Honda’s UK division has commissioned some of our most favourite car commercials of all time, and it has now thrown us another one, this time for the new Honda HR-V that has just gone on sale in Blighty.
The 60-second spot follows a man who finds that his garage is too cluttered for his B-segment crossover, so he begins to rearrange the space piece-by-piece, finding new and ingenious ways to stow all his belongings and create just enough space for the HR-V to fit.
It’s neat little spot, going hand-in-hand with the car’s brilliant packaging solutions that, in our experience, make it feel bigger inside than the compact dimensions would lead you to believe. As a bonus, it also ties into the general theme used to promote the HR-V – that everything’s been done just right.
Over here, much like everywhere else in the world, the HR-V has been a huge hit – last we checked (July), Honda Malaysia amassed an astonishing 18,027 bookings and sold 7,374 units, with a waiting list stretching four to five months.

Ho ho ho ho Honda Power !!!
always always my favorite ads, the honda UK ads. this one is no exception. it’s just brilliant and bringing a smile to your face! love it!!
lol i walked in to TWO separate honda branches, Honda Glenmarie & Honda Jalan Klang Lama. Was dissapointed with both sales centre. NONE of the chinaman salesman approached me. I was ready to book the HR-V but sadly, none of them approached me.I even asked them where is the HR-V test unit in Glenmarie and he told me “Go outside and see it, its there”. In return, i wrote to Honda Malaysia and Honda Japan describing my experience. To all Honda Salesman in Malaysia, you’re paid to sell not to sit down in your showroom, shake legs and to wish money will just fall from the sky for you guys.
Look at BMW and Mercs salesman, always prepared to approach anyone despite their looks.
Agreed. I’m sure all of us at some point of our shopping lives have encountered similar salespersons. Wonder where they got the idea that customers are cattle. Many eateries come to mind. They simply don’t have a clue about the importance of cleanliness, courtesy or quality of their products to the survival of their business. I am prepared to pay a bit more for those things but most of the time there are no takers.
LOL Toyota salesman detected!
No customers in showroom today ah?
Same shit happened to me 4 years ago when my 7month pregnant wife and I walked into a UMW showroom in Sg Pinang and not one salesperson bothered to even look up. How the tide has changed now but sadly I guess those UMW salespeople are now employed by Honda.
Ive had my fair share with such snobs in Cycle Carriage Merc and Ingress Auto BMW.
Early this year I walked into Merc around Curve Damansara and was treated like a dust spec hovering within the showroom. None even approached to ask or atleast give out some brochures. Had to wander and find these people and all I received was pointy fingers and deaf consultants who ignored my questions about the A-class and the new C-class.
BMW puchong I was greeted by this middle aged man, no test drives, just one brochure. Atleast he did follow me around incase I have questions. BUT, the day I wanted to book my 316, he was not around so i did with another sales person. Later that day he texted me with a 1 page essay on how I shouldnt have treated him like that and I should go and pray to god to give me another day to live. Wtf..
Honda and Toyota i cant complain at the moment because the showrooms I went in Bangi were very attentive, but the best Ive met was Peugeot Balakong – the funniest old person Ive met and he kept on saying regardless If i buy or not, i hope many test drives to come would make you change my perspective – new 308.
Hi Bologna, if you dont mind can you roughly tell me where is the Honda Bangi located at? near Aeon Cheras Selatan?
Baguslah ada sunroof
