2017 Honda CR-V
Honda has confirmed that the all-new CR-V for the Thailand market will come with the brand’s 1.6L i-DTEC Turbo engine for the first time in the kingdom, mated to a nine-speed automatic transmission.
This confirms an earlier report that suggested such a drivetrain will be made available in the fifth-generation of Honda’s popular SUV. The launch of the CR-V is expected to take place in Thailand as early as the end of March, ahead of the 2017 Bangkok International Motor Show.
The i-DTEC mill features a two-stage turbocharger system, “which intelligently creates high torque and acceleration to be the most efficient in all driving conditions.” According to Honda, the engine produces 160 hp at 4,000 rpm and 350 Nm of torque at 2,000 rpm.
With the nine-speed auto, the fuel consumption is claimed to be at 18.9 km/l, while the CO2 emission rate is at 141 g/km. In other markets like the United States, the CR-V is only offered with a choice of two petrol engines.
The first is a 2.4 litre naturally-aspirated direct injection four-cylinder DOHC i-VTEC petrol engine (184 hp/244 Nm), while the other is a 1.5 litre turbocharged direct injection four-cylinder DOHC VTC (190 hp/243 Nm). Both petrol options, unlike the diesel mill, can only be had with a CVT.
Suffice to say, the CR-V is certainly one of the most anticipated cars of the year, and is rumoured to be one of two remaining models (after the BR-V and City facelift) that Honda Malaysia plans to launch in 2017, with the other being the new Jazz Hybrid.

Looking to sell your car? Sell it with Carro.
Damn, 9 speed auto on a CRV. Even BMW has only 8 gears. The diesel/9 speed combo will probably never make it to Malaysia.
CRV > Volvo
Diesel in Bolehland dirty & costly.
Obviously ini semua Salah ….
Volvo=Geely=China model
Malaysians still fixated on hybrids
For a Diesel engine, the power output per litre is almost as good to turbocharged petrol engine.
The diesel is also turbocharged. Petrol turbocharged has wayy higher hp per litre.
But turbo petrol engine can never hit the kind of fuel consumption that the diesel engine can achieve, especially if you’re a heavy footer.
The new CRV needs the 350 Nm of torque & the 9-speeder badly.
RM1 equals 7.87 Thai Baht.
Will it get eev status here in Malaysia?
Sure get EEV status. Sure can sell RM99k.
It wont sell rm99k, compare to mazda cx5 diesel price. Actually, cx5 should price same as petro version as eev status.
Janji turun 30% also kenot fulfill.
99K lawak badut btul la…
Will only run on Euro5 diesel just like d CX5 diesel?
Yes only Euro5 diesel. B5 / B10 diesel option is out
I doubt Honda will launch the turbo diesel in Msia
still fugly, strictly for soccer moms only.
Yeah.. Ugly.. I still waiting for Proton SUV for my 1st SUV! Huhuhu!
the Proton Exora?
It’s an MPV. Btw, exora bold turbo is not a bad vehicle. Power is adequate & comfortable for long journeys. I only noticed this after the organisation I work for bought this for office’s car, & i drove it or being a passenger for several times. Proton only needs to add some bells & whistles to this model, such as apple carplay & android auto enable audio display, wireless charging, 6 airbags and a little bit more frugal engine. After driving this car to return it to the office, when I drive my own honda city back home, it felt heavy & sluggish, although that was not it’s usual character. Maybe because the feel of the drive immediately compared (different segment is not the issue here), & the difference was immediately noticed.
So same engine option for Malaysia? Any chance the 1.5 petrol turbo be offered here?
If more engine option offered here, I think C-HR don’t even stand a chance.
I hate when someone condemn honda. Espesiali the airbag. You know now honda got the recall package for the airbag. you can change the new airbag at petronas mehhh. no need go to the service centre. Waste your time. Really like the package…..
Would be great if msia get this as well. No reason it shldnt.
Honda need to new engine badly to boost the sale.
The present CRV is out dated with slow pick up and high fuel consumption as compared to Nissan X-trail and Hyundai Tucsan.
If they can have the 7 seaters then this car will be perfect and will say bye bye to my Estima.
Honda Malaysia easily can put civic 1.5t engine into new cr-v. Problem solved. Dont waste time to decide either to bring in this turbo diesel engine or the 190hp 1.5t engine
Any news of 7 seater version of the new CRV? I heard that Indian version will be getting it. Honda badly need a 7 seater to fill in the gap between BRV and odyssey.
Honda must get the 7 seaters CRV to beat the nissan X-trail.
This new engine will enhance the sale but not able to beat the 7 seaters top sale Nissan Xtrail.
Good news : CR-V Thai Version come with 5+2 seats and 4 variants 2.4 2WD, 1.6 Diesel 2WD, 2.4 4WD and 1.6 Diesel 4WD
How about the price? If 1.5t 4wd is not much differ from current 2.4 4wd, then not for me.
Did it really get the direct injection 2.4? I looked at the spec and it says 173hp. Which is the same HP as the previous engine.
