At KLIMS 2024, Honda Malaysia not only showcased the concept coupe model, Honda Prelude, but also unveiled an electric SUV – the Honda e:N1.
Despite sharing a similar appearance to the Honda HR-V, the e:N1 utilizes the e:N Architecture F platform, which offers a more rigid body structure, a lower center of gravity, and a more aerodynamic underbody.
It is powered by a front-wheel-drive electric motor that delivers 201 hp and 310 Nm of torque, paired with a 68.8 kWh battery pack.
With a full charge, the e:N1 can travel up to 412 km.
What sets the e:N1 apart from the standard HR-V is the presence of a charging port that replaces the front grille structure, along with the words “Honda” displayed in a more modern font at the rear.
The layout of the e:N1’s cabin also appears quite different from the HR-V, featuring a 15-inch central screen, a 10.25-inch digital cluster screen, and support for Apple CarPlay and Android Auto.
At this time, Honda Malaysia has not officially revealed the detailed specifications for the e:N1 in the local market.
However, it is expected to be the first electric vehicle officially brought into the country by Honda Malaysia, with its launch scheduled for next year (2025).
For your information, Honda has already started production of the Honda e:N1 electric SUV at the Rojana Industrial Park in Prachinburi Province, Thailand by the end of 2023.
The real question is, what will be the selling price set by Honda Malaysia for the e:N1 model? Currently, the Honda HR-V e:HEV variant available in the Malaysian market is priced at RM140,800.
At KLIMS 2024, the all-red Honda Prelude Concept made its debut in Asia, outside of Japan.
For those who may not know, particularly the younger generation, the iconic name Prelude has already existed through five generations since its inception in 1978, before its production ended in 2001.
After a long period of silence, Honda surprised everyone by showcasing the Prelude concept model at the Japan Mobility Show 2023.
The Honda Prelude Concept has been confirmed to enter production in 2025-2026, aiming to replace the coupe models from the Civic and Accord families.
For the full news regarding the Honda Prelude, you can read more at the link below:
Boon Siew Honda has announced the return of the White Trico color option for the Honda RS150R underbone motorcycle, alongside two other attractive colors: Matte Blue and Silver.
With this latest update, the selling price of the Honda RS150R now starts at RM8,379 on the road, excluding insurance—an increase of RM80 compared to the previous offering.
As usual, the mechanical aspects of this motorcycle remain unchanged.
This means that the RS150R retains its 149.2 cc single-cylinder engine, capable of generating 15.8 hp at 9,000 rpm and 13.6 Nm of torque at 7,000 rpm.
The suspension system consists of telescopic forks at the front, followed by a single shock absorber at the rear, while the braking system is supported by disc brakes at both the front and rear.
Other features include an LED headlight system, a fuel tank capacity of 4.5 liters, and a digital LCD display.
Honda Malaysia has confirmed that the hybrid coupe concept model, the Honda Prelude Concept will make its official debut at the Kuala Lumpur International Motor Show (KLIMS) from December 5 to 11.
This makes Malaysia the first country in Asia, after Japan, to showcase this hybrid coupe model.
The Honda Prelude was first revealed at the Japan Mobility Show 2023 and has been announced to enter production by the middle of this decade.
According to various reports, this new generation Honda Prelude will be built on the existing Civic platform and will utilize e:HEV hybrid technology with two electric motors capable of generating up to 208 horsepower.
There are also rumors that Honda engineers will pair the hybrid engine with a six-speed manual transmission featuring rev-matching functionality from the Civic RS.
Regardless of the speculation circulating online, it is certain that the production version of the Honda Prelude will officially debut in the second half of 2025, starting with the European market.
Honda may not be the first brand that springs to mind when discussing off-road vehicles, but the company is hoping to change it with the all-new fourth-generation Passport.
Much like its predecessors, the Passport will be exclusively available in the North American market. For the 2026 model year, it will be offered in three distinct variants, RTL, TrailSport, and TrailSport Elite, with prices starting from the mid-$40,000s (approximately RM178,708).
Each variant boasts a unique appearance. The RTL features sleek black trim and grille, a roof spoiler, and a silver skid garnish front and rear. It rides on 18-inch Gloss Shark Gray wheels fitted with 265/60 R18 all-season tyres.
