Honda CR-V 2WD now with leather seats, RM1k more

CR-V-2WD-Leather-Seats

The Honda CR-V 2.0 2WD now comes with leather seats, as announced on Honda Malaysia’s Facebook page. The CR-V 2WD, which came on board with the fourth-gen facelift – launched exactly a year ago on this date – was the only local variant to come with fabric seats. The 2.0 4WD and 2.4 4WD had leather upholstery from the start.

No free lunch, but this additional side dish is good value at RM1,000 extra, which means that the CR-V 2WD’s new price is RM142,900 on-the-road including insurance. The entry-level variant was priced at RM138,070 post-GST in 2015 before rising along with the whole Honda Malaysia range to RM141,900 from January 1, 2016.

The Honda CR-V is powered by a 2.0 litre SOHC i-VTEC motor with 155 PS at 6,500 rpm and 190 Nm at 4,300 rpm. Power is channeled solely to the front wheels in the 2WD variant, via a five-speed automatic gearbox. Honda claims fuel consumption of 13 km/l for the 2.0 2WD and 12.25 km/l for the 2.0 4WD. More on the CR-V facelift here.

      That problem is for the U.S market which get new CVT and engine. Malaysia no problem because we are using the same 5-speed auto and engine like the pre-facelift.

      Ugly design, shitty suspension setup and boring to drive. The most Useless model from Honda and the ugliest Honda model in history unlike the HRV and Jazz.

        You Mr darren memang bodoh punya orang Malaysia. Diorang cakap pasal CR-V memang betul bro.
        Saya punya keluarga ada beli myvi dan CR-V baru. Kereta SuV CR-V 2.4 keluarga saya lepas 6 bulan, banyak masalah2 dari segi kualiti interior, suspensi dan bunyi kuat enjin. Memang teruk sebenarnya.
        Saya punya Myvi tiada masalah selepas 4 tahun pun bodoh. Myvi bukan kereta ‘cheap’. U tak percaya u cuba pandu uji CX-5 dan X-trail baru. CR-V kalah la bro. Komen2 sebelum ini bukan drpd ‘Troll’. Its true facts kawan.

      Malaysians are too brand cautious when buying cars.
      This Honda Brand is extremely well worshiped and sought after here in bolehland.
      No matter how poorly equipped or hideous Honda’s cars are made, they will still sell well.
      Look around Malaysia. Thousands of Hondas around Malaysia guys.

    They should have updated the 2.0 models with standard curtain airbags

    Question, why Honda likes Setia City Convention Center so much?

    Well, amid such economy slowdown, how many have so much cash to splash for this mid range SUV, rich guys never buy entry level model.
