- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 1 ต.ค. 2024
- Here you go, guys and girls, the test that many have asked for - the Honda City RS going up Genting Highlands. See how all of the 253 Nm of torque is used for the entire climb from the bottom all the way to the top.
The body can certainly take more than what we could throw at it, but the additional power is put to good use helping the City make its way up faster than what a naturally aspirated 1.5 litre engine could do.
And guys, don't forget to like and subscribe if you haven't already done so.
And of course we can sell you the City RS through our channel - if you should choose to book this or any other Honda through our channel, it would certainly contribute towards keeping this channel going.

thank you uncle for ACTUALLY showcasing the 253Nm instead of those "why buy this over the 1.8 ketam"... aside from the random woo woo engine sound (i know that's when you step on the paddle), this is very thrilling drive 👍🏻 big turning corners no sweat
The engine Drone noise is killing me…. Sounded like my time driving kelisa fast fast lol
Cvt?
sounds like a lawnmower
I've been waiting for this model to be tested by YS and finally!! I always watch your vids and I'm your fan from PH. ☺️
Thanks for supporting, Tristan.
Actually I find the torque really helps if you carry loads and climb. More significant feeling. At the 2 left turning steep hairpin corner on the way to the peak, where most car struggles, the high torque make is easy. Sharing from my Ioniq experience.
Thank you Mr Khong for this drive. Most anticipated one i guess. Just want to know, does the battery ever run out of juice throughout your run?
No it did not. I said so in the video.
@@YSKhongDriving ya I did notice you mentioned in the mid of the video but I assume the peak climb (2nd climb) should taken more battery out as there are more steep acceleration.
My Ioniq ran out of juice when almost reaching the peak, so totally rely on engine power. Seems then this RS charge better.
Noticeable Atkinson cycle engine do give a bit of roar when pushed.
Ridiculously fast city …awesome skill. The car is like part of uncle Khong’s limbs. Great synergy bet wen man and machine
Can i just say that uncle mmg terbaik la handle the corners with speeding semua tu. Agak ngeri bila tgk but for experienced racer like you, it's probably nothing 😂. Already book my City RS n hopefully I can be satisfied with it 🙂
253Nm...it's equal to X50 leh ...power ni. No wonder they go for this instead of ketam.
From the video view, it really flies uncle Khong
It looks easy to handle but the engine noise kinda like Toyota 4AGE engine when high rev haha ! This torque seems fine for me. Another great handling and stress test for this car. 😀👍
Uncle punya skill handling time corner mantap. Legend
Can you try Persona 2022 going up Genting Highlands for the next video? Thank you.
That's a fast single cab Hilux
Hahaha, now that you pointed it out, yes, he was going a little over the limit, bit I was not chasing him. Too busy with the narrative
Stupid hailat drivers.
Pure Diesel power.
Its made for fuel economy but the car is just too fun to drive. In Malaysia we say tekan pegi tekan pegi, when you press it goes, no questions asked. I got the HB version of this and dropped my fuel economy to 18/L hahaha. Yes its bad but I bought it for the driving experience. I didnt spend over 100k to drive it like an aunty. No offence to aunties xd. If you do drive like one then yes you can maintain a very high fuel economy like what Honda says. For anyone who is interested in buying the car from a user.
it is rather loud(noisy) inside the car..
Only when you gun it. Normally it is quieter.
the engine roar like "you wanna go or not" hahahaha
Only when tekan hard.
yeah finally... king of torque B-segment..
Its slavia now
woahhhh finally uncle lenjen the RS up to genting! i really love watching all your videos, making it seem like it's so easy to drive up to genting in speeds like these! really hope to get the chance to sit in one of your drives one day, maybe in the upcoming Civic 2022 🥲🥲
Already waiting for 10000 years ago Finally
Hahaha, sorry, just got the car.
Perhaps ys khong can tell more about the car handling n experience s elaborations and describe in more detail about the car perhaps more skewed n tendency to mechanical part n better automotive commentary like drivetrain n how its performance affects the experience s in lay man term.
The paddle shifters are actually not for the gear box, it’s for adjusting the intensity of the regenerative braking (Honda Sales Supervisor here 😊)
Yup, I also just found out.
Uncle YS
Vios GR or City RS which handle better?
I think the Vios has a bit stiffer suspension, and goes around the corners better, but the City RS has better pulling power.
This car is not a perfomance car that why you looks not really enjoyable when speeding.maybe the handling could give your satisfaction.anywhere safety is priority boss..
It is a great family car.
I think I read it on Wapcar, the pedal shifter for the RS is for charging the battery... not for gear up and down.
Yes, you are correct.
The paddle shifters is not for gearing if im not mistaken, its only for braking
Yup. My mistake
Yes, it's for the manual adjustment of regenerative braking.
