Honda road tax in Malaysia refers to the annual fee paid by vehicle owners to legally operate their cars on Malaysian roads. The cost depends on engine capacity (cc), vehicle type, and location (Peninsular Malaysia, Sabah, Sarawak, or Labuan/Langkawi). Road tax can be paid for 6 months (half-year) or 12 months (full-year), with the latter being more cost-effective.

How Is Honda Road Tax Calculated?
Honda road tax is calculated based on engine displacement (cc), vehicle type (private or commercial), and region. Saloon cars (sedans, hatchbacks) and non-saloon vehicles (SUVs, MPVs) have different tax structures.
- Below 1,000cc: RM20 (Peninsular), RM20 (East Malaysia).
- 1,001cc – 1,200cc: RM55 (Peninsular), RM44 (East Malaysia).
- 1,201cc – 1,400cc: RM70 (Peninsular), RM56 (East Malaysia).
- 1,401cc – 1,600cc: RM90 (Peninsular), RM56–72 (East Malaysia).
- Above 2,000cc: Progressive increase (e.g., RM379 for 2.0L Civic).
Sabah and Sarawak enjoy lower rates due to infrastructure differences. Labuan and Langkawi residents pay 50% less than Peninsular Malaysia rates.
