While providing more colour options is good for consumers, it’s bad for a plant’s workflow processes, as the paint shop – probably the most energy consuming part of the plant - will need to temporarily stop work, flush out the tanks and spray equipment, before it can switch to a new colour. To maintain a high level of efficiency at the production plant, the factory’s paint shop should ideally offer the same colour options to all models. Obsidian Blue was dropped for obvious reasons – it wasn’t popular enough.

Malaysia's red (below) has a brighter, pearl-effect finishing versus Thailand's (above) metallic-redĬolour options are always changing, depending on demand. It was previously available in the previous generation Honda Accord and the pre-facelift Honda CR-V.įor the Accord, the colour was dropped in a mid-lifecycle reduction in colour options, from five to four, while for the CR-V, the colour was replaced with Passion Red Pearl. Obsidian Blue Pearl is not a new colour to Honda Malaysia. The latter is a brighter, more expensive shade than Thailand’s Ignite Red Metalic. Malaysian buyers also get the Crystal Black Pearl colour option, just not on the range topping RS variant, which is limited to just three colour options – Platinum White Pearl, Modern Steel Metallic, and Passion Red Pearl. The only difference is that Thai buyers of the City e:HEV get additional colour options, Crystal Black Pearl and Obsidian Blue Pearl. Thailand market cars support the Honda Connect vehicle telematics feature, which we don't have (yet), but let's focus just on the car.

Like our City RS, Thailand’s City e:HEV also comes with LaneWatch blind spot detecting camera, same 8-inch infotainment with Android Auto and Apple CarPlay, Honda’s signature Sensing suite of advanced driving assistance (ADAS) features, as well as rear air-conditioning vents. Honda sales person can heave a collective sigh of relieve. The model is identical to our City RS, wearing the same e:HEV badge but Honda Malaysia has decided to market it with the simpler RS name rather than e:HEV, which as you can imagine, is quite a mouthful to repeat.
