Word on the street is the Honda City Hatchback has just landed in Malaysia. Slotting into the City lineup as the hatchback variant, it carries over the sedan's sporty looks and practical nature, clearly targeting young drivers and those navigating city streets.
Under the hood for the Malaysian market is a 1.5L i-VTEC engine, and there's an RS sport trim up for grabs too. The RS gets a more aggressive front end and sporty wheels to match. Inside, you're looking at an 8-inch infotainment screen and Honda Sensing safety tech, which should make both driving and daily commutes that bit more enjoyable and secure.
The big plus with hatchbacks, of course, is their nimble size and that wider boot opening – perfect for zipping around town or quick getaways. The City range has always been a solid performer in Southeast Asia, and this hatch adds another compelling option for shoppers. If you're into compact hatches, swing by your local Honda dealer for a test drive. And hey, maybe cross-shop it with the likes of the Toyota Yaris or Proton Iriz to see which one best fits your needs.
