Updated Honda HR-V unveiled, prices start at RM115,900
KUALA LUMPUR: Honda Malaysia has launched the updated HR-V, a refreshed version of its top-selling non-national B-segment sport utility vehicle (SUV). The new model features revised exterior styling, improved interior practicality, enhanced connectivity and upgraded safety features offered across all variants. The new HR-V comes in four variants, each with its own on-the-road price excluding insurance. The e:HEV RS is priced at RM143,900, followed by the V variant at RM137,900, the E variant at RM130,900 and the S variant at RM115,900. With demand for SUVs continuing to grow, Honda Malaysia is confident that the new HR-V will set new benchmarks in the years to come. Complementing its striking new design, the new HR-V is now available in two new colour options — the vibrant Phoenix Orange Pearl and the sleek Crystal Black Pearl. Other available colours include Platinum White Pearl, Meteoroid Gray Metallic and Stellar Diamond Pearl. Honda Malaysia chief executive officer and managing director Narushi Yazakl said the new HR-V, a bold evolution of Malaysia's favourite SUV. It blends sportiness, innovation and smart practicality to meet the needs of today's SUV drivers. He added that with over 170,000 units sold since its introduction in 2015 and a leading 41 per cent market share in the non-national B-SUV segment, the HR-V has redefined what a compact SUV should be. "This launch also marks a significant milestone as we celebrate 21 years of Honda hybrid leadership in Malaysia, a journey of innovation and commitment to sustainable mobility. "We are confident the new HR-V has always been and will be an incomparable companion, inspiring new paths of freedom and creating moments you will cherish forever." In terms of design, the new HR-V features a refreshed front grille integrated with full LED headlights with Active Cornering Light and a distinctive full rear LED taillight strip, giving it a modern and confident road presence. All variants now come with 18-inch two-tone alloy wheels for a bolder stance. The e:HEV RS variant adds a sporty RS Package for a more performance-inspired look. Inside, the SUV offers a more refined and practical cabin focused on comfort and usability. The e:HEV RS variant comes with RS-embossed sporty seats. A redesigned centre console now includes a wireless charger, while a new floating 8-inch Display Audio Unit improves visibility and ease of use. Wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto are standard across all variants, along with USB-C ports at the front and rear. Honda's Air Diffusion System helps maintain comfortable in-cabin airflow. Despite its compact SUV size, the new HR-V provides a spacious interior that rivals vehicles in higher segments, offering strong comfort and versatility for both driver and passengers. The HR-V also offers three powertrain options to suit different driving preferences. The 1.5L DOHC i-VTEC petrol engine produces 121PS and 145Nm of torque, offering a balance of practicality and efficiency for daily driving. The 1.5L VTEC Turbocharged engine delivers 181PS and 240Nm for a more dynamic and responsive drive. The advanced 1.5L e:HEV powertrain produces 131PS and 253Nm, combining strong hybrid performance with seamless transitions between EV, Hybrid and Engine drive modes. Safety and connectivity remain key priorities, with Honda Sensing now standard across all variants, including Adaptive Driving Beam. Honda CONNECT has also been expanded to include the S and E variants, making connected car features available to more drivers.
