New Honda City VTEC Marketed Now In Brunei
By Lyna Mohamad

Bandar Seri Begawan - Happy Motoring Co. Sdn Bhd, the sole distributor of Honda automobiles in the country, yesterday introduced the new Honda City powered by VTEC (Variable Valve Timing and Lift Electronic Control System) engine at its premises in Gadong.

Compared with the previous Honda City with the IDSI engine, this new member of the Honda City family has been given a "facelift" with its external and internal features redesigned such as the tail lamps, 15" alloy wheels, driver's seat height adjuster, among others.

The new Honda City model is powered by a 1.5-litre 16-valve 4-cylinder VTEC engine that yields up to 110PS at 5,800rpm with a high torque output of 14.6kg/m at 4,800rpm.

The VTEC engine works in synch with various driving conditions, achieving clean combustion, maximum horsepower and torque output while at the same time saving fuel consumption.

Among the most evident features is the "Steermatic" system that allows the driver to shift gear in manual style using control buttons on the steering wheel.

Its body is equipped with G-Con safety technology that absorbs collision force before distributing it along the safety structure around the car and the safety features conform to European Standards, one of the world's most stringent benchmarks.

Safety features include ABS and EBD (electronic brake force distribution) for abrupt braking power on wet and slippery road surfaces, dual SRS airbags, headrests to minimise neck injury and a special nose structure to increase pedestrian safety are amongst the other safety features in the upgraded Honda City. The dual SRS airbags in the front works in synch with pre-tensioner seatbelts and a load limiter system to reduce pressure on the chest.

Designed with a proper short nose resulting in a narrow turning radius for maximum maneuverability, the cabin meanwhile is more spacious with all utilities located at the right places.

Available in four colours, the new Honda City VTEC is priced at B$25,990 for the manual version and $26,990 for auto, on the road. -- Courtesy of Borneo Bulletin
