KUALA LUMPUR:  Honda Malaysia Sdn Bhd unveiled the long-awaited new Honda City which is set to exceed expectations for design, performance and practicality.

“The new City caters to both work and leisure activities,” said Honda Malaysia chief executive officer and managing director Yoichiro Ueno.

Ueno, who spoke during the launch of the new compact sedan recently, said the new City combines attractive styling with practicality, comfort and economical driving.

The new City debuts as the first completely knocked-down (CKD) model from Honda Malaysia after the resumption of its factory production in April 2012.

“With our production operating at full speed, we are pleased to announce we have cleared the 3,000 Honda City back orders we received during the production halt,” Ueno said.

The new City is powered by Honda’s signature i-VTEC 1.5 litre engine which provides a balance of performance and fuel efficiency. Honda Malaysia targets to sell 2,000 units of the new City per month by the end of this year.

 Customers can test drive and place their booking for the new City at any authorised Honda dealers nationwide.
