Honda Sales Advisor here, the button underneath the VSA (Vehicle Stability Assist) (4:20) is not the front parking sensors. It’s actually audible sound off button the city & Jazz Hybrid makes an audible sound when driving below 25km/h in EV mode to alert pedestrians of it’s presence.
Thanks for another interesting video. Incidentally, the previous 8th and 9th gen Civic IMA hybrid models also came with both normal and electric aircon compressors. It is able to blow cold air with the engine off at traffic lights. It's the 7th gen Civic IMA hybrid which only had a normal aircon compressor. Cheers!
Hi Kon. I'm currently browsing for my first car. Have you heard any major issues with City Hybrid? I'm looking for used 2018 unit. Or should I just go for newer 2021 City spec E? Or do you have other better option?
Excellent review there. Btw, i’ve read up much of the DCT technology. Apparently, it behaves pretty much like your MT (manual transmission) except it is computer assisted. Which means that you WILL experience some sort of jerk/lurch when accelerating from stand still and when the gear is changing from 1st to 2nd gear. This can be a bummer since you need to control your acceleration especially during heavy traffic. This eventually would increase more wear & tear to the dual clutched system. I found this out too when doing a test drive recently. But really, would you recommend this car mr. Kon?
Kon Wai Luen now u say it! I doing research by googling and whatch review about these variant of city either to buy regular petrol or hybrid. Finally i’ve made my decision. Your information help a lot. Tq
Definitely really detailed review here. I'd rather he use Malaysian accent to carry out the review like how Bobby did. His deliberate effort to use and pronounce some "flowery" terms wrongly bothers me a little.
Great review as always Kon. But dont quite get the answer to the question at early part of the video. Is it worth the extra money with less creature comforts? Yes?no?
That was an open-ended question for viewers to decide for yourselves. This is a price-sensitive segment, Honda needs to keep the car below a certain price, hence the decision to offer buyers a choice between either an advanced hybrid powertrain without the car's full range of features, or a fully-specced variant with a conventional engine.
Dear lim , city is known for its reliability and longevity , my sister's 1995 city first batch is still running , no problems except the normal wear and tear. Total mileage 912k
prefer old city with REAL USB port and 3.5m audio jack located above cupholder there. this infotainment unit is so aftermarket, the pre-facelift model's unit can show fuel information. the USB or HDMI cable hanging when the phone is not connected.
You are wrong Kon, civic hybrid fb and crz use the lithium ion battery as well, the air cond wont shut off when the engine is idle/engine off. Only jazz, fd hybrid & insight with old nickel metal battery shut off air cond when the car is idle. I own a 2013 civic hybrid, so i know it. Cheers to the fact :)
I don't know much about Mazda 2. But, I've been using City variant V for some months. I can tell you that the passengers legroom is more spacious than you thought. Really comfortable and suitable for long travel.
preve gives power, buy i believe city hybrid is better peace of mind. preve 1st batch user here. still waiting for honda to release the city hybrid price..
+Yahoo GG it was a reenactment, of course, but i was momentarily caught by surprise when i found that the feature was absent. Not a dealbreaker la though.
Yes. The hybrid gets additional reinforcement to take the weight of the battery, but the same reinforcement also had the happy side effect of improving the car's handling.
Can I ask, does the engine shut down during idling if I do not step on the brake but engage the parking brake? And if it doesn't shut down, does the car creep forward if in D?
Oh, I actually have reviewed the car during my Carlist days Written article: www.carlist.my/news/review-2016-volkswagen-passat-b8-18-tsi-20-tsi-driven-langkawi/42744/ Also filmed a couple of videos in collaboration with Roda Pusing: - English video: czcams.com/video/Vx1tRW17nhg/video.html - BM video: czcams.com/video/pYh_M5EIg8E/video.html
Think abt safety. Bad experiences with the new hybrid citi car sudden stopped itself during driving at middle of road and it happened twice within months. How if you drive in highway...
