The Honda City Hatchback provides petrol and hybrid versions, and the road tax calculation methods vary for different versions. For the petrol version, since its displacement is 1498cc, which is less than 1800cc, according to regulations, it is required to pay 75% excise duty. The specific amount of road tax needs to be comprehensively calculated in combination with the actual value of the vehicle and other factors. Generally speaking, the road tax price to be paid is calculated by multiplying the vehicle value by the 75% excise duty rate and then adding other possible tax items (such as the normal 10% sales tax, which has been waived during the current pandemic).
As for the hybrid version, currently all electric vehicles (including hybrids) registered in Malaysia are exempt from road tax. The tax - exemption period will expire at the end of 2025. Starting from January 1st, 2026, a new policy will be implemented. The road - use tax rate for electric vehicles will be divided into different levels according to engine power: for vehicles with an engine power below 100kW, for every additional 10kW of power, the tax increases by 10 ringgit; for vehicles with an engine power between 100kW and 210kW, for every additional 10kW of power, the tax increases by 20 ringgit; for electric vehicles with an engine power between 210kW (excluding 210kW) and 310kW, for every additional 10kW of power, the tax increases by 30 ringgit. Therefore, the road tax for the Honda City Hatchback hybrid version after 2026 needs to be calculated based on its specific engine power.
