The Superhero in Red: The New Honda City

The new Honda City has been cruising on our roads for quite sometime now. However, with a new colour introduced and some minor tweaks, Honda hopes to capture a more youthful market with more tech toys and a modern look. This new “Superhero” as Honda calls it, is the new Honda City available in Dark Ruby Red Pearl, an all new striking colour.

“The Only Superhero With 5 Super Abilities!”

The Power To Stay In Style….

Redesigned inside and out, Honda seeks to achieve a more fun and youthful design language. The new Honda City has more than enough captivating features to impress your friends every time they enter. From the touchscreen ‘Display Audio’ to the touch panel air conditioning controls, both you and your friends have more than enough toys to play with to satisfy your inner Star Wars geek. One of the cool features worth mentioning is the ability to stream music wirelessly via Bluetooth, this would probably guarantee a much more fun drive with your friends.

 With Great Power, Comes Great Specifications….

As always, the new Honda City leads the segment with more than enough power and grip to channel your inner Formula One dreams. Apart from that, the new City also features an “ECON Mode” which helps drivers save more fuel so that those Ang Pau packets can be left unopened. The cool cruise control feature enables drivers to set their desired speed and take their foot of the pedal whilst letting the car drive itself, in return giving you the freedom to converse with your friends safely.

The Power of A Vision…

Honda’s vision for the new City starts with the “H DESIGN” concept that focuses around the driver and passengers. Practicality is key in this market, so the new City boasts a spacious boot with 536 litres thus saving you the concern when you head over to Ikea. Should you find that the boot still isn’t quite big enough, you could fold down the rear seats further expanding your storage space. For your friends in the back, the cabin space is the largest in its class, with adequate rear legroom and a centre armrest to keep them comfy for those long rides.

The Power To Keep You Safe…

One of the key advanced safety features are the 6 airbags designed to protect occupants in a collision, keeping you safe and sound. The City is also equipped with Vehicle Stability Assist or VSA, programmed to keep the driver in control when he or she is having too much fun. The Bluetooth compatibility for mobile phones also enables the driver to accept calls more safely giving you less reason to ignore your Boss while driving.

With Great Features, Comes Great Value…

Priced between RM 73438 to RM 88897 and offering 4 variants, rest assured there’s something for everyone. Also worth mentioning is the 5 years warranty with unlimited mileage providing owners with a worry free purchase. Though its features may vary from model to model, worry not as the essence of a fun and an entertaining drive will always be present regardless of your choice.
