Honda Malaysia has recently introduced a new variant of its City Hatchback lineup, the V-SENSING.

The car is the perfect addition for young executives and young families that enjoy an active lifestyle, as it is more than just a cool and sporty vehicle to look at, with a number of advanced safety features added.

This new variant, along with the RS e:HEV variant, in the City Hatchback line-up are equipped with Honda SENSING, which is considered to be the most complete advanced safety features in its class.

Honda Malaysia managing director and chief executive officer Hironobu Yoshimura said the City V-SENSING variant has been well received by consumers since its introduction to the City line-up in November 2021.

This led the company to introduce the City Hatchback variant which now comes with Honda SENSING.

The City Hatchback V-SENSING utilises its front wide view camera to better recognise road boundaries during both day and night driving conditions.

“Throughout the years, the City is well-known for its safety and advanced technology,” he said.

“For the first quarter of 2022, the City V-SENSING contributed 34% to the total City sales, which shows a positive trend for this variant and also the recognition of our advanced safety technology – Honda SENSING.

“We are now excited to introduce the V-SENSING variant to the All-New City Hatchback. We believe that with two All-New City Hatchback variants now available with Honda SENSING, it will further add value for our customers while raising the benchmark in the segment.”

Priced from RM95,600, the City Hatchback V-SENSING is the ideal price point for younger drivers, fresh graduates and young executives.

The car is also perfectly balanced between performance and exceptional fuel efficiency for a hatchback as it is equipped with 1.5-litre DOHC i-VTEC engine, coupled with continuous variable transmission (CVT).

You’ll never have to settle for the ordinary either with the City Hatchback V-SENSING as it features premium yet cosy leather black interior seats with a light grey stitching.

The versatile ULTRA seats, which come in four-modes – utility, long, tall and refresh – are now standard across all variants of the City Hatchback.

It even comes with ample room inside the car cabin for those who need a little more space when commuting and also makes for great storage space to fit all your luggage, especially on those long road trips or when you ‘balik kampung’.

You’ll also be able to commute easily and comfortably in more urban settings.

Not only is it powerful and enjoyable for all, the car is also fitted with the top-class safety features of Honda’s SENSING technology which was developed to realise the vision of a collision-free mobile society.

The technology utilises the front wide view camera to better recognise road boundaries during both day and night driving conditions.

With safety being a priority while driving, the City Hatchback V-SENSING also features a number of other driver assistance safety systems including collision mitigation braking system, forward collision warning, lane keep assist system, lane departure warning, road departure mitigation and auto high beam.

It also has adaptive cruise control which makes driving long distances and in traffic that much easier, as the car is able to match the speed of the car in front of it, while maintaining a safe distance. All the driver has to do is keep their hands on the steering wheel while the car does all the leg work.

The 8-inch display audio is pairable with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto connectivity.

For extra convenience while driving, the V-SENSING variant is also furnished with a wide 8-inch display audio that is perfect for drivers to use when listening to their favourite songs or podcasts.

Being a touchscreen display also makes it easier for drivers to use and switch between applications like music and navigation apps, so you won’t have to look at your phone while driving.

You won’t have to worry about downloading all your favourite songs on a hard drive either as the 8-inch display is also pairable with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto connectivity.

The 7-inch interactive TFT metre fitted in the car can also provide easy access to information, according to the driver’s needs, which lets the driver know exactly what’s going on under the hood.