Excellent test drive in this video. Ys Khong. Your the best!
Finally the video I have been waiting for. Thanks sir!
We're waiting for Tesla Genting run haha...
Thank you very much n hv a good evening frm Ipoh.
I think the paddle shift are not for changing gears on this hybrid. if not mistaken its for regenerative braking, use when coming to a stop.
There is a B button for higher batt regen. But you could be right. The Kona paddle shifts do just that. However, there is nothing showing on the instrument panel when I activate the paddles.
Yes correct.. it's not a normal paddle shift..Honda calls it Deceleration Selector Paddles. The function is to control the rate of regenerative braking
I keep rewatching this video and regret not going with the RS variant. But the lack of spare tire & semi leather seat is what making me think V variant is better, for around RM 200 lesser. The petrol variant can be a little underpowered, and no brake hold but if they include Low Speed Follow in this, I'll definitely go with this one
The 2023 City RS e:HEV has Low Speed Follow (LSF)
@donnyyeo yup. And now im seriously considering to trade my 1 yo vs into the new one 😅
Wow..fast car huh. 🤔. Really impressed me uncle..
From now on I won't be chasing or tail gating any rs especially at genting. 🤭 Lol
Thanks
Up your turbo boost in your myvi la. Apa lagi🤣
Thx uncle for this review.. now I'm very sure I can go buy honda ex5 tomorrow 🤭
Yup, that is also what I can afford
@@YSKhongDriving 🤣🤣🤣 stay healthy uncle 👍
normally any car got paddal shift.uncle must use it.but in this city has alottttt of torque so the car has no underpower issue in evey hill climb or corner..just let 253nm torque do the job..but it seems the car need a better tyres.if this car using semi slick i would say this car handling alot better 🙂
Hahaha, and you stop when it rains, right?
This car never be hillclimb monster.yes the torque is there.but the extra weight really make it hell to tackle the corner.
@@fktaufik9252 city rs just 1250kg still very lightweight.well even rs got 253nm torque because the HP is lower so cant accelerate fast..
@@nicholaschoong5638 1250 cant be considered lightweight.put 2 person you already playing within luxury car vicinity.jaguar xf 1500kg if not mistaken.
Consider the weight,and skinny tyre with overinflated pressure,every corner you can see it is screaming when put to test.
Only semi slick can fix that.
But then,as you said,253Nm torque with low horsepower,is it gonna be able to pull a wide semi slick tyre effortlessly as a hillclimb monster should be?
At last 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼 the locomotive car goes up the hill... Range extender with batteries and a genset under the hood...
the cvt is excruciatingly loudd..
Yup
There is no cvt here. It just the engine spin to drive the generator. The shift are all fakery.
There is no CVT 😅🤣. Direct shaft drive fro engine at high speed, motor drive at 100km/h below...
The sound..omg
Nowadays when ppl hear the sound simply blame cvt. But actually its the engine
Good day uncle, just want to ask. That hill climb route of genting. Did u already remember it by your heart?
YS KHONG please make a video of myvi facelift in genting..I appeal to ys khong..tq
Wish i could see the running speed also. Im at the edge of my seat while watching! 🤩
Lucky you cannot see the speed, lol.
@@YSKhongDriving what is the highest km/h you reached?
Engine revving to charge the battery. Interesting honda did sort of like virtual gear change sound. This car totally been running by electric motor and engine as generator. Serial hybrid
This system is not exactly serial, but you are right, it is different. I think Honda did great here.
Best Car Channel ever! Thank you YS Khong! This is my next car to buy. Thanks again YS Khong! :) Are you from Singapore?
Thanks for your support.
Nice tech, boring look, engine noise that sounds like an old Auntie who only uses 2nd gear. I'll keep my V8 a bit longer.
Over here, we rice boys cannot afford V8s.
@@YSKhongDriving over here, us potato boys are struggling too 😂
Hows the v8 with 5usd per gallon? 🤣 Anyway wish i can afford one here
@@akidddkidd sold it and bought a VW 2.0 diesel 😂👍
not sure about you guys, but the engine sound very harsh compared to the rest of the other B-segments models when climbing Genting after watching the videos for other B-segment models by YS back-to-back at the same time...
It's the performance, ultimately, that counts
Because engine doesn't move the car. It as generator to the battery. So to make sure battery is not running out of juice. It keep revving when driving like this. iMMD is serial hybrid except the engine can move the car via lockup clutch on highway drive speed
Wow..tq uncle.. waiting for your RS ride up to genting 😂
That’s cvt sounds struggled 😢
They said this car is noisy, is it same with 1.5L engine? How does it drive conpare to Toyota Vios?
Any car driven hard will be noisy.
