The Honda CR-V facelift is now here in Malaysia, with a new price tag of RM149,980, a premium of slightly over RM2k when you compared it to the outgoing pre-facelift model. However in return for the RM2k the equipment list has had some very important safety additions in my opinion. Here’s what’s new:
- VSA stability control has been added to the vehicle.
- There are now a total of 4 airbags, up from the previous 2. The additional 2 are the two Occupant Position Detection System side airbags.
- New engine hood, fog lamps, upper and lower front bumper, front grille and 17 inch alloy wheel design.
- Four reverse sensors instead of two previously.
- A new in-car entertainment unit featuring USB input – which is found neatly tucked in the upper glove box.
- New fabric design for the seats.
- New seat-mounted fold-down arm rest which is wider.
- LCD screen in the middle of the meter cluster now has blue backlighting.
- Sound insulators enlarged and new seals added in dashboard, hood, inner fender, fender enclosure, rear door lining, rear side lining, cargo lid and wing mirror garnish.
- Revised suspension geometry – front caster trail from 20mm to 15mm, rear double wishbone damper settings revised and rear compliance bush shape improved.
Five colours are available – Alabaster Silver, Polish Metal, Crystal Black, Taffeta White and a new colour called Urban Titanium.

Comments overall express positive feelings towards the Honda CR-V facelift, highlighting improvements such as added safety features like VSA stability control and side airbags, which enhance security. Many users appreciate the increased safety offerings for a reasonable extra cost and praise the vehicle’s handling, ride comfort, and interior features like USB connectivity. Some critique the limited interior upgrades such as the absence of leather seats and the exterior design, describing it as bland or unexciting. Concerns about pricing, perceived value, and value for money are common, with some deeming the RM150k price tag high for only modest enhancements. Several comments compare it unfavorably to Korean SUVs, question the absence of premium features like HID headlights, and discuss the importance of safety technology, with VSA being widely appreciated for its life-saving potential.
