- Here it is! The all-new Honda City 2021 - Due to the many requests for us to test this car, we rushed to get this video out ASAP.
The New City has 4 variants - 3 of them sport the new 1.5 litre DOHC engine, and carry the grades S, E, and V, while the 4th one runs Honda's i-MMD hybrid system, and is called the RS.
The RS is not available as yet, but we managed to get our hands on the 1.5V - and here is the video. Stay Tuned for More! - ยานยนต์และพาหนะ

thanks. obviously almera is quieter and better for uphill acceleration though.
I can undoubtedly say that age is just a number! You always love to do what you are good at! a Very lovely drive!!
i'm amazed with your smooth handling at every corner and i wonder who is this uncle. then i check on your profile and i am damned, you're a rally driver! kudos!
now my baby modern steel gn2 is happy. thanks uncle for showing this video!
I am from the Philippines and figured half as much you were into racing. You managed to make driving a City great! :-)
Ur really top notch in driving.... superb!!!
Like the sound when you take the corners 😁
Hmmm, you like tyre screech?
you are the best.. Love to watch how car perform at 5k rpm and above.
Mampu bayangkan saja bawa mcmni.terbaik uncle drive
My 2016 city still running solid 💪🏼
Great video sir👌🔥🔥🔥
Good review and excellence driving skill , the phrase " this is sedan family car " got me hahahha
uncle you are great , i mean you driven really crazy and yeah thanks for testing this vtec beast to its extreme
I would like to believe I drove very carefully.
Nice drive Uncle Khong. For part 2, pls switch off the traction control as well.
Thank you sir for the video! 👍👍
My pleasure!
Uncle very enjoying every corner 🔥
Cant wait for Part 2....
Amazing drive!
Thanks! Hope you subscribed!
The Malaysian highways looks very exciting to drive on and scenery too. You definitely won't sleep on this curvy road, nomatter how tired you are
I got to say that this City is a handsome car that hides its mass pretty well. At one glance, it looks smaller than the out going model, but in actual fact it's slightly bigger! Judging from the drive, it looks like a capable B sedan for those looking for a compact and honest family sedan. Great review as usual sir!😄👍
Thanks Nick for your great support.
But this new City have lots of quality issues, steering rack, oil compressor leaking, body quality, rubber lining and honda cvt. Going to service center but problems never ending
@@juck2263 Really? Then this quality issue trend is worrying as my friend's new CRV 1.5T AWD has turbo issues too. Time to file your complaints to Honda Japan.
kind of odd an oil compressor for a benzene/gas ICE engine?
(may be beyond my knowledge an ICE have an oil compressor.
Can you compare the feeling of driving Almera 2021 vs honda city 2021?
wow...just loved it...you trusted Honda :)
Finally, the one video that I've been waiting for as others have already done it. haha.
Thank you for watching.
on going every corner ， the tyres is always complain uncle ultimate driving style .
Uncle Khong..... When will you test the RS and we are still waiting for the part 2
I think the stock tyre can't hold much the aggressive cornering. As I watched previous video before, I think the Vios GRS and Almera VL-T will be performed much steady and faster compare to City V. Anywhere, I still want to find out which B segment sedan have the best handling. Thanks uncle for the excellence run
Answer : Mazda2.
Wow Mr. Khong, that was impressive driving, I do not dare to drive like you
Yes, you need to be a trained driver to do that.
Great video as usual! So looking forward to the new Civic, which I think is due out later this year.
New Civic front look like Audi and back rear look like Hyundai
@@juck2263 Yes, Honda have released the prototype sedan but we haven't really seen the hatch yet. It does look a bit Audi like. Still a lot to learn about the engines and tech that will be supplied.
Fingers crossed!
Nah, no way it looks like Audi. Some say the rear looks like BMW, but I am sort of blind when it comes to things like this. I don't really car how it looks, as long as it drives well, at least up to a point, hahaha.
I loved the Multipla, for what it could do, but most people I know would go "Yeccchhhh!"
@@YSKhongDriving Good point. I would take a well handling, well performing ugly car over a poor handling beauty any day!
Love the engine sound going uphill. it's effortless.
Any idea how fast was it?
Nice car ❤️. Just fit a front lip spoiler it will complete the cars look. Steering from Accord that’s a nice touch.
But got lots of quality issues including steering rack, rubber lining, oil compressor leaking including honda cvt for this City. Going to service center but problems can’t be solved
The best Genting Run from Mr YS Khong again. May I know can we go up to Genting from Melaka?
