The new Honda City Hatchback 2026 facelift is now officially in Malaysia, just slightly over 2 weeks since it was made available for booking in our market. In fact, its sedan equivalent was only launched in Malaysia last month.
Locally assembled in Melaka, one of the major changes that Honda Malaysia has implemented on the 2026 facelift version, as opposed to the first facelift model that was released in 2024, is the removal of the lower-end S and E variants.
Instead, the new City Hatchback 2026 facelift is now down to the V, petrol-based RS, and the hybrid e:HEV RS. This also means that all City Hatchback 2026 facelift variants feature disc brakes all-round.
In other words, none of the City Hatchback 2026 facelift variants come with drum brakes, which are usually only equipped in lower-end variants – just in case you are concerned about any specification discrepancies, as per what happened to its sedan counterpart.
