There is no increase in price over the previous City for the V and E variants, with a Rm1,000 decrease for the S. Not bad.

Especially when you consider that the new City comes with plenty of goodies across all variants. This includes Hill Start Assist, Smart Entry, dual tone alloy wheels, push start button, auto retractable side mirrors and LED daytime running lights. Hang on, there’s one more – even VSA (Vehicle Stability Assist is standard.