Yes you can, after MCO. We had a fan who came up from Muar, to join us, twice. We featured his Mercedes C200 in our channel.
nice😍😍😍
can try vios g spec up to hill？wanna see the difference😍
Cantik dan padu la honda city niii
I've never been sure about the City, certainly a car I'd rather be in than look at.
Great video as always 👍🏻, I've noticed the fastest hill runs are when the Roti canai restaurant has a special promotion 🤔😀
Hahaha, but I did not stop there. I have not stopped for a while now - just a precaution to minimize contact. I just do my thing, then come back.
Can you do a review of Toyota Vios facelift 😀 it was a pleasure if you can do 🤩
We will try.
Previous gen Honda City using a Good Year (come together with the car), I still remember very noisy when going fast at 130km/h.
Nowadays, tyre noise does seem louder as tyre makers fight to get more durability. Quieter tyres usually cannot last as long due to softer compounds. A thre is usually a compromise between road noise, grip, wet performance, dry performance and durability and often, one attribute will affect and work against another.
My RS will be out on Tuesday. Can't wait anymore.
Btw, im a fan from the Philippines.
Hi Sarah Kai. Thanks for gracing our channel! We have many fans from your country. I love the Philippines!
Review Honda Crv facelift 2021
Cant' wait for the RS version to come out.
100k
@@Potatocat_ and also got quality issues for City RS, steering rack, body quality and rubber lining.
very nice driving uncle
Not a powerful car, but indeed uncle had some fun there. It's quite nice to see that the City holds on in gear without auto-shift in sport mode
It does shift up if you can build up enough speed to reduce the pressure in the CVT.
It seems like the dohc engine sound is slightly softer than previous gen sohc engine, which is a good thing.
Yes, it seems so.
Funny that I find my unit sounded a bit rough, almost like diesel clatter…
@@elphidieus Don’t forget got lots of quality issues like steering rack, rubber lining, body quality, oil compressor leaking and honda cvt for this new City. Going to service center but problem never ending
Great drive as usual uncle Khong. I got the same model from nov last year. Because of the mco it’s only done 550km😂😂😂
Awwww! With mco over, perhaps now you can drive more.
Wow good drive uncle
Review 1.0 City RS on mountains
Uncle YS going flat out up the Genting hill: “There’s a monkey!”; “That was a mosquito!”
Uncle YS, which handles better? This city or vios? Do this city need to upgrade to a better/more grip tyre than the stock ?
Any car with a tyre upgrade will handle better.
Why ain't these road fit with drain covers on both sides? Is it to prevent Initial D Toyota AE86 uses the drain cover for drifting? =D
Hmmm, never thought of it like that, but probably the real reason is to carry more water when there is heavier rain. Gratings can get clogged up with debris and leaves, since there is jungle all around.
I love watching things i couldn't buy
Would love to see a FC video similar to the one done for Almera
Car has been returned, so maybe next time.
@@YSKhongDriving thanks uncle!! Take care
thank you sir
Most welcome
Hi Uncle, as compared to X50 premium going uphill, which one has better power and handling? Could you clarify abit from your experience?thanks
The X50 has 177PS, versus the City 120PS.
Hopefully, you can test drive the hybrid City when the MCO finally ends.
Nah if it ends Uncle won't have empty roads to ride like this
Waiting your next video with driving a new Honda City Hachback uncle 👍
Yup, will try to get one ASAP. Stay tuned.
Hi uncle, I have this same car but different spec. I also love to go for drives like these, just not as fast as that. Do you mind giving me advice on how to keep the gearbox in good condition and any mistakes i might make to damage the car in any way?
Just service it regularly at your Honda centre. And use a good oil.
kowtow to your driving skill and courtesy.
I liked that engine sound mcm main game ps 😂 is vtec on 🔥
Compare with Nissan almera turbo you recently drove to genting which is overall better interm of power, handling, refinement, nvh, etc.?
You can watch both the videos side by side and decide
Less tire screeching in this City compared to MYVI, also the body roll seems quite bad judging from how the bonnet is tilting left and right while the GoPro stables the footage. Is it true that the body roll is quite bad?
Felt okay to me. There is no car with zero body roll. Also remember this is a family seday, and not a Civic Type R.
uncle: we just doing this for fun
tires: but we cant tahan
Bad driving - overworking the tyres.
Uncle do the mosquito catching while cornering at high speed🤣🤣🤣
Hi Uncle Khong, for long terms usage, is City RS better or City V spec better?
