New Honda City coming to Town

Today I saw an advertisement, Honda launch the New Honda City, it look so nice, but yet to see this real car soon.

I just get the performance information from Honda Malaysia website:

1.5 litre i-VTEC engine

Maximum power:

120PS [88kW]@6,600rpm, quite powerful with this range size of car
Maximum torque:

145N•m [14.8kg•m]@4,800rpm

The 1.5-litre i-VTEC powerplant in the all-new City provides classleading performance and fuel economy. Achieving lower fuel consumption without compromising on engine output and even environmental considerations. The engine is compliant with Euro 4 level emission standards.

DBW technology controls the engine and 5-speed automatic transmission to give you smoother shifting for reliable acceleration and linear driving performance at regular speed range.

The class-leading 5AT offers efficient speed range with its wide and close gear ratio. Power start acceleration is briskly achieved for an exhilarating drive. With fuel economy and quietness on high speed in mind, the excitement never stops. Its automatic lock-up control does its job smartly as well as to improve response. Fuel wastage is reduced during low speed with its extended lock up.


On the road price : RM 84,980.00 [if your insurance Non Claim Bonus (NCB) is 0%]

This is around RM10K more than it rival Toyota Vios , but this is the latest model, as the Vios already quite sometime in the market.
