Honda City Hybrid (Pt.3): Genting Drive | YS Khong Driving

- We put the City hybrid to the test on the Gentings hillclimb. Power delivery depends on the state of electrical charge left in the battery, because it can contribute an additional 29 horsepower to the car. The DCT does contribute to the fun of driving.

hi uncle khong, your driving skills really good, hope can learn from u more ....
You asking Jeffrey Chong or me? No I am not a Honda salesman. I am a semi- retired person having fun and sharing experiences with people.
The engine noise on the hybrid is the reason i settle with 1.5V petrol instead.. love the handling and power but the noise when u rev it.. aduiii
Owning a Honda City Hybrid 2018, the rating will be 8/10. The electric motor really helps a lot. I can just step the acceleration pedal and enjoy the ride and performance (not in sport mode). With sport mode, the ride and performance got even more fun. But the fabric seats are not really comfortable for a long journey with the family. Honda City hybrid will be more suitable for a couple or single. Secondly, the radio player cannot do anything & without a CD player slot. Lastly & sadly, it did not come with LED headlights and spoiler with integrated brake light.
Good feedback: I suppose Honda is trying to package the product to keep the cost affordable.
One day we will have a market where people can tick what they want and order a car, and this will happen as the market matures. It's a question of who dares or wants to make the first effort. I am surprised it has not happened yet here because it is already done like that in many places.
@@YSKhongDriving In MY, sangat susah la. If we request "build your own" , sales advisor will tell us that will be very expensive, higher tax and not advisable... 🙄
Joseph, can ask why u prefer hyundai Ionic rather than city hybrid if u can choose again btw them?
By the way City Hybrid drives extremely quiet on EV and normal mode. BUT when in sport mode, it roared badly, mainly due to sport mode prolonged its high rpm prior to shifting to the next gear.
Honda spent 2 years in Malaysian road and developed this iDCD sport hybrid system, add in extra suspension. Thus should technically handled better than normal city.
The cons though, no spare tyre, no 6 airbags, no LED front light and no leather seats.
My son is always thrilled to watch your video. Awesome stuff!
Thanks, to your son, lol. How about you? Just uploaded a night drive video on the Golf R. Have a look.
@@YSKhongDriving watching now hehehe...... The car is smooth....
Driver and machine combination is a key ingredient.
@@YSKhongDriving yup, good driver knows how to handle any car. The machine is the tool for the driver to optimize it.
Cant wait for uncle khong to try out the new honda city RS 😄
Have to wait till after cmco.
Yes i am waiting for uncle Khong city rs hill climb
1st March 2021, Honda City RS still not here. 😭
why the engine is so noisy?
YS, after you did the genting run, i was super curious on the fuel consumption of the car. I watched all 3 parts but couldn’t find the section that you mention the fuel consumption
Genting is not about fuel consumption but handling. If I remember correvtly it was registering about 10 yo 11 l/100 on the climb
Dear uncle, your videos are wonderful. Is the regular petrol CVT quieter than the RS if driven under 120km/hr? I'm trying to decide between the two and prefer a quieter cabin.
If you drive normally, it is quiet. Look at the parts of the video where I drive it normally
We also have a videp on the sedan 1.5.
did you use S mode when climbing? perhaps with using the paddle shift on manual S mode would help a lot. Also, the level of EV charge plays important role. prior to climb the hill, ensure the EV level is at least 4 and above. Because when you are left with 1 bar, then the car starts to struggle a bit. When you have ZERO level, then you are pretty much in deep s***t (System error & car will move in decreased performance mode) and need to park at the road side to let the EV charge manually up to 3 bars or more then only can start moving again. Overall, to drive honda city hybrid requires you to be smart in managing the EV mode; knowing when to use EV and when to not use it. Just my 2 cents.
I think it was the level of charge in the battery.
Don't think he was using ”S” and disable Econ mode.. That is why the engine is so noisy. I own a City Hybrid and it shoots up Genting like a bullet.
makes me want to go for a drive up to Gohtong.
@@kreatos82 Yea, agreed. Our engine doesn't sound too noisy as in the video. (Do not have the time to drive to Genting)(more on long journey with the average speed 110-170km/h without sport mode and the engine sound still acceptable)
The whine is all contributed to the direct injection system on that particular engine,known as the Honda L15B1 Earth Dreams. The American and Internation versions of the Honda Jazz/Fit are equipped with that particular engine and it produces 22hp more than the SOHC iVTEC L15Z1/Z6 that we get here in Malaysia/Thailand/Indonesia and many other ASEAN countries. The engine is otherwise noisy but it is way more punchy than the SOHC model. Wonder why ASEAN countries are not made available with that engine.
Cost.
That Engine wine is horrendous. Old DOHC (V-Tec or not) Honda's had a lot deeper and sportier bark than that...
Will the engine broken easily, omg the sound
There is so much to learn, and one of them is how hard can I push before it breaks.
Compared to vios which one would you prefer?
Each one has its good points. I think the City has more power, while the Vios is more planted.
omg..the engine sounds worse than Iriz and Persona CVT at full throttle.
The normal 1.5 petrol engine of the city seems more refined.
at 1:19 got a little bit of small vtec kicked in yo! sound.hahaha
Haha! I got the pilot joke XD
Hahaha.
Very decent handling, better than expected. Cant wait for you to test drive the 2019 Saga to see how they compare ride n handling wise for the budget segment.
Launch is tomorrow.
Would like to see u driving ioniq in genting
Me too.
Hi YS khong,I like your videos,it's good.Can you do review/test drive with Peugeot models?
Let's see if we can get any of the cars.
@@YSKhongDriving great..Thanks!!
hybrid should quite but this 1 jialat
Any difference in terms of handling between the hybrid and non hybrid?
Basically the same for both.
@Amir Azri Awang i presume the hybrid is stiffer due to the added weight by the batteries?
Looks like the car is struggling to go up hill and noisy. Contrary to what hybrid are supposed to be driving quietly. Ive only drove the car once up to genting but dont remember it to be so noisy though.
I believe it depends on the state of charge in the battery. As I began the run the battery level may have been depleted. On the way back it was much better, as can be seen in the video.
I looked back to the HR-V run on the same road : the HR-V has a more powerful engine, and a similar transmission. Not sure if the ratios are the same, but the HR-V seemed a lot quieter.
@@YSKhongDriving HRV probably has better NVH than the City
@@YSKhongDriving Honda HR-V Hybrid engine come with direct injection (more powerful & quieter) instead of electronic fuel injection in the Honda City Hybrid engine. Both cars fuel injection way is different.
@Edwin Lai
Can I change my honda grace hybrid fuel injection to direct injection for more power?
Score 5.5/10
Hi V spec better or hybrid ? In terms of speed
I would think hybrid is faster cos more power.
Felt like the engine not long lasting.
It's still running.
@@YSKhongDriving ya, I know but the engine sounds like cannot tahan already.
Too much traffic, hard to touch the apexes and flow.
Yeah, but it's ok.
Still waiting cerato k3
The video is in the queue.
@@YSKhongDriving yeah...tq...with alwiz follow u....tq...
When the video will coming
Bro, video up ruclips.net/video/A6Ou4K1QHz0/видео.html
Enjoy!
My normal Honda City V spec is better than this hybrid, quieter my engine while going up Genting
