You didn't really touch upon the V variant though. For that extra RM 5000, you basically get 2 more airbags, 4 more (mini) speakers, leather interior (not just the seats, but the steering wheel and upholstery as well), LED headlamps, smart lane assist camera and also fog lamp (which is basically useless for me).
So the extra 5k for V variant is really an amazing deal. For me, either get an S (budget version) or go for V. The E variant cost 7k more than S and the only useful addition are the infotainment system and reverse camera.
that's really true! u should only consider S for the budget one or go for V for the better features. E doesn't have much difference to compare with both variant.
Good suggestion.
One additional feature E over S is the cruise control...which is a deal breaker for me.
Which is worth it between city v and vios g? That engine have a big significant difference?
@@LA-el9xv both are good choice, depend on what u want like if u wanna better performance, better highway comfort with cruise control n more spacious go for city, but if u want tooo good resale value/realible and little bit more tech then go for vios, and why not go for almera, almera is wayyy better in every espect except resale value(still don't know how almera resale value will go cus it still very new car) and realible(it still new so still not sure how good is the realible but many speculate its very reliable like old almera)
I prefer V variant because of led headlamp, leather seat and 6 airbag.
Thanks for the helpful review, Adrian! I could relate to many of the things you said as I'm upgrading to my first Japanese car. I decided to choose E because of the infotainment unit (yes, I use my phone a lot in the car, especially waze). The remote starting and cruise control are icing on the cake for me. The leather seats, more premium feel and additional speakers/2 airbags that come with the V variant are unimportant for me. Thank you for helping me choose which variant to buy. I had a headache picking and I initially thought only V variant came with the infotainment system =)
I think the design looks boring and outdated more like a 90s. Vios and maybe Almera would be better choice.
I booked V instead of E. Not much different in term if monthly payment
Covid-19 it's not over yet. The global economy has been affected, included our country. I hope government to be capable of continue taxes deduction to help improve car sales in this difficult times of disaster..
The Max Versteppan helmet got my attention!!
I've booked E variant~
Was considering betw E & V, prefer E as the sport rim is much more nicer than V, also cz of fabric seat which is more comfortable as I always need to drive long distance.
And can save RM5k, if the installment is abt RM800/mth, RM5k can be used to pay almost half a year punya installment liao😂
Good points there! Congrats on your purchase, do share your experience with other WapCar users on www.wapcar.my/forum! See you there 😃
Still have to depends on our budget. Yes monthly installment doesn't makes the 'big' differences. But hey.. we all learnt sikit sikit jadi bukit right? In summary, I'll go for E if I plan to buy one. Cheeeers!
good content bro👍👍
I booked the V variant, definitely loving it after test drive. Best hint for those who are interested, must test drive before judging a car, dont just watch videos on youtube and start acting like u have drove the car for 100k KM.
Out of curiousity, are you Bryan Chan from Sunway University who did computer science?
@@rvind92g huh? nope u have mistaken me for someone else
@@rvind92g hahaha
How was the NVH level, powertrain in acceleration?
I choose the E variant over the V too because of the better looking rim and extra rm2000 discount
Voted for E variant, we’re getting our car sometimes next week!
For Petrol variants, it's either you go for V or S. E really isn't worth it in my opinion. If you're thrifty, just go for the S. If you want some extra creature comforts, go for the V. The extra 5k is well worth it, especially with the additional 2 airbags. If you can only afford the E, my suggestion would be for you to hold your purchase, and save a little more so that you could afford the V.
Agree with u
V added some nice to have features except good extra airbags (some go 10+years or decades without any major accidents with airbags ejected - 4 is adequate for experienced healthy driver, given the probability of occurence alone ) ..
leather seat in hot humid malaysia with outdoor parking is the norm ? extra speakers is depend on personality not all like it loud for comfort and talk conversation pro people... lane watch just create more things to distract you from facing the front street (ol skool perfectly tilted side mirror is enough for decades of experience drivers), LED lamp that not stylish - like noise curling ripple effect is not good enough for me... as the E S variant is cosmetic ..
And then have to fork out extra 6k?
