It appears that order books for the 2017 Honda CR-V are set to open from June 1, according to this dealer leaflet sent in to us by a paultan.org reader.
In terms of specifications, the CR-V will be offered with a 1.5 litre VTEC Turbo engine, although no exact output figures were provided. For reference, the blown DOHC four-pot makes 190 PS (187 hp) and 240 Nm of torque in the Indonesian-spec CR-V and just announced Australian model range, mated to a CVT automatic.
A naturally-aspirated mill should be offered alongside the turbo mill, likely the R20 2.0 litre SOHC with 155 PS and 190 Nm, similar to that available in Indonesia. In the republic, the turbocharged CR-V is sold as a seven-seater, whereas the NA is a five-seater only model, while Australia will sell the turbo in both five- and seven-seat layouts.
It remains to be seen how the Malaysian-spec CR-V will shape up in terms of engine options, seating configuration and drive systems (2WD, 4WD), or for that matter, variant grades – it could well mirror that available for the Civic, with the NA as a baseline variant, followed by a mid-spec turbo and then high-spec turbo.
A nice surprise here is the first Malaysian debut of the Honda Sensing safety suite on select variants (absent on the Indonesian-spec CR-V), which includes systems like forward collision warning, collision mitigation braking and road departure mitigation. Meanwhile, standard safety features found on the CR-V are vehicle stability assist (VSA) and six airbags.
In terms of equipment, the CR-V will receive LED headlights, LED DRLs and LED tail lights. Smart entry and a push-start button will come as standard on all variants. No details on what else is in store for the all-new CR-V line-up, or pricing for that matter. Therefore, we’ll have to wait for more details tomorrow, but for now, are you interested?
UPDATE: Honda Malaysia has officially announced that bookings for the new 2017 Honda CR-V is now open at all showrooms nationwide.

Good news indeed. Honda has been losing this segment to Nissan, now can fight back.
Finally Honda is doing something right. But I attribute this to the Honda brains who are sharp, focused and have a good business sense.
I can’t say this for DRB though, the assembler of Honda in Malaysia. They are still lembap, lepak and minum teh 8x a day.
I hope DRB wake up from their deep slumber before the Geely CEO comes and give them a good whipping.
If they lembap minum teh 8x a day the handling of P1 cars are not as good as now. It would be as bad as jepunis cars
Wow, you counted how many times they minum teh? Bravo… you must have been jobless too
Wow…Nicholas Tan must the most.famous car salesman in Malaysia right now… free advertising for him
Kueh lapis mana? Teh tarik only meh?
Your comment is contradict for each statement. If Japs who are sharp, focused and have a good business sense but the assembler lepak and minum teh 8x a day, how come this CRV are already here and can be book?
This is the Japanese intelligence making it happen!
And of course, Geely is making the DRB staff wake u from their deep slumber!
??? Geely only took over last week, while new CRV was in pipeline for months. How does that compute?
This kunta kunte all the time contradict maa…one nick many writers…all want to condemn only…bash here bash there…nothing positive and concrete…so lousy hor…
Free advertising for the Honda salesman
Lol proton honda are under drb
OMG the taillights…cant they make them even more uglier…but kunta kinte said beautiful…so ok lor…kunta is always rite…must listen to him…
Yalor. Taboleh persoal basher. He alwiz right, cuz he alwiz many self like, hehehe.
Jangan marah marah ye…. :)
Helloo Get a room lah!
MR.DRB…Honda has collision sensing.
PROTONG……..has BANKRUPTCY sensing.
Thats why in order to AVOID LIQUIDATION,Geely has to come in as the WHITE KNIGHT.
Imagine the few hundred crony suppliers getting paid only rm 1,and asked to contact the liquidator for the balance.
Honda….the power of dreams
Protong..the power of nightmarish dreams
Proton and Perodua, pls take note. Honda is giving 6 airbags. Your Saga and Axia/Myvi, besides just 2 airbags, the cars have no VSC even.
Axia is even worse, got no ABS besides no VSC
In Europe, VSC was made compulsory by law 12 years ago. And ABS, about 16 yrs ago.