In contrast, the TrailSport and TrailSport Elite present a more rugged aesthetic, equipped with exclusive off-road hardware such as bright orange heavy-duty recovery hooks, thick steel skid plates, and General Grabber all-terrain tyres in a size of 275/60 R18.
When compared to the third-generation model, the new Passport’s wheelbase has been extended (+2.75 inches) for better ride comfort, alongside wider tracks (+1.3 inches at the front and +1.5 inches at the rear) that contribute to improve cornering stability.
What’s particularly noteworthy is the matte black finish of the rear roof section, which is there to enable owners to lean skis, fishing poles and other equipment without fretting over scratches or damage.
Inside, Honda describes the Passport as perfectly suited for both daily routines and weekend adventures. The RTL variant features luxurious leather upholstery, while the TrailSport variants come with easy-to-clean synthetic leather.
Honda claims the 2026 Passport has the most cargo room in the model’s history, boasting up to 83.5 cubic feet behind the first row and 44 cubic feet behind the second row, which includes a larger redesigned underfloor storage area.
The cargo area is also offers plenty of space for those who enjoy the great outdoors, accommodating full-sized golf bags laid sideways, a large stroller, or two adult mountain bikes (with front wheels removed) when the rear seats are fully folded down.
On the equipment front, the Passport includes a 10.2-inch digital instrument panel and a 12.3-inch touchscreen—54% larger than its predecessor—featuring Google integration, as well as wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto compatibility.
Under the hood, the Passport is powered by a 3.5-litre V6 engine that delivers 285 hp and 355 Nm of torque, representing a 5 hp increase over earlier models. Power is directed to the wheels through a newly fine-tuned 10-speed automatic transmission specifically calibrated for the Passport.
Moreover, this SUV is equipped with the second-generation torque vectoring i-VTM4 all-wheel drive system, capable of handling 40% more torque and providing 30% faster response. This results in optimised traction across various driving scenarios.
Also enhanced is the suspension system, now featuring stronger forged steel suspension arms and cast-iron knuckles, alongside retuned MacPherson and multilink struts for a more confident handling feel. The steering ratio has also been recalibrated to provide quicker response.
The constraints of size have resulted in a limited number of appealing and well-balanced A-segment sedan models in the global market.
Honda appears to be challenging this skeptical view with the design images of the all-new third-generation Amaze 2025.
Essentially, the Honda Amaze 2025 is a third generation compact sedan measuring under four meters in length and is set to be officially launched on December 4.
It features a front design inspired by the HR-V SUV, complemented by a rear section from the City sedan, while the cabin offers a more streamlined layout reminiscent of the Civic.
The Amaze cabin is likely to incorporate similar features as those found in the Honda Elevate, including a 10.25-inch touchscreen, support for Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, digital air conditioning controls, and rectangular air vents.
The Honda Amaze is expected to maintain its use of a 1.2-liter inline four-cylinder engine delivering 90 PS and 110 Nm, or an option for the 1.5-liter i-DTEC diesel engine producing 100 PS and 200 Nm, which can be paired with either a manual or CVT gearbox.
Upon its official launch, the Honda Amaze 2025 is expected to compete with the Maruti Suzuki Dzire, Hyundai Aura, and Tata Tigor.
Honda Malaysia has announced a proactive product update involving approximately 36,000 units of the Civic, Civic Type R, and CR-V.
According to the company, the activity is to update the Electric Power Steering (EPS) gearbox. The EPS gearbox worm wheel may swell and reduce grease film thickness, causing abnormal steering noise or sticky steering.
The models involved include Civic Year Model 2022-2024, Civic Type R Year Model 2023-2024, and CR-V Year Model 2024.
Honda Malaysia said it apologises for the inconvenience caused to affected customers and reassures that other current production and selling models are not affected in this product update.
“The company believes this proactive product update is necessary as customer safety is Honda Malaysia’s top priority,” it said in a statement.
All affected customers will be informed via notification letters, which will include details of the product update.
Honda Malaysia urges all customers involved in this update to contact any Honda authorised dealer to make an appointment upon receiving the notification, to have their vehicles inspected and/or repaired if required.
Honda Malaysia will bear the cost of inspection, repair or replacement of the affected parts in this activity. The replacement stock will be available in stages starting from December 2024.
Honda has officially announced the discontinuation of the Super Cub 50 cc model due to the implementation of stricter emission regulations.
To celebrate this milestone, Honda has launched the Super Cub 50 Final Edition, featuring classic colors of white and Bonnie Blue inspired by the original Super Cub.
