Hi every Sifu, I was lowyat members long time ago and now account locked and unable to reactivate due to too long dormant. this is my new account and first post.

1. Planning to buy City RS hybrid but got concern when reading the City RS owner manual, under [High Voltage Battery] session "Extreme high temperatures can affect the battery life. You can minimize the effects by parking the vehicle in the shade during the summer." It makes me concern as I need to park open car park without any shade coz company don't provide covered car park. Do anyone has some view on this?

2. Either buying hybrid or non-hybrid, it comes with narrow-width rim which is 16x6j only. Will:
i) change to wider tyre void suspension and brake related warranty? if its not what the recommenced size? 195/50, 205/50 or?
ii) will change the rim void the same warranty? and what's the recommended rim size?

Thanks!

Seeing some youtube review, even at high speed (more than 100kmph), when you tekan kuat minyak, the motor will still contribute and work in hybrid mode. I guess the full engine mode work when you are at high speed stable cruising..when you need more power, the motor will still kick in.

yeah should be the case....need any RS owner to confirm that

Thanks for the sharing.

i'd booked mine, Non-hybird but Vsensing only.

One thing concerning stated in the owner manual for hybrid version is - recommend to park under shade to take care of battery life which hard for me.
Other things its like no spare tyre...for family wise, i think non-hybrid its better..with spare tyre - safety in mind, and bigger boot space..If just personal drive i will go for hybrid definitely
It seem honda hybird doesn't have robust cooling system for battery - for sure it can withstand hot temperature by tested in hot country like Malaysia and India, but if expose under hot sun battery life still affected they cant guarantee the battery life.

And I know some of the hybrid car come with battery cooling fan, it it will even kick in if temperature is high with car is idle(engine/motor off) in parking position (drawing power from the battery for fan for cooling). Manage to find one video regarding battery fan servicing in Toyota car on YouTube - cant share the link with my account still under probation...what a rule from lowyat.net (:

And upon checking with Honda sale, there's no such thing in Honda hybrid car (i guess its liquid cooling only)...Not sure how about Toyoda hybird in Malaysia like Cross or Camry..so will wait..Looking for another hybrid car maybe in next few years

No brainer for this segment..I also book one waiting for mine

means no need to think

Good, still waiting for mine, white color also!