This means, Malaysians are sold cars with safety spec 16 years outdated.
Remember, Malaysian Government already said, if all cars had VSC, accidents and deaths can be reduced 45%

By the way, Proton and Honda is under DRB. Why the Protons also got no 6 airbags?
Why you dun mention iriz persona with ESC and 6 airbags?
cause majority of Proton buyers buy the Saga. Iriz is a failure with near ZERO sales and Persona is too pricey for most Malaysians seeking a Proton
Wa so intelligent la this guy twisting, oi compare iriz persona with crv memang bodo. Even honda a segment brio dun VSA!
Like this why u dun say my P2 is deathtrap cuz most pipu buy driving skool spec Biza, huh?
Sian staying in very remote area mau claim Iriz near zero sales
Persona is around 40, even wira was around that price donkey years ago. Too pricey is false claim
Iriz near zero sale? But why there are many iriz on the road today? Haters always hate. LOL
bcoz haters cannot accept proton is better than their own lousy car
That 1.5 turbo engine that almost every Malaysian is jizzing about is taken from the old 1.5 vtecs that used to run in the city generation 2 10 years ago… u try to order a spare parts and see la bang…
it sounds like I’m bashing honda without any base but i’m just tired with how honda Malaysia is getting away with mediocre products….this is a fact…through clever rebranding and updating ‘enough’ parts…
Honda has managed to extend the lifecycle of their engineering for 2-3 generations…
that’s not necessarily a bad thing and lots do it..but Honda has managed to stretch it through 3 lifecycles (and people go insane about vios having same engine and gearbox..this practice is an entire brand and range of cars!).. that r and k series engine in the hrv, accord etc also dinosaur age d…the earth dreams is just a new name and ec and injectors..even the cvt gearboxes they use are of an older type compared to Nissan etc..
Ok so engineering lama d…how about design bro??..Look at that CRV..that rear end is hideous…the civic is hideous after looking at it for more than 10 seconds..The hrv looks like a jinjang mobile….the only sorted design in the range is city/jazz and maybe the accord
but……….because most Malaysians jizz at anything with an H badge on it..just like their fathers and older siblings did about 10 years ago with the ‘T’ symbol… this under engineered under specced Malacca piles of metal rubbish will still sell…. now that they got active sense and airbags..all gonna jizz maximum….Those that in the know..will understand what I’m saying…sadly..most won’t and think I’m a bashing rival brand salesman…… Sekian…
Sadly your knowledge on the new 1.5 Turbo engine is not correct. Next time you want to act intelligent, please note that other readers here have decades in Automotive knowledge from the industry. Thank you.
Honda is reliable
Honda has good RV
Honda looks okay
Honda drives okay
All of these reasons tick with Malaysians
Oh wow strong language you have there. Bentley charges people RM2million for whats essentially the same 6 3/4 litre V8 since the Beetles was president and no one bets an eye? An piston engine does the same job from your humble Myvi to the magnificent LaFerrari, air and fuel goes in, sparks go off and boom! And regardless if its using the L15 as Honda’s of ye grand parents the end result is that it has adequate performace with excelent reliability. What you expect Honda to throw in a hybrid Quad Turbo V12 into their family oriented SUV. Even than i doubt it’ll calm whatever distaste you have to Honda cars.
The fact of the matter is People in malaysia buy Honda for a reason, they are well packaged cars at a good price supported by an extensive dealer network. If you want to be a contrarian, get yourself an Alfa and spend the great time marveling its exquisite Italian engineering by the roadside because you’ll be doing alot of that. No hate man, just giving you a better depth of the situation.
Do you even own an alfa to make a general consensus alfa is unreliable shit? I own an Alfa and VW. My VW have more reliability issue than myy Alfa selespeed.
Ah, i was about to use VW as an example but theres nothing contrarian of a VW owner. And well this is probably the first time i’am hearing praises of Alfa reliability, perhaps compared to the infamous DSG, or perhaps meeting with owners of older Alfa more often than 156/159.
Vios lol.
what a pity
are u on drugs?
Clever way to make yourself famous……by saying things that people don’t want to hear or talking rubbish. I admire your solidarity.