Unker Khong, the news of Ativa Hybrid is out. System is similar to Honda's i-MMD. Do give it a try and put your thoughts on video 🙏🏻 Try to flat out the batteries and see if the engine is able to cope with continuous extended spirited driving, say North-South Highway speedy drive?
Hi Uncle, could you please share with us the approximate FC in your endeavour going up Genting? Thank you 😊
Going up Genting in this car is quite good FC really. About 12 km/ litre. Couldn't finish the tank of gas.
no one can tell how to play the regenerative control , Honda put it out for adjust it has some fucntion to play with, since this car has no gearbox , the regenerative let the drive choosing the engine power go more or go less to charging or traction, i had see some car reveiw say the engine respond take 4sec to pick up speed worst than a turbo car, i think that has some play on this + - level 🤔
bunyi yg dihasilkan city rs neh sedap jugak... Tp uncle punya push makk ai, memg padu habis. Berdencit dencit bunyi tayar time selekoh. Giler ah.
how does Honda's e:HEV compare to Toyota's hybrid synergy drive system?
Two different systems.
@@YSKhongDriving concur. what is your take on their pros and cons?
Came here because of the city ehev launch in India and getting it definitely after this video!
Scintillating drive , great skills but amazingly sporty suspension setup for a family sedan like this!
The "paddle shifters" are actually regenerative braking controls.
Yes. I found that out later. Sorry.
Uncle does it goes up to 90 or 100mph on final straight? Like this if yes 😁
Of course it does. Some parts of the video may be sped up for dramatic effect.
Climb much easier with such torque eventho with small capacity engine, but with electric motor torque, it did well 5m:40s from the guard post to the gohtong roundabout.
Love the engine roar esp when YS pressed it to the pedal. This car is smooth over the corners.
As a biker myself, I feel a lil bit annoy by some rider in the video.. They seem like not really pay attention on their surrounding especially behind them.
But not that harley rider
sorry stupid question, does it matter if we use Ron95 or ron97 petrol? In of 'efficiency' of generating energy from engine and give to motor?
As long as the engine runs smoothly.
The white Toyota Starlet - Bill Cook. The Nissan sunny - William Lyou. Feel like you overtaking them during special stage.
Hi Uncle YS Khong, just wondering how the car handles during downhill, without the help of engine braking. Will the brakes get overheated easily? If so, may I know how to circumvent the issue of brakes overheating without engine braking?
Downhill, use the regeneration to help slow down the car. We did not have any problems with the car.
The engine noise!
macam driving myvi je uncle😅 tak rasa nampak torque hp
How's the uphill acceleration compared to x50 since both torque are about the same?
We did not do a comparison, but you can watch both videos
YS khong . Please fix the second mini camera at meter ??
The engine roar as it is got shifting gear but is does not actually. But one thing the engine roar is loud. So the new HRV will have similar roar i guest.
nice drive! waiting for myvi 2022 🤤🤤
Wooooww nice ..nicee driving sir..
Berape laju meter die pergi baru kami lebih stim..nak tengok nombor meter brapa laju
Engine noise adui....
Any car that is pushed will be quite loud, actually.
Hi uncle...this hybrid city can go up to 190kmh
Donno. We never tested top speed
Loved your explanation about how the engine and electric motor works 👌👌
1 camera should show km/h baru kami lagi stim uncleku
Wonderful video ‼️
I was wondering if it would be better to drive uphill in pure EV mode? You know like making the car a series hybrid ( Nissan note) where the ICE works only to produce the juice required for the electric motor. This because Torque from electric motor we know is instant and does not have to go through the clutch media and multi speed gearbox before becoming useful.
The hybrid battery is relatively small, so the engine may step in to assist, but yes, the main is the motor with the 253Nm torque.
Thank you for this. How does this compare to vios gr please?
The City RS is a hybrid.
Is it tork measured at wheels?
Any bad understeer? Cos d normal city understeers like a boat!
Fuel consumption can’t complain.
Prefer d hatchback looks.
Take the hatchback. You can book through us.
why the car got the wengwengweng buzzing sound?
Didn't hear it.
Ya I heard it too.
You should show the tacho/speedo instead of you driving. With this, it is more exciting to hear the sound and see how the road and engine speed perform which is what you are trying to show us. Nothing against seeing you driving but more interesting will be video about the car. Just a thought for your videos to have the oomph like what we watch on other car channels.
You can watch a separate video on the car when we do the walkaround video. Qe have many videos, so please watch the ones you like and disregard the rest. We cater to a vast audience. And we never intentionally show speed because we dont want to influence weak minded young boys to try to go faster and crash.
Errrrr.... Thats not pedal shifter for gear but level of regeneration braking....
Yes. You are right.
