Honda Malaysia has introduced a few changes to the HR-V line-up that is currently offered on sale. No, this isn’t a facelift of any sorts, but rather an update in terms of specifications, with a slight change in price.
First up, the HR-V is now available in Dark Ruby Red Pearl, similar to that introduced on the City. The new body colour for the crossover will however, replace Crystal Black Pearl that will be discontinued. Other exterior changes here include the adoption of 17-inch alloy wheels (similar to Thai- and Indonesia-spec HR-Vs) on the base variant 1.8L S, the mid-spec 1.8L E and top-range 1.8L V. Previously, the HR-V came in 16-inch wheel sizes (all variants).
The changes mentioned above will come with a price hike of RM672.44 across the range. The 1.8L S now retails for RM99,129.67 (previously RM98,457.23), while the 1.8L E will set you back RM108,481.63 (previously RM107,809.19). For the top-spec 1.8L V, it will now cost you RM118,606.03 (previously RM117,933.59).
All prices mentioned here are on-the-road without insurance and inclusive of a five-year warranty (unlimited mileage) and and six free services alternate with paid service until 100,000 km mileage. What do you think of the new colour option for the Honda HR-V? Do you prefer it to the outgoing Crystal Black Pearl?

Early bird regretful again.
Red! My sugarbabies sure suka kaler nie.
Cool colors…..luv it. ,!!
Kita boleh bersyukur harga kereta semakin naik.
Malaysians prefer smaller tyres as it is cheaper. That is why CX5 initially 19 inch tyres at RM1000 a piece did not go well with buyers.
Why increase tyre size and sneakily increase car price?
Where is Najib’s promise to reduce car prices by 30%?
Huh? Care to explain what has 17″ tires got to do with Najib?
Forrester from Rm211k to Rm145k. 31% price down. Janji ditepati. Go TeamAdenan!
Madani Sahari still talking kok. Before you talk about TPPA, 2 things Madani has not done.
1) Why have you not asked your boss Najib to honour his promise to reduce car prices by 30%? Why do you still kipas Najib? you already got your Datukship, are you waiting for your Tan Sri ship?
2) For years you have been avoiding the AP crony issues. Why MAI and Madani don’t do anything about the AP cronies? Everybody is losing. 30 million people losing with high car prices whilst 30 AP cronies are becoming billionaires every year.
Don’t talk about TPPA. Do you know TPPA is 2 ways? You think TPPA is one way? Now, Malaysia will order car parts from US and use the TPPA to import at cheaper prices. Judging from Malaysian attitude, Malaysia will import more than what we will export.
And globally, everyone also will ask, why Malaysians themselves have so little faith in their automotive sector and the parts Malaysia produces? Eventually, the white man also will stop importing Malaysian parts in return.
Their own eyes will see, the same parts manufacturers also make for our national car. yet, our national car falls apart in pieces in few years. White man will soon realise, the parts manufacturers here have been cheating their own national car company Proton for years with low quality parts.
You think they will still buy our auto parts?
Nice red after all. Don’t mind paying abit extra
So it now comes with roof rails as well? No mention of this in the article.
I think they are the optional accessories.
Oh no, Korean rims again….
so this model no need wait 6 mnths?
very sorry for the rim design…17 inch good for nothing
The design looks a bit looks the E250’s default 18 inch, except it’s 18 inch.(w212)
Funny design, 17 inches tyre but the rim design spoils it
so how many months need to wait for this car?
Price hike yo! The rim change is just the excuse for the hike.
I would prefer neither of those colours. black one is too close to the Ruse Black Metallic, and the latter is way more special in my eyes, so the Crystal Black Pearl is somewhat redundant. And it isn’t the better looking colour on HR-V either.
The red one? No thanks. It’s a strange colour for me, still. I think it will be replaced soon also because even for City I don’t think I see many red ones on the road either.
Quite odd removing black to accommodate the ruby red. Always thought that black is a must have colour for any cars, in addition to silver. Anyways, rims look nicer than the 16 inch ones now.
HRV Malaysia Issues.
1. Hydraulic Tensioner Leakage Issues.
2. Rattling Noise for front Chassis
3. Rear Torsion Beam Issus
4. CVT Gearbox Leakage
How to buy ?
Of course is “use money to buy la”
They should have maintained this wheels since its introduction, considering other countries get this car with 17″ design as default at much cheaper price.
The smaller wheels is the culprit for ruining HRV’s so-called “SUV” design.
Any actual pics of the HRV in this color?
Mazda soulful red wud look nice on this
Still doesn’t come with LED tube rear lights
this car somehow looks nice when it was first introduced back then but now it does look outdated..maybe because so many good new design flooded in the market currently..
Reasonable increase for the bigger size rims… Should fit in nicely… Bt i hear the issue with the HRV is the waiting period… They sell every HRV they make , a dream for any car manufacturer…
Why so limited color choice
Honda should plonk in the 2.0 engine into the HRV to give it a better boost.
I drove it on hill climbs fully loaded with 4 passengers, the car struggles.
Better still, give it the Civic’s 1.5 turbo. Oh yeahh… Cheaper road tax and more fuel efficient too, in addition to more kick in the performance department.
Yes! tempting Civic. i support you bro!
Why don’t honda Malaysia add the paddle shifters and change the rear lights design? Thailand can do it, why not us?
Personally i think the 17 inch wheels would look great if it was in a lighter colour like the current16 inch wheels.
This set of rims should have been in the first batch all along but Honda Malaysia choose to downgrade the rim and tyre size. Back then, the excuse is for ride comfort, so what’s the excuse now then? Will Honda also offer existing owners to change back to this set of rims?
This car will still sell like hot cakes. It is High Resale Value car as what the name said.
Hr-v is too small for a family car if you ask me. the back can only seat two adults and not three adults. The aircon will freeze the front passenger before the back passenger get cold from the air con.
Too small for family crossover car. anyone agree or disagree with me?
Still no AWD
plan to buy hr-v.. but i saw to many problem at forum.. how? go straight to hrv or select other suv belom 120k.. damnnnn..
I had test drive these one, after that i test drive Sportage, I vote for Sportage much. Interms of power, comfort, spaces and stylish especially GT line
I had test drive these one, then test drive Sportage, sincerely i vote for Sportage. In terms of power, comfort, spaces and stylish, much better for Sportage. Kia is really good demand in europe, but malaysian always dreamed for honda..