The Super Cub 50 Final Edition also boasts a two-tone solo seat, a special “Honda 50 Final Edition” emblem, a classic instrument cluster, a rear rack, and a uniquely designed key.
For the Japanese market, the Super Cub 50 comes equipped with a 49 cc engine producing 3.6 hp and 3.8 Nm of torque.
Production of this Final Edition will be limited to just 2,000 units, each priced at ¥270,000 (approximately RM7,743).
In Japan, 50 cc motorcycles have been a key pillar of the transportation system during the post-war economic boom. Due to their affordability and fuel efficiency, they have also remained a popular choice among workers and students.
In addition to stricter emission laws, the rising popularity of e-bikes and electric scooters has contributed to a decline in sales of these small-displacement motorcycles.
Driving an electric vehicle (EV) that is too quiet and smooth without any mechanical vibrations may not be suitable for everyone, especially those with an old-school soul.
So, Honda wants to ensure that their EV models to come will have unique driving characteristics and experiences.
During the recent 0 Tech Meeting 2024, Honda demonstrated a simulated driving concept that can mimic the characteristics of the brand’s high-performance iconic models.
Among them are the first generation Honda NSX, the hot hatch Civic Type R, the roadster S2000, the F1 machine, Honda CRX, and not forgetting the HondaJet personal jet!
In addition to displaying instrument panel themes based on the selected vehicles, this Honda e Digital UX Concept system can simulate the engine notes of the aforementioned models.
Fans of the loud VTEC engine roar will definitely not miss the chance to try this feature when it becomes available.
Honda will also use cabin vibration systems to create a driving experience akin to that of internal combustion engine cars.
According to The Drive, aside from the instrument panel themes and engine sound profiles, Honda is also experimenting with offering a more comprehensive experience, including introducing different tuning on the steering wheel, adjusting the pedal mapping, and the suspension system’s height.
Not to be missed, the simulated gear shifting feature using paddle shifters like those found in the Hyundai Ioniq 5 N model.
In the United States, Honda and Acura are conducting a recall campaign involving a total of 1,693,199 vehicle units, according to Automotive News.
Based on information from the NHTSA agency, there is a problem with the installation process of steering components, resulting in excessive internal friction. This condition can cause some owners to have difficulty in controlling their vehicles.
Honda suspects that the steering rack issue only involves one percent of the vehicles, or around 17,000 units out of the total number recalled.
The steering problem was first detected in September 2021, and since then, Honda has received a total of 10,328 warranty claims.
The NHTSA agency has also received 13 reports of accidents related to the steering issue, including 11 cases filed by drivers who were unable to control their vehicles properly. Fortunately, no injury incidents have been reported.
Affected models include the Acura Integra (model years 2023-2025), Honda Civic (2023-2025, including hybrid models), Honda Civic Type R (2023-2025), Honda CR-V (2023-2025, including the 2025 CR-V FCEV), and Honda HR-V (2023-2025).
Honda USA plans to replace the worm gear spring component with a new one, and add grease to reduce friction on each recalled vehicle at no additional cost.
Boon Siew Honda has announced a limited-time campaign for enthusiasts of the popular Honda RS-X motorcycle.
Starting from the 7th to the 31st of October, customers who purchase a Honda RS-X will receive RM300 worth of Touch ‘n Go e-wallet credit.
The TnG e-wallet credit can be used to purchase fuel, allowing RS-X owners to enjoy journeys of over 7,000 km.
To qualify for the mentioned benefits, customers only need to register their motorcycles during the campaign period and then proceed to the Honda X to receive the RM300 e-wallet credit directly.
The Honda RS-X is still powered by a 149cc single-cylinder engine capable of producing 15.8 hp and 13.6 Nm of torque, paired with a six-speed gearbox.
In addition to being recognized as an Energy Efficient Vehicle (EEV), the Honda RS-X has also achieved a five-star rating in MyMAP for its standard single-channel ABS feature.
Despite Honda’s overall sales figures being difficult to surpass those of the Japanese giant Toyota, at the very least, Honda has managed to prove that it can be the best-selling model there.
The model in question is the Honda N-BOX kei car.
Yes, this boxy car is not only popular among kei car enthusiasts here, but it also holds a significant name and can outshine its competitors.
