Key Highlights
Overview
After much teasing, and all the hype that usually surrounds Honda’s top-selling model in recent time – Honda Malaysia has launched the fifth-generation (5th-Gen) Honda City for the Malaysian market.
According to Honda, this new model raises the stakes for the City model and blurs the lines between the traditional B-Segment and premium-segment vehicles, courtesy of an advanced drivetrain, safety, and equipment technologies.
Building on the success and familiar traits of the outgoing model – the 5th-Gen Honda City is now longer by 111mm (4,553mm), wider by 54mm (1,748mm), and 10mm lower (at 1,467mm) compared to the predecessor – contributing to an overall growth in stature and crucially, cabin space for occupants.
For the first time ever – the City is also offered with two entirely different powertrains across its range. The more familiar Grade S, E, and V are powered by a new 1.5L DOHC (previously single-cam SOHC) i-VTEC powertrain, which produces a healthy 121PS of power and maximum torque of 145Nm. The engine is mated to a CVT-Type automatic transmission.
The halo RS e:HEV variant is powered by Honda’s cutting-edge intelligent Multi-Mode Drive (i-MMD) powertrain which combines an internal combustion (IC) engine with two electric motors, and a high-power Lithium-Ion battery pack.

First Drive: Honda City RS i-MMD - Blurring B-Segment Battle Lines
This step forward is very apparent when driving the new electrified City as it works quite differently to other hybrid powertrains. I knew it would offer up a different sensation, of course, but it still came as a surprise when the started car moving via the electric motor alone while the engine, essentially, is having no direct impact on the spinning wheels. See, the i-MMD system utilises two electric motors: the Traction Motor, and a smaller electric generator. Sandwiched between these core components are the battery array of 48 lithium-ion cells and the 1.5-litre Atkinson-cycle i-VTEC naturally aspirated four-cylinder engine. What’s important to keep in mind here is how they work in synergy.