Bad experience on safety with this new car! During driving, the whole hybrid engine sudden off by itself and car immediately stopped at middle of road. All signal lights automatically switch on by itself. Only can restart the engine after a few minutes trial. However, the car only can running very slow at abt 20-25km/hr speed. Brought to Honda service center, they said system error and did reset. After a couple of weeks, it happened again sudden stopped on middle of road during driving. This time brought to Ackmar service center. They did some diagnosis and correction but don't want to finalise and state the car is safe for drive in their report. Is it they are less confident with the correction they have done? Very scary how if this happened in highway during driving.
I owned a city hybrid Jan 19 prior to CNY. So far i'm lucky that i dun experience such sudden engine stop issue. Can i ask what else Honda service center do to prevent such problem from happens again?
Kon, which of Myvi or City would you recommend to an amateur driver? Despite they are from different segment, but Myvi offers big value for money while City gives more comfort(especially the suspension). Hard to make a choice haha.
I doubt the range is as much as 4km? I don’t think regular hybrids go that far in EV mode. The Camry hybrid only does slightly over 1km if i’m not mistaken.
It's okay, but E variant is more worth if you can afford the RM6k differential. You get reverse cam, rear air con vents, side airbag. The equipment upgrade is substantial.
Hi kon, my father wants to buy a Honda city 1.5 e spec. His friend told him that Honda has a plane take off effect when driving at high speeds. Is it true? I think this is a suspension problem because I hate torsion beams just like you haha
Sean Chung Ioniq is better hybrid than city hybrid. go and check it out and see it yourself . Can’t compare the 2 together. It is different that looking at CZcams review.Only then you will understand the type of hybrid you experiencing.
Honda city ni ada masalah gearbox. Kereta saya under warranty. Kereta kat workshop Kah Motor Tebrau Johor . Service Honda mendukacitakan . Nak kena report dengan Honda Japan ker
Ikut prosedur syarikat, Honda Jepun sebenarnya tak boleh buat apa pun. Depa cuma akan hantar kes kamu balik ke Honda Malaysia sahaja. Apa masalah kotak gear kereta anda?
Skrg tepat pkl 4.05 ptg. Saya berada di Kah Motor Tebrau Johor Bahru . Bila tanya status di counter semua tak boleh jawab soalan. Semua orang tak tahu status kereta Honda saya. Kecewa betul dengan Service Honda. Hancussssss
Hi Bumi, may i know the status of your gearbox? My '17 jazz hybrid had gearbox issue too, but after many leave taken for inspection at the dealer, they claim that it was a "normal" dct noise, even though i feedback that i lose power when engine is running, during 1st gear acceleration out of u-turn/ accelerate from standstill. This happens so randomly that i couldnt simulate it for the dealer. Last month i wrote to honda msia, and they refer me back to the same dealer. Im lazy to repeat the whole diagnose process again... Are you experiencing the same / problems had been resolved? Thank you.
I think all dry dual clutch are problematic whether Honda or vw. Not sure about hyundai ioniq, it is using dual clutch too. I don't own any car with dry DCT, jus got from fren who own one, and he always say, always avoid dry DCT, go for wet DCT.
Hey everyone! If you want to watch a video on the 2019 Honda City Hybrid, check out my latest video!
czcams.com/video/OUjFoIZQ99w/video.html
I truly appreciate the clarity of your voice and your informative presentation. But definitely crystal clear clarity voice.
thanks for watching!
Kon Wai Luen Honda City Hybrid will standby drive all ready sport light also very good
Honda Sales Advisor here, the button underneath the VSA (Vehicle Stability Assist) (4:20) is not the front parking sensors. It’s actually audible sound off button the city & Jazz Hybrid makes an audible sound when driving below 25km/h in EV mode to alert pedestrians of it’s presence.
Oh interesting stuff. Thanks for highlighting. I'll point this out when I review the Jazz.
you are right
Also as front parking sensor?
Thanks for another interesting video. Incidentally, the previous 8th and 9th gen Civic IMA hybrid models also came with both normal and electric aircon compressors. It is able to blow cold air with the engine off at traffic lights. It's the 7th gen Civic IMA hybrid which only had a normal aircon compressor. Cheers!
+Haridas Pillay thanks for correcting!
Kon Wai Luen ..
Very honest review brother.Everything is true and I'm a Honda City V modulo spec owner
Thanks for watching!
