Speaking at the launch, Mr. Narushi Yazaki, Managing Director and Chief Executive Officer of Honda Malaysia, said: “Today, we proudly launch the New HR-V, a bold evolution of Malaysia’s favourite SUV that blends sportiness, innovation, and smart practicality to meet the needs of today’s SUV drivers. With over 170,000 units sold since its introduction in 2015, and a leading
41% *1 market share in the Non-National B-SUV segment, the HR-V has redefined what a compact SUV should be.”
Mr. Yazaki added, “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. From pioneering advanced hybrid technology to continuously refining our products based on customer feedback, the HR-V reflects Honda’s drive to deliver mobility that is advanced, trusted, and enjoyable. 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. This is what we mean by The Power of Dreams and How We Move You.”
The New HR-V features a refreshed Front Grille that integrates with full LED Headlights with Active Cornering Light*2 along with a distinctive full Rear LED Taillight Strip, that give it a more modern and confident road presence. All variants now come with 18-inch two-tone Alloy Wheels, adding a bolder stance to the SUV's silhouette. The e:HEV RS variant also comes with a sporty RS Package, further elevating its performance-inspired look.
Inside the New HR-V, customers will find a more refined and practical cabin that prioritises comfort and usability. The e:HEV RS variant now comes equipped with RS-embossed Sporty seats, adding a performance-inspired touch to the interior. A redesigned centre console with a wireless charger*2 enhances everyday functionality, while the new floating 8-inch Display Audio Unit improves visibility and ease of use. For added convenience, wireless Apple CarPlay™ and Android Auto™ connectivity come as standard across all variants, complemented by USB-C ports located at both the front and rear of the cabin. The inclusion of Honda’s signature Air Diffusion System ensures a more balanced and comfortable in-cabin airflow. Despite being a compact SUV, the New HR-V boasts a spacious interior that rivals vehicle in higher segments, delivering exceptional comfort and versatility for both driver and passengers.
Under the hood, the New HR-V offers a versatile driving experience through three distinctive powertrains, each thoughtfully engineered to meet diverse driving preferences. The 1.5L DOHC
i-VTEC petrol engine, producing 121PS and 145Nm of torque, delivers a balanced blend of practicality and efficiency — ideal for daily commuting and urban driving. For those seeking more spirited performance, the 1.5L VTEC Turbocharged engine provides an impressive 181PS and 240Nm, offering smooth acceleration and a dynamic, fun-to-drive feel that reflects Honda’s performance DNA. Meanwhile, the advanced 1.5L e:HEV powertrain delivers 131PS and 253Nm of torque, offering great hybrid performance and the same time a seamless, transition between EV drive, Hybrid drive and Engine drive that is unique to Honda e:HEV.
The New HR-V is equipped with three selectable drive modes; ECON, Normal, and Sport — allowing drivers to customise their driving experience based on conditions or preference. Whether navigating city traffic or enjoying a weekend highway cruise, the New HR-V adapts effortlessly to any moment. True to Honda’s legacy, the New HR-V continues to prioritise fuel efficiency and performance, ensuring customer satisfaction without compromising on driving excitement. It is a bold embodiment of Honda’s fun-to-drive philosophy, offering agility, power, and confidence in every journey.
Safety and connectivity remain of utmost importance for Honda. The New HR-V now comes with Honda SENSING as standard across all variants, now including Adaptive Driving Beam*2.