Gotta agree with the Carplay and Android Auto, very underrated and underappreciated features among Malaysian drivers. Heck, a lot of car owners don't even know that their cars have such features. They vastly reduced the distractions compared to using the phone when it comes to navigation and entertainment selection.
Agreed!
hi. if you can please make a comparison video between vios 2020 and city 2020, that would be much appreciated. thanks bro..
I think need to wait the new Almera to launch first. Then compare these 3
@@Crasher_7 yeahh bro agreed with you .. segment B wars
Wait for facelift vios. If it come with carplay and led headlamp. Then the winner will be vios (expect power)
What would be your advice for their Modulo Kit, worth going for it?
A little bit disappointing the 6 airbags should be make for all variance. Vios has 7 airbags for all variance no joke
I wish car manufacturers here can start offering more optional add ons and customisation to the car offerings, as for example I'm quite a picky person with unique preferences for each aspect of the car. For example, I very much prefer the E over the V mainly because of the maintenance and replacement costs for the tyre and potentially the mirrors, if V spec car with honda sensing, moto hits your mirror and the whole unit needs replacement thats 1k or 2k down the drain, compared to 200 for a primitive mirror.
On the other hand, I spec E comes with regular urethane wrapped steering wheel, and I very much prefer the leather wrapped one on the V. I also like the V spec's beige interior, whilst the E is just hard plastics.
So yeah it would be great if car companies provide more options and customisations to the interior for additional costs, though I can understand that to make this happen you would need alot more cost on the factory and supply chain side and Malaysia's car market size does not provide the necessary returns for the investment needed for it
or they should offer us to custom the car. I wouldn't mind waiting for 2-3 months if I can custom my own car TBH.
@@joshuavictor4593 same! this is a thing in USA, many car companies allow customers to customise their interior what leather colour they want etc, right now Malaysia mostly has the exterior stuff like spoiler all only
In overseas cars are sold with a base price and you can add on your accessories like headunit, wheels, etc, because they're dealer fitted options. However, in Malaysia cars are required to obtain an approved pricing from the Government so they can't have the two of the same car with drastically different price. Plus, individual spec is going to cost a lot more which majority of Malaysian consumers are not willing to pay haha.
@@WapCar wow TIL! (Today I learned)
Government policies promoting anti consumer behaviours, what a surprise 🙄
I can imagine if the taxes isn't so high so the base price for a city is 60k for example, then by the time you add on everything you like it gets to 80k-90k, people are still willing to swallow that amount, but nope! Its just not made for malaysians to have nice things isnt it
Hi Adrian, the comparison tool of E vs V spec has a mistake on front & rear/curtain airbags, it shows E got both, but V has none.
Thanks for the spot, Dave! Our team is rectifying it as we speak
RS mention by Jan 2021, but already Feb 2021 Honda Malaysia still not announced yet.
Can the V variant option the modulo body kit package? And why the rims are worse than s,e
Money aside
Which one is more preferable?
Honda city 1.5v or honda civic 1.5tc/tcp
Which one worth the value?
What I don't understand is why the middle e spec use two tone rims but the high v spec use single tone rims?
Exactly ugh
V spec uses 2 tones. Silver and grey. And it looks more luxurious than the mainstream 2 TONES these days.
We're puzzled too haha
I’m upgrading from proton wira to the new city V. I wonder if can add the Honda Sensing features into the V and how much it will cost? Is it worth it?
I think you can't. If you want honda sensing you must go for rs.
If you do a lot of city driving, I suggest you go for the RS model. You'll get more savings over the long run for your money. Although the price isn't out yet, but if it's cost 7k-8k more then it's fine. If it's more than 8k over the V variant, I suggest sticking with the V variant then.
We'd advice against that, you'll never know whether these retrofitted safety systems are calibrated up to manufacturer specs haha
Hi there, quick question: Will the high speeds power (e.g. 110km/h-140km/h) be an issue given it is driven by the 98hp motor only? The electric motor seems to do fine with 253Nm torque for low end, but worried on high speed power. Any thoughts?
For RS spec.
For cruising is fine, when you put your foot down, the electric motor also kicks in to give you that added boost although not the full 253 Nm. 😃
Which Almera variant would you buy and would you chose the Nissan over the Honda?