Very clear and descriptive review , keep up the good work kon 😊😊😊😊
Hi Kon. I'm currently browsing for my first car. Have you heard any major issues with City Hybrid? I'm looking for used 2018 unit. Or should I just go for newer 2021 City spec E? Or do you have other better option?
Hi really love the way you review Honda City hybrid.
BTW where you get your great mic.. Could u suggest one for me.. I will thankyou in advance🙏
It is still jerky low speed dual clutch. Very apparent
Excellent review there. Btw, i’ve read up much of the DCT technology. Apparently, it behaves pretty much like your MT (manual transmission) except it is computer assisted.

This can be a bummer since you need to control your acceleration especially during heavy traffic. This eventually would increase more wear & tear to the dual clutched system. I found this out too when doing a test drive recently.
But really, would you recommend this car mr. Kon?
I personally prefer the regular 1.5 petrol model.
Kon Wai Luen now u say it! I doing research by googling and whatch review about these variant of city either to buy regular petrol or hybrid. Finally i’ve made my decision. Your information help a lot. Tq
Fantastic review
+chris tan thanks for watching!
Nice video 👍
Definitely really detailed review here.
I'd rather he use Malaysian accent to carry out the review like how Bobby did.
His deliberate effort to use and pronounce some "flowery" terms wrongly bothers me a little.

Kon Wai Luen okey but why honda didnt just put all the safety on the hybrid so people just choose this
hey ~~~ nice video~~~can i ask u a question ,now i am driving a city for 9yrs , do u think is good for me to change to new hybrid city ??
Dear lim , city is known for its reliability and longevity , my sister's 1995 city first batch is still running , no problems except the normal wear and tear. Total mileage 912k
prefer old city with REAL USB port and 3.5m audio jack located above cupholder there. this infotainment unit is so aftermarket, the pre-facelift model's unit can show fuel information. the USB or HDMI cable hanging when the phone is not connected.
+americianpig haha yeah. It does have a slightly aftermarket feel.
Hi Kon, thanks for the video benefited a lot from it. Can you please recommend which model of the city is best worth in most aspect?
I'd say go for the top spec petrol model.
E and V what is the main diff? Is it much of a diff? May I also know why petrol over the hybrid type, city hybrid is so much "cooler"?
Good review. Can you do POV for City V Spec?
+Whiskey93 Let me try and request
Kon Wai Luen looking forward to it!
You are wrong Kon, civic hybrid fb and crz use the lithium ion battery as well, the air cond wont shut off when the engine is idle/engine off. Only jazz, fd hybrid & insight with old nickel metal battery shut off air cond when the car is idle. I own a 2013 civic hybrid, so i know it. Cheers to the fact :)
+De Leon Wong oh ok. Thanks for correcting me there.
I thinking of which one is better compare to hybrid or full spec?
Comparing City Petrol and Hybrid. Which one do you recommend?
All things considered, I might still just go for the petrol model.
thank you bro. Is it possible for you to do a review on City 1.5 2018 variant
Hi Kon or anyone who owned/use city hybrid, the 137 hp and 170 nm can be maintain/use for how long?
Hybrid honda city will launch in india or not
I’m considering in between Mazda 2 and Honda city hybrid . I may drive once from KL to JB in a month. Which one is the best to go for ?
I don't know much about Mazda 2. But, I've been using City variant V for some months. I can tell you that the passengers legroom is more spacious than you thought. Really comfortable and suitable for long travel.
@@AdamMathasiri of coz more spaces in city, City is 4400 length, mazda2 is 4000 length.
Hi Mr Kon, Please review Proton Preve refinement 2018. Already out at Proton Ampang showroom. Tq.
I usually will take from the media test pool from HQ. Unless you know someone in the showroom?
Hi kon... im really divided between preve 2018, and city hybrid........
preve gives power, buy i believe city hybrid is better peace of mind. preve 1st batch user here. still waiting for honda to release the city hybrid price..
The ending part is funny hahaha
+Yahoo GG it was a reenactment, of course, but i was momentarily caught by surprise when i found that the feature was absent. Not a dealbreaker la though.
what does it mean??