According to a report from Response JP, the Honda N-BOX recorded sales of 102,226 units during the first half of the fiscal year 2024 (April-September), marking an increase of 1.8 percent compared to the same period last year.
This makes the Honda N-BOX the best-selling car for the third consecutive year!
The second place is held by the kei car Suzuki Spacia (80,179 units), followed by the Toyota Corolla (77,030 units), and the Toyota Yaris (73,052 units).
Impacted by the safety scandal issue, the popular car Daihatsu Tanto dropped three ranks to sixth place, with sales of 53,177 units, marking a decrease of 26.3 percent.
An interesting point coming from the Land of the Rising Sun is the rather slow transition rate to EVs, where EVs only make up 1.3 percent of new vehicle sales, marking a decrease of 0.6 percent.
The hot hatch Civic Type R FL5 appears to not be the last Honda sports model equipped with a manual transmission.
This is because in the latest news emerging from the Land of the Rising Sun, Honda is reported to offer the Prelude with a combination of a hybrid powertrain unit and a manual transmission.
According to sources quoted by Best Car, Honda engineers will match a 2.0-liter hybrid engine borrowed from the Accord model with a six-speed manual gearbox derived from the Civic RS.
It is also said to have the same rev-match function found in the Civic Type R model!
If this news indeed becomes a reality, the Honda Prelude will become Honda’s first hybrid model paired with a manual gearbox after the end of production of the CR-Z hybrid model in 2016.
In the Accord e:HEV model, the 2.0-liter Atkinson cycle hybrid engine is capable of generating up to 204 hp and 335 Nm of torque, channeled to the wheels through an e-CVT transmission.
The Honda Prelude is said to be based on the Honda Civic, with a wheelbase of 2,735 mm remaining constant but the overall length being only about 2,480 mm, shorter than the Civic.
This Honda Prelude will make its official debut in the second half of 2025.
The HONDA WR-V is not a new model, it has been in the Malaysian market for almost two years. It serves as the replacement for the Honda BR-V, although it is not in the same segment.
However, from the Honda Malaysia lineup, after the absence of the 7-seater crossover/MPV BR-V, this slot is now filled by the compact 5-seater WR-V.
This also positions Honda as a competitor to the Perodua Ativa. We have previously test-driven the WR-V RS, but this article focuses on listing the things we didn’t quite like about it. Let’s look at the three main aspects that are not quite right about the WR-V RS.
1. Cabin lacks excitement
At first glance, the exterior of the Honda WR-V looks sporty and premium, especially the RS variant. But upon entering, there is a slight sense of disappointment. For some reason, the cabin feels somewhat ’empty.’
Upon closer inspection, it’s actually decent for its price. Perhaps the writer was carried away by the exterior beauty, hence having high expectations for the interior.
There is a lot of hard plastic on the dashboard and door panels, but there are black gloss and red elements with soft leather wrapping on the left side of the dashboard, adding some flair to the interior. The WR-V’s cabin is on par with the City albeit not entirely similar.
When compared, the HR-V’s cabin has a more ‘wow’ factor, similar to the Civic. But then again, the price difference is significant.
2. Driving experience doesn’t match the RS name
What comes to mind when you see the RS badge on a car? Racing? Sporty? Yes, the writer thought the same. However, the driving experience of the Honda WR-V doesn’t reflect the RS badge it wears.
The writer wasn’t expecting a Civic Type R level of performance, but perhaps tweaking the suspension and steering for more precision and agility could help.
Or maybe the meaning of RS for Honda Malaysia differs for the WR-V, not towards motorsports… Judging by the appearance and packaging, it can be considered in line with the RS name. Furthermore, we understand the target audience for this WR-V RS – more towards small families looking for a practical and comfortable vehicle, with added sporty elements and image.
The 1.5-liter i-VTEC engine delivers 119hp and 145Nm of torque, more than sufficient for daily use. The CVT gearbox is efficient and responsive, still among the best in its segment. The combination of the 1.5 i-VTEC engine with CVT provides good fuel efficiency, around 13.5km per liter based on the writer’s test.
3. El-cheapo infotainment screen
The third and final point is the infotainment screen of the Honda WR-V RS, which seems cost-effective. For some reason, considering the price range between RM89,999 to RM107,900 for the RS, the screen should possess better resolution and display.