The mid-grade Almera VLP, has everything you need 😃 As for City or Almera, stay tuned for the next video!
Do you think is it suitable to buy Rs or V?🤔🥰
I choose S because I m thrifty and careful in my spending. For me, the extra features in E are infosystem and reverse camea which i don't really need. It's a city anyway, if i spend near to 100k why don't I upgrade to civic.
is that Max helmet design from 2018, before the Honda PU supply?
Yeap! 😃
It's already March and yet to hear anything about the RS.
so no 1.0L turbocharged?
Halogen projectors on honda city for low spec variants still acceptable but halogen reflector on Nissan almera is totally unacceptable especially the starting price is around RM80k plus btw i think City (E) is good enough
But almera come standard with AEB. That is more important then projector headlight. City only come with 4 air bag in lowest spec and only get auto brake on rs model which for sure gonna cost more then 90k.
@@nashrulaqil4365 yeah AEB standard across all variant on nissan almera is big advantage no doubt about that
I booked the E spec instead of the V simply because i simply don't have the budget for it. But for 5K plus it is actually pretty worth it, maybe besides the rim on the V spec everything else is an upgrade😂
E is still a great choice! Do share your experience of your new Honda City with other WapCar fans on www.wapcar.my/forum!
Hi Adrian I booked the V. Initially I wanted the immd RS but looking at the price I chose the v
V variant is better... engine also upgrade compare to previous model, good price offered to go against competitors ex new ameera, even proton x50 etc although not coming from same segment...
Timing chain or timing belt? What's the replacement interval like?
from the images, looks like a timing chain running the sprockets of the twin cams. as for maintenance of the said system, no mention in Honda PMS. www.honda.com.my/aftersales/maintenance (select City 2020)
@@siewwengwong1434 Hey thanks for replying. A quick check on the L15B 1489cc engine, the good news it runs on a timing chain! Hooray maintenance-free
S and E spec sport rim look nice than V spec. Most Malaysians prefer that the interior of the car is dominated by black. White or beige is easy to get dirty expecially the door armrest.
True, which was why Honda Malaysia discontinued the HR-V ivory interior which we find it a shame!
A very good friend of mine who is a foreman for 20 years told me that if we don't have which model or which variant to buy, go for second cheapest model and/or the second highest variant.
the second highest for City is V variant.. haha
If car marker really care about climate change, hybrid automotive selling price must reduce to attract consumer. I believe the sales volume will be greatly increased.
Another big factor is Government policies and infrastructure support. Without incentives, manufacturing, selling, and supporting hybrid vehicles would be very costly in Malaysia.
Peminat Ke 29...
been to Honda showroom last week. the test drive unit is not available so i decided not to go ahead with booking. Hate to say this, but I think E spec looks much better, especially with the 15-inch dual-tone sportrim , rather than bigger 16-inch single-colour-ordinary-looks rims on V. don't take my word for it, go and see it yourself.
i don't particularly like previous gen city NVH, where I think Vios/Yaris excels in. internet review mention better NVH for this new gen city but a bit disappointed since I cannot test drive one.
Personal preference I dislike touch screen, S variant is well equip for a uncle like me...
But it only has 4 airbags which is really outdated as a 2020 car. It's like having the 60hz screen on the iphone 12 in 2020, imagine that.... quite pathetic tbh
@@Yddp3307 true. Almera come standard with AEB and city only give 4 air bags.
@@Yddp3307 True, hope the M'sia dealer can be more sincere to the customer in the future with at affordable price...
@@nashrulaqil4365 but the base model almera only has 2 airbags but fortunately the mid spec almera has 6 airbags, but not having 6 airbags for the mid spec honda city is unacceptable
@@Yddp3307 true. But atleast nissan try bring new technology even on their lowest variant. Honda give all the good and new tech of honda sensing only for city rs which for sure gonna cost over 90k or maybe even can be 100k. And just want to know what is your opinion on almera mid spec vs city v, both cost at high 80k. Which want you think more worth it.
Daniel Riccardo or max verstappen helmet is that?
Alex Albon's
max