Both are good, and much depends on what you really want. The RS would be more powerful, for sure, and saves on fuel, but costs more of course.
Uncle Khong, for Genting climb up, Mazda 3 1.5 or this one?
The Mazda 3 is a C segnent, so is a heavier car. If you want a nice big car, that would be the choice. The City is probably faster going up the hill due to the lighter weight.
Hi uncle YS, any chance to review the City RS now that it's on the road? :) Thanks!
Depends on whether I can get a car.
Uncle YS, which one have better performance between Mazda 2 and all new Honda City?
Watch the videos and see for yourself.
uncle buat video nk setting auto cermin kereta honda city
Man i wish we had highways like those here in the Philippines. We just get a long boring strip of road that goes from south to north. Once you reach the northern mountains, there will be trucks going 20-30 kmh on a 2 way 2 lane highway. I'm jealous.
Come over when this pandemic is over, and be my guest on one of our drives. This is truly one of the best routes, thanks to Genting Bhd, the company that built it.
Hi Khong, how does it perform compare to the gm6?
A lot better. Quieter chassis.
Good evening, can uncle do a review on Honda City RS eHEV test drive to Genting? Thanks
Waiting for car from Honda
Uncle, what do you think of torsion beam? can it rival double wishbone suspension?
No way.
No way from me as well. Driven a few cars with torsion beam and multi-link/wishbone... you can find different at normal drive when hit some uneven road on 1 side... a hole or a bump on 1 side.... for torsion beam, you feel the back of the car shakes heavily and harshly, while for multi-link/wishbone, usually just feel the one side hit the holes is shakes but not the other side.... this is confirmed!
Nice sir
Uncle YS, Honda City 2021 1.5 V with Toyota Vios GR, which one do you like better?
Both are very close. The City has more power, but the Vios GR has sports suspension and 10 speed with locked ratios, but costs a bit more. I enjoyed both.
@@YSKhongDriving But if you don't look at the paper specs, can you really feel the difference of power between the 2 ?
Hi uncle,
I've seen your new vios and new city video.. need your opinion on how this two would compare as I'm stuck choosing which one to buy 😅. Thanks in advance!
Both are great cars. Choose one. And you can buy either one through us. We also sell Honda.
@@YSKhongDriving oh thanks😊
Might be late, but which one did u choose? 😅
@@achaAoki i bought 2021 vios! Great car not to say better than city but is worth the money compare to city as everything comes with the car. Fullsize spare tyre, pump, full accessories, dashcam etc².. as honda everything need to buy separately 😆
Nice driving... could never drive as well as you, because i am too conservative when it comes to driving.. funny though, i like speed too. Its better to watch other, like you driving fast yet skillful and it appears to me very safe...
Thank you. Being safe is the top priority.
Hi Uncle YS, given the handling stability and comfort from stock specification, do you think we need to install additional stabilizer bar, or even changing to slightly wider tire (eg. 195/60/R16)?
Anything is possible if you want it, but in stock form it appears to be already quite good. Of course wider tyree will improve grip, and a bigger stabilizer may reduce body roll, but does not necessarily equate to better handling.
@@YSKhongDriving Super! Thank you on your thought!
How does it compare with Nissan Almera 1.0 Turbo? Which one is quicker and faster, in feel and in reality?
I think the City is still marginally faster: the Almera is about fuel efficiency, but nice to drive too.
Hi Uncle Khong, how is this compared to the previous gen City since the main difference is likely just the engine.
The body is all- new too.
@@YSKhongDriving that too, does is result is any difference in term of handling
Uncle ys Honda City or Nissan Almera 1.0 Turbo which one more suitable for hill climb ?
We are just checking out the car's handling performance against a set of corners.
Hi..csn you do review on Iriz 1.6 Manual?
No car available.
How's the overall handling vs the Yaris / Vios?
Watch both videos.
hati kering la this uncle. family car drive like ferrari;P
Cant wait for uncle khong to take honda city rs immd up the mountain 😁
Me too! I drove a car with a similar system in Japan, and the technology behind it is revolutionary - think of it was an electric car with and engine, rather as a car with an engine and an electric motor.
Uncle YS Khong, which one more powerful vios or city? on paper city is more torque and hp...
On paper the City has more power.
How would you rate the chassis, handling and powerband (or responsiveness) between this car and the Almera 1.0 Turbo? Thanks, Uncle! 👍
Since both cars have been driven on the same road, it would be a good chance for everybody to judge!
