Among the six ‘new’ models Honda Malaysia is launching this year will almost certainly be the facelifted 2026 Honda WR-V and based on the model’s refresh in Indonesia, we can deduce what it will bring to the table here.
The 2026 Honda WR-V debuted at the Indonesia International Motor Show (IIMS) 2026 and brought with it a new 10.25-inch infotainment touchscreen across all variants. Additionally, it now supports wireless smartphone connectivity with a USB-C port for the front row now standard equipment.
Honda has also added paddle shifters and a wireless charger but this duo is dependent on the variant.
Gone is the soft padded section in the centre of the dashboard, instead replaced by a simpler trim plastic trim piece.
On the outside though, things begin to vary a little more. The WR-V E is now fitted with a redesigned front grille and fog lamp garnish, new bumpers all around, updated side under spoilers, blacked-out door mirrors and door handles and body-coloured wheel arch cladding over new 16-inch black wheels.

The flagship WR-V RS rides on larger 17-inch black wheels with the cabin receiving leather seats, leather on the door cards, ambient lighting and the aforementioned paddle shifters. There are also two new exterior colours, the Blazing Red Pearl pictured here and Sand Khaki Pearl.
Sitting above the WRV-RS is the same variant but with the addition of the Honda Sensing suite of active safety tech, alongside the wireless charger and a rear centre armrest.

Do not expect any performance revisions as it should keep the same naturally aspirated 1.5-litre i-Vtec engine and its accompanying 119 PS with a 145 Nm of torque channelled through a CVT.
Given that the WR-V is available here in four variants (S, E, V, RS) perhaps more changes might be in order over the Indonesian model but for now, these are the changes to be expected.
