A week after launching the 2026 Honda City facelift, Honda Malaysia has announced that the order books for the City Hatchback facelift have now been opened. Like the sedan, it’s the second refresh for the hatchback, which had its first facelift in 2024 following its debut here in late 2021.

Also, like the City sedan, the 2026 iteration of the City Hatchback introduces a new face and some minor cosmetic changes to the exterior as well as a few upgrades to the interior. In terms of line-up, it should mirror the path taken for the sedan with the most recent refresh, with the previous five variant range downscaled to four (E, V, RS petrol and e:HEV RS hybrid), the base S likely to be omitted.

As indicated from the global reveal of the car in India back in May, the hatch gets the same sharper front end as the sedan. Changes include slimmer bi-LED projector headlights and a new front bumper, with different lower profiles depending on model grades.
