Surprise, surprise, the Honda BR-V has been spotted in Malaysia again. This time however, the seven-seater SUV is seen here wearing a shade of black rather than the white car which was previewed at the Mines International Exhibition & Convention Centre (MIECC) a few weeks ago.
There is some camouflage to be seen here, which is pointless considering the car is already on sale in Indonesia and Thailand, fully visible to all. In actuality, those swirly-design stickers are intended to mask the variant of the BR-V seen here.
At the covered areas is where you’ll find possible chrome trim pieces, chrome (or body-coloured) door handles and emblems that help to identify which spec this BR-V represents. The 16-inch wheel design seen during the preview is retained here, so, could this be the high-spec variant?
We’ll have to wait for the launch of the BR-V in Malaysia (rumoured to take place next year) before all is revealed. However, what is certain is under the hood of the SUV, is a 1.5 litre SOHC i-VTEC engine as seen on the Jazz and City, which outputs 120 PS and 145 Nm, with drive being sent to the front via an Earth Dreams CVT.
For a better look at the BR-V, do check out our walk-around video tour and first review of the SUV in Japan, here. We’ve also had a chance to sample the seven-seater in Thailand recently, so look forward to our drive report out soon.

Looking to sell your car? Sell it with Carro.
Wtf honda couldn’t even get the window line straight.
That’s what we call design.
You want it look like Kenari or Juara ka?
Most Malaysians rather spend just a bit more to buy this BRV than Ertiga.
If you take loan, at most, this BRV will be about RM100 ringgit more per month also.
I heard from Honda Malaysia inside info that Honda has submitted to MITI that they want to sell this car below RM80k
But we know, MITI will shoot down this proposal cause then nobody will buy the Ertiga.
See, another example of how Proton destroys the market for all other brands in Malaysia.
Protek Protek Protek!
Kunta Kinte bro, Ertiga is priced from RM58k to RM64k, say BRV is priced at lowest RM78k, that’s about RM20k difference. RM20k will roughly sets you back at average RM300 monthly installment for 9 years brother. Not RM100.
Hello ALBERT…..*wink* *wink*
Can tell it’s high spec-ed with the lil reverse camera bulge…
P1 Ertiga > All
Bottom Residues Value
Honda Mobilio>ER3
This model still using takata air bag ka?
so Fugly man.. seriously this gonna sell in malaysia?
If the Avanza will, why not this?
This would spell the end for the Avanza though. Will probably knock off a chunk of Sienta sales as well, given that the Sienta could costs quite a bit more.
BRV, Avanza, Livina, Ertiga, Exora, Alza.
If budget RM60k but less than 80k, go for Exora
If budget >RM80k, go for BRV.
When the new Freed will come here? The new Freed look nice.
This is a Honda. U can put any name be it ABC or XYZ, it will still sell in droves. The only question is the price.
A Stream sell for more than 150 grand. This being smaller in engine & size will sell for 90 to 100k, same as the Sienta bcos its their main competitor.
