Honda Malaysia has finally launched the City Hatchback here in Malaysia, a new five-door model which replaces the popular Jazz in the Southeast Asian region. Three variants are available from launch, starting with the base 1.5 S at RM75,670, the 1.5 E at RM83,080, and the 1.5 V at RM87,860. The fourth e:HEV RS hybrid will only be available in early 2022, with pricing to be announced then. Unlike the four-door, the hatch does not get the recently-introduced 1.5 V Sensing, which adds a host of active safety features. Since the order books opened, the company received over 2,000 bookings. Between this and the sedan, there are a few unique trim differences that separate the two, besides the obvious body style. The powertrain and drivetrain offerings are the same, though, so the S, E and V share the same 1.5 litre DOHC i-VTEC four-cylinder, producing 121 PS at 6,600 rpm and 145 Nm of torque at 4,300 rpm. An Earth Dreams CVT sends drive to the front wheels.