The engine sound sounded like real racing game.it sound fake.
I cant live with it.
It is not a piped in sound.
Thank you.coz..showing me how to fly up to genting
Uncle Khong… You really dare to push the car with those shitty Toyol Proxes tyres…? Those donuts nearly got me into an accident last month - totally tak makan…
You drive each car to its own ability. In our work we test many cars. Most important is not to expect the car to perform by your standards, but to adapt your driving to the car.
Therefore you drive eash car to find where the limit is, and stay within the safe threshold of that limit.
Most times we never stretch the car until it fails to grip.
As for the tyres, good drivers can "feel" the amount of grip available. So instead of complaining, we just drive and evaluate the car as it is, without being judgemental.
Car makers spend a lot of time evaluating what they want to put on the car, and have valid reasons for doing so.
Bear in mind hybrids main purpose is fuel consumption. Next is cost.
And you can change tyres if you buy.
@@YSKhongDriving I wasn't even pushing my car. Because when I hit the emergency brakes ESS did not kick in while ABS kicked in lack-lustrely. When ESS did not kick in means I was going below 60kph as per Honda tech. I went back to Honda with this complain but they couldn't find any problem with the brakes nor the ABS... Those stock tyres are just pure shit. So I would advise you again, don't push the City too far with those tyres, especially the Hybrid with overall heavier load.
uncle smoke all driver, yuhuuuuu
Uncle, Why the engine sound like droning up & down? Very irritating?
Because I am feathering the throttle. Hybrids like this one thrive in city traffic.
uncle after this can u do myvi av facelift
Handles beautifully
This car will win touge race easily
Hello Uncle YS, does this City GN2/GN3 require running in/breaking in as well as as other new car? I got someone says that its not required.
Not really necessary, but of you want, you can.
uncle how mucgh fuel economy did you achieve in this test run. how many kilometers was the route of ?
Please watch the video.
Sweet, could be a cool car for someone to city drive as well since claimed up to 3.6L/100km.
Means easily over 800km on a full tank.
Also Uncle could u try to test drive Preve the turbo/cfe model. I know its an old car, but the other day I kena tapau uphill genting haha. I drove my wife's Passat at the time n didn't try to follow him that spirited but man either his driving is good or the car handling is also that good. Or was it you lol?
Good choice, I mean the City RS. As for the Preve, it is an old car, and in the hands of a good driver, it can be quite good. It could also have been modified. No, it was not me, hahaha. The weakest link in the drive train would be the cvt, which has a limitation on the max torque it can take, and a conversion to a manual for the old Preve would open up many possibilities in the hands of a good tuner. The Exora manual trans would be a straight fit, and you can get 250 horses easily.
@@YSKhongDriving from my observation the Preve seems dead stock as i can hear the rpm just maintain a constant rev and might be good tyres with rims changed and plain looking but shook me nonetheless how planted (it seems) through corners. Sure, the machine is only as good as the driver, I know u proved it many times already like the Kia Carnival.
Also, u ahh uncle bikin org susah wo haha. I shown my wife this video and she also watched your review of the City hatchback RS, and guess what, we gonna have a test drive next week haha. Wish us luck.
Are the paddle shifters for shifting gears? I though there are no gears and the paddles are for changing regenerative levels from brakes
You are correct. The paddle shifters are only for regenerative charging.
@@YSKhongDriving thanks for clarification sir
Uncle can test the 2021 A250 sedan?
Uncle, doakan saya dapat pakai kereta ni
boleh tahan bunyi engine dia... huhu..
how far compare to vios gr & almera turbo..
Max torque is highest for this vehicle. Almera is the most quiet, and Vios GRS handles the best. So it depends on what your priorities are.
Me: wow so fast get up genting
YSK: it still is a little bit on the slow side
The CVT whine dominates the driving experience.
No CVT whining, thats the engine sound charging the batt & driving the wheel.
The motor drive the wheel directly.
@@metzmatu8409 If Uncle Khong says so
Yes, most of the sound comes from the engine.
Sir one question ! Iriz active vs city hatch back , which one you think has better handling??
City hatch is much faster. Also costs more.
@@YSKhongDriving thank you for your reply sir. But I would like to know specifically at cornering. Which one do you think handle the best
CVT so loud XD
Test jalan kimanis ba uncle
Kalau ada sponsor, I bolih datang.
12:00 there are these wengwengweng sound in the background constantly after a turn or high acceleration
Not sure what you mean, but could be the tyres complaining a little.
@@YSKhongDriving maybe more appearing to headphone/earphone users. will check out this weird sound next time I test drive the RS. highly interested.
thank you uncle
The nvh sound so bad especially the cvt
Most cars in this B segment are noisy when pushed.
Try civic fc 1.8 hill climb