The writer is unsure of what exactly needs improvement, as they are not an engineer in this field. But it feels like there’s a lack of value here. For instance, the reverse display is just sufficient, only showing static lines for guidance. There are no issues regarding the size of the screen, it can be considered adequate.
The features are also good, coming with Apple Carplay and Android Auto connectivity, two USB ports, and a range of Honda Sensing safety features. Alright, those are the three main things about the Honda WR-V RS.
Listing more dislikes might upset the Honda enthusiasts here. On another note, there are many other excellent things about the WR-V, such as the spacious cabin for this segment and the fairly comprehensive safety features.
The package on the WR-V demonstrates that Honda Malaysia truly understands the market and its needs. You can read our complete test drive report here.
Honda North America has updated the offerings for the 2025 Civic Si variant, showcasing some cosmetic changes, a sportier chassis, and most importantly, retaining the manual transmission option!
It may be seen as an alternative to the more expensive Civic Type R, but unfortunately, the selling price of the Civic Si has increased by
$850 (RM3,972) to $29,950 (RM140k).
In terms of power, the 2025 Civic Si still retains the heartbeat of a 1.5-liter inline-four engine producing around 200 hp and 260 Nm, driving the front wheels as usual.
Certainly, the handling aspect of this ‘budget Civic Type R’ has been enhanced, now featuring a stiffer chassis including new B-pillars and door sill support.
Suspension damping components have also been recalibrated, with Honda promising improvements in terms of torsional rigidity and flexibility.
For those seeking more driving enjoyment, Honda has also enhanced the rev-match function, especially when shifting from second to first gear.
Cosmetically, what the 2025 Civic Si brings is essentially the same as the existing facelifted 2025 Civic.
However, the Civic Si has been given a set of twin-spoke black alloy wheels for a sportier look.
The cabin also receives a 9-inch infotainment display now supporting Google Assistant, along with standard support for Apple CarPlay and Android Auto integration.
For the 10.2-inch digital cluster screen, exclusive graphics are available for the Civic Si model including a digital tachometer, gear change light indicator, boost gauge, and G-force meter.
Finally, the 2025 Civic Si comes equipped with a pair of snug sports seats for the driver and front passenger, in addition to standard built-in heating function.
On a less joyful note, since its introduction in 1984, the Honda Civic Si has remained an exclusive model for certain market such as United States (and Japan for a brief period), unlike the broader market reach of the Civic Type R.
Boon Siew Honda has announced two new colors for the 2024 Honda ADV160.
The new colors mentioned are grey and white, which will be available at all authorized Honda dealers and Impian X starting from July 18, 2024 with a selling price of RM13,249.
2024 Honda ADV160 still retains the single-cylinder 157 cc eSP+ engine capable of producing 15.8 hp @ 8,500 rpm and torque of 14.7 Nm @ 6,500 rpm.
The Honda Selectable Torque Control (HSTC) system will optimize engine power and grip rate, assisted by the Idling Stop System (ISS) for enhanced efficiency.
Available features include a smart key system with anti-theft function, USB charger, 30-liter storage under the saddle, and adjustable two-stage wind deflector mirrors.
The suspension system consists of telescopic forks at the front, followed by twin-chamber shock absorbers at the rear, while the front and rear disc brake system is assisted by a single-channel ABS system.
The ADV160 offers a saddle height of approximately 780 mm, along with a fuel tank capacity of 8.1 liters.
Boon Siew Honda offers a two-year manufacturer’s warranty or a maximum mileage of 20,000 km, whichever comes first.
Honda Motor is reported to be closing one of its manufacturing plants located in the Ayutthaya region next year due to the intense competition it is facing.
According to a Reuters report, the manufacturer plans to consolidate vehicle production at the Prachinburi plant, while the Ayutthaya plant will be converted into a parts production hub.
Honda is also reported to be making additional investments at the Prachinburi plant to enable them to switch from assembling internal combustion engine vehicles to producing hybrid engine vehicles.
Honda’s first vehicle assembly plant in Thailand was opened in the Ayutthaya region in 1996, while the second plant was opened in Prachinburi in 2016.
Intense competition from Chinese automotive manufacturers has seen Honda settle for sales below the 100,000 units over the past four years.
In fact, since 2019 the total production figures recorded by the two plants in Thailand have decreased from 228,000 units to below 150,000 units in the same period up until last year (2023).
You must have read a story on social media where a girl set a condition that her future husband must have a Honda car to marry her.
