Honda Malaysia has updated its exterior body colour offerings on two of its sedan models, the City and Accord. Ignite Red Metallic and Meteoroid Gray Metallic joins the colour palette for the Honda City, while the Accord only gets the latter.

Honda Malaysia Managing Director and Chief Executive Officer, Madoka Chujo said, The Ignite Red Metallic and Meteoroid Gray Metallic colours were introduced in the All-New City Hatchback for the first time. Both colours have been well accepted by the market and we expanded the new colour options to the All-New Civic.
“To further excite the market, we are now offering these new colour options in the City and Accord as well. The new colours further emphasise the styling of the City and elevate the sleek profile of the Accord. We will continue to enhance our products to deliver the Joy of Buying to the customers.”