@@YSKhongDriving what's ur personal opinion?
the cabin noise level seems well insulated for a city. i wonder if the driving experience / comfort can be compared with the 1.8 civic?
Cannot, because this one has a torsion beam versus multilink. And Civic is a larger car with bigger tyres.
@@YSKhongDriving thanks for the feedback. i'm currently driving a city as well (old model) and the NVH is just appallingly deafening. it would seem the terrible NVH is the one aspect of the City that Honda has never attempted to resolve.
Best if you do test drive before you buy.
The return of the DOHC!
Yes, a welcome change
Annddd.... Honda went full circle. DOHC on K-series, then tried their best to justify the unjustifiable existence of the SOHC R-series..., now came back to DOHC. Don't they ever heard of, don't fix the wheel if it ain't broken?
But NVH quality got issues. Also Earth Dream Gearbox got problem too
@@muhdahmadirfan1691 true. New City quality got too many issues for paint and both exterior quality and interior quality are also lemon.
@@juck2263 obviously CKD related issues... All those are locally put together...
Boleh naik genting x
this is fast!!!
I enjoyed ur cars review videos thumb up 👍
Happy to see u and stay safe
Thanks, you too!
im dying waiting now new honda city that uncle should driving to genting! 😁
same here
@@desmondyeoh9399 using the new DOHC engine supposed the new city is puchy than the facelift it replace before..
At 100km/h+,
How much is the RPM?
How is the CVT and engine?
Didn't look. If we do a consumption test we will note the RPM. Thanks for watching.
What's the difference between SOHC and DOHC engines in terms of performance and fuel consumption
Honda have moved from DoHC to SOHC and back to DOHC, but each time they have refined the tuning. I believe DOHC has more potential for power.
While waiting for the RS to launch, all the competitors have arrived to their destination and back, including the kancil 660. :P
Doesnt mind, i believe rs a.k.a hybrid city is less favourable variant. Reflex to pre order that cust more to choose V variant than RS.
Uncle ys, which is much better? The almera 1.0 turbo or this city 1.5? Planning to buy the almera 1.0 turbo as i am amazed on its performace but i havent tested the city 1.5 yet. Thank you
You sound like you already want the Almera. It is a good car too. We have both videos on the channel. Watch them both and decide.
You can book the City through us at shop.yskhongdriving.com
@@YSKhongDriving yup watched both the city and almera when you drove it. Im more of a driver like you who wants to drive spiritedly. Would you recommend the almera over the city when it comes to performance and for aggressive driving? Btw uncle you driving is awesome 👏
How you think if it compare with Yaris ?
Yaris is quite better than City as Yaris comes with PCS (Pre Collison System) including AEB (Automonous Emergency Braking), LDW (Lane Departure Warning), Dashcam with FCW (Front Collison Warning), BSM (Blind Spot Monitor), RCTA (Rear Cross Traffic Alert), ESS (Emergency Stop Signal) and 3D 360 degree camera. Unlike, City, it didn’t come with AEB but only come with LaneWatch (known as Blind Spot Monitor but only side camera). Even City S (low spec) and City E (mid spec) only come with 4 airbags but also No AEB. Moreover, Toyota gearbox is more reliable than Honda gearbox, especially for Toyota quality is also better than Honda quality.
The Honda City is slightly specced better in India in the top variant but has higher ride height by couple of inches. We don't get the RS variant :\. As always love the hill climb. I remember being driven to Genting in Cab I took from KL sentral coupla years back, all the time I thought, damn this road really needs a sports sedan, but nothing too heavy like an M3, maybe an M2CS!
We have a video with the M3 going up. I suppose for India you would need the higher road clearance because of the road conditions. You would possibly have stiffer springs and larger diameter shocks for durability.
Wow what a nice car! Great video uncle, love those small cars. Looks way better than a civic.
But look more uglier than previous City.
@@muhdahmadirfan1691 Agree. City taillights look like 3 Series and front bumper looks ugly. Even dashboard looks too downgraded unlike the others.
@@juck2263 Yes the taillights are similar to that of a bmw, but it's quite beautiful in my opinion. The front bumper is ugly for sure, too massive for such a small engine displacement. The dashboard is too simple. The previous gen looked more athletic, but the ga2 jazz city is the best looking of all the city in my opinion.
Hi. Observed that there is a stick-out black round bar (not sure what type of material) holding the gopro. May become potential hazard to you Uncle should any incident occur. Perhaps that you could perform a risk assessment for this. Btw, stay safe Uncle.
Thanks.
