine oil will also affect the final amount.

Then there's the hybrid battery. The price of replacing the hybrid battery in the City RS has yet to be revealed by Honda Malaysia, but for comparison, it costs less than RM 6,000 to replace the hybrid battery in the previous-generation City Hybrid and Jazz Hybrid.

That said, Honda hybrid battery replacements are surprisingly rare, even rarer than Toyota hybrids.
