Honda Malaysia has officially launched the new HR-V, a refreshed version of the country’s top non-national B-segment SUV. Known for its bold look and smooth driving experience, the new HR-V now comes with updated styling, better interior comfort, improved technology, and advanced safety features for all variants.
At the launch event, Honda Malaysia’s Managing Director and CEO, Mr. Narushi Yazaki, said the new HR-V reflects Honda’s commitment to innovation and customer satisfaction. Since its launch in 2015, over 170,000 units have been sold, and the model now holds 41 percent of the non-national B-SUV market in Malaysia. He also shared that the launch celebrates 21 years of Honda’s hybrid journey in the country.
The new HR-V features a redesigned front grille, full LED headlights with Active Cornering Light, and a sleek LED strip at the rear. All models now come with 18-inch two-tone alloy wheels, while the e:HEV RS variant gets a sportier design with a special RS body kit.
Inside, the cabin has been upgraded with more comfort and user-friendly features. The RS variant includes sporty seats and a wireless charger. All models now support wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, and come with USB-C ports in both the front and back. A floating 8-inch touchscreen and Honda’s unique Air Diffusion System improve comfort and convenience for everyone in the car.
There are three engine options available. The 1.5L i-VTEC is perfect for daily driving, the 1.5L VTEC Turbo offers more power and excitement, and the 1.5L e:HEV hybrid delivers smooth performance with great fuel efficiency. Drivers can also choose between ECON, Normal, and Sport modes depending on their driving needs.
Safety remains a priority. Honda SENSING is now standard across all variants, and Honda CONNECT is now available even on the more affordable S and E models. These systems help keep drivers informed, connected, and safe on the road.
The new HR-V is priced from RM115,900 to RM143,900 depending on the variant. It is available in five colour options, including the new Phoenix Orange Pearl and Crystal Black Pearl. Customers can visit any Honda dealership nationwide to view or test drive the new model. More information is also available at www.honda.com.my or by calling Honda’s toll-free number. -TehTarikTimes
