Selepas beberapa minggu menayangkan teasernya, Honda Malaysia secara rasmi telah melancarkan Honda HR-V baharu yang telah difacelift.

Dengan lebih 170,000 unit telah dijual sejak ia pertama kali diperkenalkan, HR-V baharu ini dijangka akan meneruskan kisah kejayaannya.

Model generasi ketiga yang dikemas kini ini hadir dengan pelbagai pembaharuan yang mengukuhkan lagi kedudukannya sebagai SUV Segmen B bukan nasional nombor satu di negara ini.

Dari luar, pembaharuan termasuk gril hadapan baharu yang lebih lebar berbanding sebelum ini. Bahagian hadapan baharu ini seterusnya dibezakan oleh bampar hadapan yang direka semula.

Pembaharuan pada bahagian belakang terhad kepada gugusan lampu belakang LED penuh yang baharu dan lebih ramping, manakala pembaharuan luaran lain termasuk rim yang direka semula.

Bagi bahagian dalaman kereta, konsol tengah telah dikemas kini dan kini termasuk ruang penyimpanan yang terletak tepat di bawah kawalan penyaman udara.

Sistem infotainmen lapan inci kini dilengkapi dengan sambungan Apple CarPlay dan Android Auto tanpa wayar.

Pilihan rangkaian kuasa adalah sama seperti sebelum ini, dengan enjin 1.5 liter, naturally-aspiated, empat silinder DOHC, i-VTEC yang menghasilkan 121PS dan 145Nm tork, dihantar ke roda melalui kotak gear CVT. Ini terdapat pada HR-V peringkat permulaan dan merupakan enjin yang sama yang menggerakkan Honda City.

Seterusnya, terdapat enjin 1.5 liter VTEC Turbo yang menghasilkan 181PS dan 240Nm dengan kuasa dihantar ke roda melalui kotak gear CVT.

Model hibrid e:HEV juga kekal tidak berubah dari segi rangkaian kuasa. Ia menawarkan enjin yang berfungsi sebagai penjana untuk motor elektrik. Motor menghasilkan 131PS dan 253Nm manakala enjin 1.5 liter, naturally-aspirated, DOHC, i-VTEC empat silinder menghasilkan 105PS dan 127Nm.

Sistem hibrid dalam kereta Honda adalah unik kerana tidak seperti rangkaian kuasa hibrid lain, enjin Kitaran Atkinson mampu menggerakkan kereta secara eksklusif pada kelajuan tinggi tanpa sokongan motor elektrik.

Bagi sistem keselamatan, Honda Sensing kini tersedia untuk semua varian. Walau bagaimanapun, terdapat dua sistem baharu yang kini telah disertakan untuk model perdana, iaitu Adaptive Driving Beam dan Active Cornering Light.

Honda Malaysia has officially opened bookings for the highly anticipated New Honda HR-V, ahead of its scheduled launch in the third quarter of 2025. Bookings can be made at all authorised dealerships nationwide as well as through the brand’s online platforms.

The updated HR-V arrives as a refreshed contender in the B-segment SUV category, reinforcing its position as one of Honda’s most successful models in Malaysia. With over 169,000 units sold since its local debut in 2015, the HR-V has long established itself as the country’s best-selling non-national B-SUV. For the first five months of 2025, it has continued to dominate sales for Honda Malaysia.

Building on its legacy of style, practicality and performance, the latest iteration of the HR-V boasts an enhanced exterior and updated mechanical offerings. The new design presents a bolder and smarter aesthetic, featuring a streamlined minimalist front grille, striking 18-inch two-tone alloy wheels, and a full LED taillight strip that emphasises the vehicle’s modern presence.

The New HR-V e:HEV RS variant leads the charge with its intelligent hybrid powertrain, combining efficiency with an engaging driving experience. The 1.5-litre e:HEV system produces 131PS and 253Nm of torque, delivering smooth acceleration and responsive hybrid performance. Drivers can choose between three distinct driving modes – Econ, Normal, and Sport – to suit various road conditions and personal preferences.

In addition to the hybrid variant, the New HR-V is also offered with a 1.5-litre DOHC VTEC Turbo engine generating 181PS and 240Nm of torque for a more dynamic experience. A naturally aspirated 1.5-litre DOHC i-VTEC engine is also available, producing 121PS and 145Nm, catering to those who favour refined efficiency.

Safety remains a cornerstone of the HR-V’s appeal. The updated model is equipped with the comprehensive Honda SENSING suite, which now includes Adaptive Driving Beam and Active Cornering Light – features that enhance visibility and further refine the SUV’s safety credentials. These additions ensure the HR-V maintains its reputation as a technologically advanced and family-friendly vehicle for Malaysian roads.

To complement its enhanced features, the New HR-V will be available in two new bold exterior colours: Phoenix Orange Pearl and Crystal Black Pearl. These fresh finishes add a sporty, premium touch to the SUV, giving buyers more expressive options to match their style.

With a strong track record and widespread appeal among urban and suburban buyers, the New HR-V looks set to continue its success story in Malaysia. Interested customers may place their bookings via prebook.honda.com.my or through the HondaTouch mobile application.

According to her, Honda conducted a comprehensive examination of her car and determined that the misaligned headlights, flashing dashboard indicator lights, and activated emergency lights were attributed to a malfunction in the light sensor.

Despite harbouring hopes for a replacement vehicle, she accepted the decision with understanding after engaging in extensive discussions with Honda representatives.

Moreover, she requested a week-long test drive period from Honda following the repairs. She expressed satisfaction with Honda’s assurance that the identified issue would not recur, emphasising that the company maintained regular communication with her to provide updates on the progress of her car’s repairs.

She also extended her heartfelt gratitude to the Ministry of Domestic Trade and Consumer Affairs (KPDN) and netizens who offered assistance and support throughout the ordeal. She underscored the significance of the Honda HR-V, which symbolises the dedication and hard work invested by both her and her husband in their business ventures.

Menurutnya, Honda telah menjalankan pemeriksaan menyeluruh terhadap keretanya dan menentukan bahawa lampu hadapan yang tidak seiring, lampu petunjuk pada papan pemuka yang berkelip-kelip, dan lampu kecemasan yang diaktifkan adalah disebabkan oleh kerosakan pada sensor cahaya.

Walaupun berharap untuk mendapatkan kenderaan ganti, dia menerima keputusan tersebut dengan pengertian selepas berbincang secara terperinci dengan wakil-wakil Honda.

Selain itu, dia meminta tempoh ujian pemanduan selama seminggu dari Honda selepas pembaikan. Dia menyatakan kepuasan dengan jaminan Honda bahawa masalah yang dikenal pasti tidak akan berulang, menekankan bahawa syarikat tersebut menjaga komunikasi secara berkala dengannya untuk memberikan kemaskini tentang kemajuan pembaikan keretanya.

Dia juga mengucapkan terima kasih yang tulus kepada Kementerian Perdagangan Dalam Negeri dan Kos Sara Hidup (KPDN) dan warganet yang menawarkan bantuan dan sokongan sepanjang kesusahan tersebut. Dia menekankan kepentingan Honda HR-V, yang melambangkan dedikasi dan usaha yang dilaburkan olehnya dan suaminya dalam usaha perniagaan mereka.
