2021 Honda City RS, 253 Nm Torque - Ultimate Test Up Genting Highlands / YS Khong Driving
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 27 ноя 2021
- 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
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.
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 🥲🥲
Ridiculously fast city …awesome skill. The car is like part of uncle Khong’s limbs. Great synergy bet wen man and machine
Finally the video I have been waiting for. Thanks sir!
Excellent test drive in this video. Ys Khong. Your the best!
Loved your explanation about how the engine and electric motor works 👌👌
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 🙂
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!
Handles beautifully
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. 😀👍
Wow..tq uncle.. waiting for your RS ride up to genting 😂
Uncle punya skill handling time corner mantap. Legend
nice drive! waiting for myvi 2022 🤤🤤
Can you try Persona 2022 going up Genting Highlands for the next video? Thank you.
Already waiting for 10000 years ago Finally
Hahaha, sorry, just got the car.
Love the engine roar esp when YS pressed it to the pedal. This car is smooth over the corners.
Thank you very much n hv a good evening frm Ipoh.
Wooooww nice ..nicee driving sir..
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.
Good day uncle, just want to ask. That hill climb route of genting. Did u already remember it by your heart?
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.
yeah finally... king of torque B-segment..
Its slavia now
At last 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼 the locomotive car goes up the hill... Range extender with batteries and a genset under the hood...
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.
Lovely drive from Uncle YS 👍👍👍
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?
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.
Thank you.coz..showing me how to fly up to genting
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
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🤣
Me: wow so fast get up genting
YSK: it still is a little bit on the slow side
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.
The engine Drone noise is killing me…. Sounded like my time driving kelisa fast fast lol
Cvt?
sounds like a lawnmower
The white Toyota Starlet - Bill Cook. The Nissan sunny - William Lyou. Feel like you overtaking them during special stage.
YS KHONG please make a video of myvi facelift in genting..I appeal to ys khong..tq
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 👍
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
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.
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 roar like "you wanna go or not" hahahaha
Only when tekan hard.
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.
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.
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.
Berape laju meter die pergi baru kami lebih stim..nak tengok nombor meter brapa laju
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.
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
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.
YS khong . Please fix the second mini camera at meter ??
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?
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.
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.
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.
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
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 😅
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.
the intro music nice
The "paddle shifters" are actually regenerative braking controls.
Yes. I found that out later. Sorry.
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
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?
Nice👍
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 how mucgh fuel economy did you achieve in this test run. how many kilometers was the route of ?
Please watch the video.
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
Thank you for this. How does this compare to vios gr please?
The City RS is a hybrid.
Uncle can test the 2021 A250 sedan?
uncle after this can u do myvi av facelift
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.
I heard uncle said the paddle shifter not that responsive make me think of, how paddle shifter works in city hybrid since there is no gearbox? electronic controller just to simulate the gearbox?
It is a switch to increase or reduce the regenerative level; increasing the regen helps to retard the car a little. Totally defeats the function of the paddle shifter.
uncle smoke all driver, yuhuuuuu
253nm真的是轻轻松松
How does it compare to the vw vento 1.2tsi in terms of handling and power ?
Vento torque is 175 Nm.
Honda City Hybrid have much higher in both Horsepower and Torque than Vento 1.2tsi ( 109hp vs 103hp) ( 253Nm vs 175Nm) so, in term of power , vento cant match City hybrid
Sir... any difference between gm6 and gn2?!
Mecganically similar, but the newer model has new features.
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.
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.
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 🤔
What tyres are equipped on the city eh? Goodyears?
I have no idea.
toyo proxes
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.
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.
macam driving myvi je uncle😅 tak rasa nampak torque hp
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.
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?
Does city RS got sport mode?
No, it doesn't.
boleh tahan bunyi engine dia... huhu..
Which one king on the highway, myvi or this car?
Hahaha. This is the new king!
I like this comment Mr. YS, the new King is born.. haha
Finally
Wow
Physics professor 😁
Does it feels like 253nm?
When the battery is discharging, yes.
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.
Hi uncle...this hybrid city can go up to 190kmh
Donno. We never tested top speed
The engine noise!
Try civic fc 1.8 hill climb
How is the Built quality of City??
I mean sheet metal quality,door,bonnet and boot heaviness ajd interior plastic quality??
Please tell
It looked okay to me.
@@YSKhongDriving Because in india, interior plastic and sheet metal quality in some parts is average
@@Saahilll Here, many also complaining about honda city such as steering rack, rubber lining, aircond not cool, minor rattling from dashbord and oil compressor leaking.
@@juck2263 Rattling noise was also there in initial batch of indian variant but im also facing Rattling noise issues coming from dashboard rear parcel tray doors etc..it ruins ownership experience..
Also plastic quality used on dashboard is bad as we can litreally press it by fingers..its the same condition in your country's honda city??
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.
We're waiting for Tesla Genting run haha...
1 camera should show km/h baru kami lagi stim uncleku
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
This car will win touge race easily
Any honda civic 2022?
Not yet.
