There will be loads of activities as they celebrate 17 successful years since their establishment here in the country. (more…)
It’s almost the year 2020 and what better way to showcase a manufacturer’s Super GT entry than unveiling an ultra-unique 2020 Honda NSX with its engine at the front! Why? New Class One regulations have stated that all race cars will be adopting a front-engine setup. (more…)
Since early this year, there have been reports of the PDRM getting the Honda Civic Type R for their fleet, with pictures of some units in PDRM colours. Perhaps they are evaluating the powerful model to replace or complement their Mitsubishi Lancer EVOs.
Anyway, while the PDRM does its testing, Honda Malaysia has presented one unit of the Civic Type R to His Majesty Seri Paduka Baginda The Yang di-Pertuan Agong XVI Al-Sultan Abdullah Ri’ayatuddin Al-Mustafa Billah Shah Ibni Almarhum Sultan Haji Ahmad Shah Al-Musta’in Billah. The car is a gift to His Majesty for his official birthday.
To be used as escort car
It is understood that the car will be used as an escort car for King. Additionally, a Civic 1.5 VTEC Turbocharged Premium was also presented to Her Majesty Seri Paduka Baginda The Raja Permaisuri Agong Tunku Hajah Azizah Aminah Maimunah Iskandariah Binti Almarhum Al-Mutawakkil Alallah Sultan Iskandar Al-Haj, also for use as an escort car.
“At Honda, we are committed to offer products that are of high value and also advanced in technology to provide joy to our customers. The Civic Type R was the model which claimed the title of ‘World’s Fastest Front-Wheel-Drive’ production car at Germany’s legendary Nurburgring racetrack when it was first introduced in 2017. This model is not only ideal to drive on track but also on the road as a daily commute car. On behalf of Honda Malaysia, I am truly honoured to present the Civic Type R to His Majesty The Yang di-Pertuan Agong for his daily use as an escort car, said the Managing Director & CEO Honda Malaysia, Toichi Ishiyama, at the handover ceremony.
Honda Malaysia has announced that the latest 2019 Honda Civic facelift is now open for booking ahead of its launch somewhere in the coming months. Interested parties can do so at any of the 98 Honda dealerships across Malaysia. (more…)
“For many years now, the City has been the best-selling B-segment model in Malaysia. As a way to give more value to Malaysians who have been very supportive towards Honda Malaysia, we have decided to introduce a Special Edition to the City with an attractive price of RM75,955, excluding insurance,” said Toichi Ishiyama, Managing Director & CEO of Honda Malaysia Sdn Bhd (HMSB).
The value-added extras
Besides two colour choices – White Orchid Pearl and Passion Red Pearl – the City Special Edition has additional value-added features to offer more convenience to the customers. These features are two Digital Video Recorders (DVRs), Built-in Tollcard Reader, Door Visors and Boot Organiser.
The DVR (shown above) offers peace of mind for drivers as it keeps video recordings of the journey, with a second unit for rear view recording. In the event of a dispute after accident, the records could establish how the accident occurred and which party is responsible.
The Built-in Toll Reader (pictured below) offers more convenience for motorists as they do not have to pause to touch the card or, if they do not fix the electronic tag, hold the unit up as they pass through the toll plaza. The Built-in Toll Reader works with a TouchNGo card slotted in and is installed in the glovebox. The signal is sent from a small unit in the windscreen. The remaining value in the card is also visible on a small display.
As for the Door Visors (above), these have been aerodynamically optimized to have minimum wind noise. They can act as rain guards, allowing the driver or passengers to roll the glass down slightly for fresh air when it rains.
The Boot Organiser (below) will be useful for keeping large and small items in place. Women will appreciate it as it can keep pairs of shoes together instead of being shifted around when the car is cornering.
34% of Honda sales in Malaysia
The City, which has a 1.5-litre i-VTEC engine, has been the biggest sales contributor for HMSB. From January to July this year, it accounted for 34% of total sales for the company.
“The City Special Edition is being offered in conjunction with our Road to 900,000th Unit Milestone Campaign. I hope everyone can grab the opportunity and visit any of our 98 Honda dealerships nationwide to view, test drive and book the City Special Edition today!” Mr. Ishiyama said.

Sometime in the third quarter of 2019, Honda will deliver its 900,000th vehicle in Malaysia. It’s a significant milestone for the brand which has been a household name among Malaysians for decades and Honda Malaysia intends to celebrate the milestone in a big way.
The campaign with its tagline ‘Terima Kasih 900K’ was launched last month and builds the momentum towards achieving the milestone. Today, the company announced a collaboration with three major brands – Astro Radio, Tealive and unifi – on the ‘Road to 900,000th Unit Milestone’.
The ‘Road to 900,000th Unit Milestone’ campaign will see lucky Malaysians driving home 9 new Honda models. Three of the models will be given away to participants in contests organised by Astro Radio, Tealive and unifi.
Collaboration with homegrown brands
”The collaboration with these homegrown brands is a first for Honda Malaysia and will offer more value to Malaysians. We are very excited about this campaign as it provides an excellent opportunity to reward Malaysians for their unwavering support. It is a gesture of appreciation for the customers’ trust that has helped make each of these brands, including Honda, a sought-after brand in Malaysia,” said Honda Malaysia’s Managing Director & CEO, Toichi Ishiyama.
“I am pleased to note that we have been receiving encouraging participation in the ‘Road to 900,000th Unit Milestone’ Campaign. We believe this campaign will further elevate the Joy of Owning a Honda car for our customers,” Mr. Ishiyama added.
Honda Malaysia today also announced the campaign’s first lucky winner who will be driving home a Civic 1.5 Turbo. The announcement was made at a ceremony held at a Honda dealership in Kelantan. The winner, Mohamad Adib Fida’iy bin Mohamad Hanapi, will receive his car during the campaign’s Grand Event at the end of September 2019.

Honda Malaysia Sdn Bhd (HMSB) has announced a recall of 7,050 units of its CR-V model to replace the gear push knob button. The recall affects only the 2018 model year and is being carried out as a precautionary measure. All other current selling models are not affected.
The precautionary measure is to address the possibility of customers facing difficulty with the CR-V’s automatic transmission lever when shifting from PARK position to other gear positions.
Apologising for the inconvenience caused to customers, HMSB says the replacement of the part is free of charge and all related costs will be borne by the company.
All affected customers will be informed via notification letters, which will include details of the product update. Customers who receive the letter are advised to send their vehicles to the nearest authorised Honda dealers for inspection. The replacement stock will be available in stages.
In the event that you do not receive a notification letter, you can obtain clarification by calling the Honda Toll Free number at 1-800-88-2020 or visit www.honda.com.my.
