The 2015 Honda HR-V is breaking records in Malaysia already. Bookings for the new B-segment crossover have surpassed 7,000 units within the first month of its availability alone – claimed to be an all-time high for an SUV in Malaysia.
Of the bookings so far, 65% of it are for the range-topping RM118,800 Grade V, while the RM108,800 E and RM99,800 S models account for 20% and 15% respectively. That’s expected for a new model, and besides, most of the fancy toys are reserved for the V anyway.
As the booking numbers have surpassed Honda Malaysia’s own expectations, the waiting period for the HR-V has grown to four months. The company has announced that it will revise its production schedule to reduce the wait, but without rushing the process or affecting quality.
February 2015 turned out to be Honda Malaysia’s best month yet, with a total of 11,047 bookings recorded and more than 6,000 units sold. It sold 6,522 units in January, maintaining its lead in the non-national passenger vehicle segment. Honda Malaysia is confident of achieving its 85,000 sales target this year.
