Honda City Specifications: Full Technical Details

Honda CITY

Honda City is one of Malaysia's best-loved B-segment sedans, on sale locally since the late 1990s and now in its seventh generation.

This page lists the generations sold in Malaysia, newest first, with engine, dimensions and chassis details per generation.

Current Generation (2020-Present)

The seventh-generation City (2020–present, GN) launched locally in 2020, offered as both a sedan and a hatchback. It uses a 1.5-litre petrol (121 PS/145 Nm) with CVT, and an e:HEV hybrid RS pairing a 1.5-litre Atkinson engine with an electric motor for strong efficiency.