Means that there is no auto on-off headlights
the chassis is different between the hybrid and regular? just to double confirm
Yes. The hybrid gets additional reinforcement to take the weight of the battery, but the same reinforcement also had the happy side effect of improving the car's handling.
Hi Kon. Do you know how much is the hybrid battery replacement cost?
6k over bro
Can I ask, does the engine shut down during idling if I do not step on the brake but engage the parking brake? And if it doesn't shut down, does the car creep forward if in D?
Dont remember with absolute certainty, but most auto start/stop systems operate according to brake pedal inputs
Is the NVH better than its other competitor in the same segment?
+TanGenT LiN not significantly better, but good.. engine also pulls low revs at high speeds, that helps too
Kon, please do a review of the passat B8 2.0Highline!!🙏
+Nicholas Lee sure!
Oh, I actually have reviewed the car during my Carlist days

Hi... you missed out the fc... surprised no body ask this
Didn't really pay attention at the time. Haha.
Think abt safety. Bad experiences with the new hybrid citi car sudden stopped itself during driving at middle of road and it happened twice within months. How if you drive in highway...
Your personal experience? Mind sharing more in detail.

Myvi is good enough la, if you're on a budget.
Kon Wai Luen ic, thanks abang kon😁
Hi Kon, if anything happens to the battery, and its dead, would the car can still be driven ?
I believe so. Powered purely by the petrol engine, but at much reduced performance la, since the electric drive module now becomes deadweight.
Kon Wai Luen A million thankz bro
What is the range in EV mode? How does the battery recharge ?
Only a handful of kilometres. The motor itself functions as an alternator to charge the battery when it is not being used to drive the car.
Kon Wai Luen how many fingers in the handful? 4kms or less?
4km is a reasonable assumption.
I doubt the range is as much as 4km? I don’t think regular hybrids go that far in EV mode. The Camry hybrid only does slightly over 1km if i’m not mistaken.
Whts your opinion on honda city s spec? Is it just enough sir?
It's okay, but E variant is more worth if you can afford the RM6k differential. You get reverse cam, rear air con vents, side airbag. The equipment upgrade is substantial.
Terbaik CITY & JAZZ IDCT
Kamu ada yang mana?
Hi kon, my father wants to buy a Honda city 1.5 e spec. His friend told him that Honda has a plane take off effect when driving at high speeds. Is it true? I think this is a suspension problem because I hate torsion beams just like you haha
I saw the proton persona review with roda pusing
Ermm.... the last I drove the Honda City, it was okay at highway speeds la.
Kon Wai Luen what speed did you drive??
Up to 130-140kph.
Kon Wai Luen thanks kon
good review but avoid highway... too noisy and shaky lor...
+Lima Charlie haha... was recording after my Genting Run
Can you do a comparison between the Ioniq and City Hybrid?
+Sean Chung let me request for the Ioniq when schedule permits.
Or jazz sport hybrid?
Sean Chung Ioniq is better hybrid than city hybrid. go and check it out and see it yourself . Can’t compare the 2 together. It is different that looking at CZcams review.Only then you will understand the type of hybrid you experiencing.
How is the sound proofing?
Can't really remember, to be honest.
too sad the hybrid is not available yet , so after a long wait I have just paid downpayment for a V spec.
Well... the V spec is still a decent choice la. Has its merits
@@KonWaiLuen yep the only demerits is it has a not so good fuel efficiency than hybrid .
It's still quite efficient la. Haha
Hahaha hopefully because I drive quite a lot haha that's why fuel efficiency is a main concern for me
If I have Ipoh Honda company showroom choice Honda City 2020 cash money monthly deposit RM500.00 also

+kazemi koyoki Myvi is Perodua wor
now honda know how to make money.door step need to buy,door visor need to buy
These accessories are mostly sold at dealer level. I personally don't see the point, but that's my view on accessories in general.
last part...😂😂
hahaha. glad you were amused by it.
U forgot the main thing about it.. the fuel consumption 😂😂
Ohh.. ooops
I m Honda city customer boss Angus Law Tambun Perak Malaysia ....... U can call me
Mr Angus
Too many ‘ok’s... sounds like a science experiment class... ‘opening the door now, ok? Now it looks plain, ok? But it shows this, ok?’ 😂
