The Honda BR-V is now open for booking here in Malaysia, at all 88 authorised Honda dealerships nationwide. No prices have been announced just yet, but we’ve been told that the new seven-seat SUV will slot in between the Honda Jazz and HR-V in the local lineup. The official launch is set to come real soon, in the first quarter of 2017.
Essentially a crossover variation of the Mobilio MPV available in Indonesia, the BR-V – developed specifically for ASEAN markets – measures 4,455 mm long, 1,735 mm wide and 1,650 mm tall, with a 2,660 mm-long wheelbase and a ground clearance of just over 200 mm. That’s right in between the HR-V (4,294 mm long, 1,772 mm wide and 1,605 mm tall) and CR-V (4,590 mm long, 1,820 mm wide and 1,685 mm tall), though the BR-V’s wheelbase is the longest of the three, being a three-row SUV.
The BR-V is powered by a 1.5 litre SOHC i-VTEC four-cylinder petrol engine providing 120 hp and 145 Nm of torque. All that power is directed to the front wheels via an Earth Dreams CVT automatic. Being a seven-seater, the second row has a 60:40 split-folding feature, with a one-touch tumble function to access the third, 50:50 split-folding row. Boot space stands at a class-leading 223 litres with all seats up, or 539 litres with the third row folded.
In terms of safety, the BR-V was awarded a five-star ASEAN NCAP safety rating for models fitted with electronic stability control (ESC). We have already reviewed the Thai-spec BR-V, which you can read in full here. You can register your interest at Honda Malaysia’s official website.

INDIA only selling this 3rd world country milo tin ugly cheap car from rm 57k(S) – 73k(top-spec) …
Yup. In India this car less than RM60k. But if they sell RM60k in Malaysia, who will buy the palat Ertiga aka 2 star rated junk?
I see honda is learning from proton choosing inappropriate steering wheel design. Not sure why the city wheel design is used instead of the newer city steering wheel design.
Honda CRZ > All
Bring the pilot here so we have more choice other than outlander sorento santa fe….
Bravo Honda (M) for having the confidence/daring to open for booking(BR-V) here in Malaysia without the price.
It’s just registration only. No need to pay for booking.
Poor man’s CR-V.

If your mentioned price was true, some of potential buyers will turn back to sienta
Sienta fits me well…
best car your money can buy. Even better than the sienta, alza or haval.
Once drive a Honda, it will put a smile on your face and you’ll love it till death do us part.
In Indonesia, price for the high specs is rm85k..
This car is based on a Honda Brio hatchback and Brio Amaze sedan, which is an A segment low cost car that competes with Proton Saga, Perodua Axia and Bezza, Hyundai i10, Kia Picanto. And now we are being fooled thinking it is a B segment MPV. It is not based on the Jazz, City platform. It should be less than RM70k! Greedy Honda Malaysia wants a fast profit. At this rate, I rather have the Toyota Sienta, as it is a proper B segment car. If you are not in the rush to but a new car, wait for 2018 for new Alza. By then, all new cars will be required to have VSC. Don’t get blinded with the Honda badge. This is the old Honda Mobilio, facelifted with 1.5 and a new fancy posh name, BRV.
The true rival for the Toyota Sienta is the B-segment Honda Freed, and NOT the BRV!
Maybe he states on choice that people have right now rather than pick the grand livina, alza, avanza, or ertiga
You are very right
I rather wait for 8-seaters 1.5 TGDi Exora
say what???
looks like crv from outside ,the boot redesigned into 2 seater, and some touch in here and there,.. nothings new la wei
Cheap interior material and outdated technology used for the car. If priced more than RM85k then not worth to buy.
i watch a review from youtube, it say the build quality and ride quality is worst then Suzuki Ertiga.
Malaysia is fast becoming the market to sell and rebadged old-technology vehicles.
All cars are having problems of their own. A lot of time it depends on how you use and maintain the car, and also your luck. The Hyundai Elantra which I bought in mid 2012 have only been in workshop for steering rack replacement once wheres my brother’s BMW 3 series bought in end 2012 have been sent to workshop for major repair 3 times. Nowadays Japanese manufacturers are competing price with other manufacturers as well, so a lot of the parts that they are using are of sub-standard quality. Those car repairing workshop owners seldom drive Honda. A relative of mine who run a car repair workshop refused to buy Honda as he told me that Honda cars are prone to oil leakage, including the new model.