There are even women who are willing to leave their boyfriends to be with someone else who owns a Honda. Is the obsession with Honda really that intense?
Approved by prospective mothers-in-law
We believe such things only happen in Malaysia. The Honda brand is so revered that it has become a benchmark and a determining factor for many things. Fresh graduates starting work dream of owning a Honda.
There are also those who are already married but are willing to tighten their belts as long as they can drive a Honda. Then, in the middle of the month, the Maggi noodles lifestyle begins, and sometimes in community groups, questions like, “Where can I find cheap tires for a Civic FE? Are these Linglong tires okay?”
It’s not about the tire brand; actually, it’s fine for regular use. But if you drive a Honda Civic designed for a sporty driving experience, you should provide suitable tires.
When you opt for very budget-friendly tires, it will hinder the actual performance of the Civic. It’s like asking Usain Bolt, the world’s sports champion, to run wearing cheap shoes. Do you think he would want that? A regular runner might outrun him.
Usain Bolt surely prefers branded shoes with specific technologies. Single guys need to drive a Honda to earn a living, and girls only have eyes for a Honda, ignoring other cars. It wouldn’t be surprising if potential mothers-in-law also set Honda as a requirement for their future son-in-law, right?
Why is this so?
This has been a mystery for a long time. Even among us automotive media practitioners in Malaysia, we wonder why Honda is so revered by some Malaysians.
Is Honda beautiful? Latest Honda models like the CR-V and HR-V are indeed beautiful, each design meeting consumer preferences. But other models like the Peugeot 2008 and Mazda CX-30 are also beautiful. It’s undeniable that the City Hatchback can look quite sporty when modified, becoming a craze among the younger generation.
When it comes to speed, it’s just average. The Civic with a 1.5 VTEC Turbo engine is attractive and has higher output compared to competitors like the Mazda3 and Toyota Corolla. However, speed is subjective and depends on several factors. The City and WR-V are not fast.
The City Hatchback e:HEV RS has the most powerful hybrid engine in its class, with 253 Nm of torque. But it’s not a sports car. If we talk about speed, then the Civic Type R is fast, competing with the Volkswagen Golf R and the Mercedes-AMG A35.
Is Honda spacious? We agree on this. Honda models like the City, HR-V, and CR-V can be considered among the most spacious in their segments, but is this the reason for Honda’s popularity among Malaysians? What do you think?
Reality
All this is actually interpreted based on sales figures, as Honda is often the best-selling non-national brand in Malaysia. In 2023 alone, Honda sold more than 80,000 vehicles in the country. However, it’s a different story in international markets.
In Japan, for example, Honda sells around 590,000 vehicles, ranking fourth compared to Toyota and Lexus, which sold over 1.67 million vehicles and took the first spot.
In Europe, Honda is in a lower position, perhaps something we didn’t have time to count. The first place goes to Volkswagen Group with more than 3 million units sold, but yes, this group comprises many brands.
However, the single brand with the highest sales is Ford (518,371), followed by Tesla (366,326) and Nissan (293,476). Yes, Nissan, which doesn’t shine in Malaysia, is quite popular in Europe. Honda sold approximately 60,606 vehicles there in 2023.
Looking at our neighboring countries, in Indonesia, for example, Honda ranks third after Toyota and Daihatsu. In Thailand, Honda also takes the third spot, but behind Toyota and Isuzu.
In conclusion, each market is unique with its own trends and preferences. If you want to remain a staunch fan of a brand, continue as long as you’re not causing any inconvenience.
Buy whatever car you want as long as your wallet allows. It’s interesting to see and compare whether the same situation applies elsewhere.
If you have other topics you usually discuss at coffee shops and would like us to delve into them, please state them in the comment section. Thank you for reading, see you next time!

The braking aspect is handled by a single 256 mm front disc brake with dual-piston calipers, and a single 240 mm disc brake with a single-piston caliper at the rear.
The Honda NSS250 offers a fuel tank capacity of 11.7 liters, with a saddle height of around 780mm and a weight of 185 kg.
There are three color options available, namely Mat Gun Powder Black Metallic, Pearl Smoky Gray, and Candy Syrah Wine Red.
The starting selling price is from RM25,888 excluding road tax, insurance, and registration.
Boon Siew Honda offers a two-year manufacturer’s warranty or a mileage limit of up to 20,000 km, whichever comes first.
