Between October and December 2020, Honda Malaysia has delivered close to 10,800 units of the All-New City to customers throughout Malaysia. The 5th Generation All-New City is set to raise the stakes in its segment with an attractive overall package that is beyond the B-segment, complete with pioneering advanced technology, unparalleled performance and stylish design.

The highest demand came from the Central region of Peninsular Malaysia, which contributed 48% of total sales received, followed by Southern region at 19% and Northern region at 18%. Based on the sales achieved, the Platinum White Pearl colour appears to be the favourite with customers, representing 26% of the overall sales for the All-New City.
Honda Malaysia Managing Director and Chief Executive Officer, Mr. Toichi Ishiyama said, “The year 2020 may have been challenging but we have managed to maintain our undisputed No.1 position in the Non-National Segment¹ for the sixth consecutive year with 60,469 units sold and for that, we are truly humbled by the support we have received. The City continues to prove its position as the most popular Non-National B-segment¹ model among Malaysians who love its advanced features in an attractive price package. Throughout the years, the City has never failed to impress Malaysians, and the record sales achieved since the launch of the 5th Generation All-New City proved that it is still a much-loved model. On behalf of Honda Malaysia, I would like to thank all our customers for making this milestone a significant one even during these challenging times. Your continuous trust in the Honda brand has allowed us to keep trying to outdo ourselves in our service to you as we strive to bring forth the 3 Joys of Honda, which are Joy of Buying, Joy of Selling and Joy of Creating.”
Mr. Ishiyama added, “We sincerely thank the Malaysian Government for the extension of sales tax exemption until 30th June 2021 which will allow many Malaysians to purchase cars with extra savings. As we move on in 2021, we will continue to support the Government’s efforts to curb the pandemic which is still active nationwide.”