Wow.. That is some very smart engineering idea you got there. You thought is just take the old L15A engine and magically turn it from a SOHC engine to a DOHC engine by just adding 1 more cam . Then magically transform port injection to direct injection . Last but not least, get a bolt on turbo and slap onto the engine then call it a day . Bravo!!! That will end up just like what Campro Turbo is with only 130+hp for 100cc extra from the Honda L15B turbo.
bang dat one is normal 1.5 n.a engine..this one is a 1.5 turbo..and if im not mistaken, the churned out power is different with civic.Get ur facts right first.Is either u r one of the x laku salesman brand or x laku no resale value brand…or even worse now china made car..
are you john ohwai? Cause you sound like john ohwai! He is king of dupes. I think LOL is another dupe of john ohwai
Really LOL lah you.
Yes, the current 1.5L Turbo (L15B7) is based on the same platform as the “old” City (L15A), perhaps sharing the same engine block but many other internal workings are vastly different.
Manufacturers usually will use a robust & reliable engine block & further improve upon the inner workings to squeeze more & more from it, till the engine end of life cycle, which maybe decades away.
BMW, in 1987 launched the E36 3 series with the in line 4 cylinder 1.8L M40 engine. That same block in 2001 is used to produce the 2.0L N42 engine, the first BMW with electronic variable valve lift (valvetronic). The very same block in 2011 is used to produce the 2.0L N20 engine, a direct injection twin scroll turbo. That’s a THIRTY YEAR old engine block, into FOUR generations of 3 series & still not end of life cycle yet.
And Honda is “old enginnering”???
I do agree that the engine could be from 1.5 NA but the technology could have evolved from 1.5NA to 1.5 turbo charged over years. That’s what R&D about. The technology would not simply pop out of thin air. Smart comment but not that smart.
Well equipped finally, but this thing is really fat & fugly to look at.
Wow wow wow !!! Congratulation to Honda for providing Honda Sensing for CRV which is first for Malaysia and yet not available in other SEA market…Now could Honda bring the diesel to Malaysia please??
great job honda malaysia..great safety features..hope the selling price not dissapointed…
The rear exterior design looks like it was designed in China 10 years back. This must be the ugliest rear design of all SUV in the market.
wish honda malaysia put lanewatch into CRV & civic..its usefull
Lanekeep Assist is better. Stops idiots from swerving out of lanes and force them use signal when changing.
If they don’t rave about having 7 seats in the brochure most likely it won’t come with them. Remember xtrail brochure? 7 seats were prominently promoted
Exactly what I’ve been looking for in the article. Thanks for pointing that out
nicholas tan is famous liao
“A nice surprise here is the first Malaysian debut of the Honda Sensing safety suite on select variants (absent on the Indonesian-spec CR-V), which includes systems like forward collision warning, collision mitigation braking and road departure mitigation.”
Congratulations. Hopefully, other car makers will follow soon and stop dumbing-down their vehicles.
2017 gonna be a battle crv vs cx5
2 big drawback for crv
misplaced gear , same as myvi
unappealing exterior, unlike civic
Well done, Honda Malaysia for bringing in Honda sensing here, hope to see that at least the lane watch will be added on civic turbo. And UMW its time to wake up, put Toyota Safety Sense P (TSS-P) on coming CHR here and price it right, no more 2 airbags on non-full spec toyota pls.
Err..no 7 seats?
1.5 Turbo Prestige -4WD selling below 145k? If yes, then lets get 1.
Pls be 7 seats honda!! if not I hv to buy nissan :(
You can buy the BR-V!! plus it’s cheaper too…
Honda sensing lol. Ioniq did that with only rm100k.
Try ask Honda la why Civic in Malaysia doesn’t use the same material as Civic in US
The issue here is none of those CRV competitors have these yet. Just checked on Toyota, Nissan, Kia, Hyundai, Peugeot, Ford … none.
Pity if they do not offer 7-seater (5+2) variant. Having said that, if they dare to offer RM140K for 5-seater it could be a win for new CRV buyer.
RM140K something alien for H-worshippers BUT in more advance Australia the crossover merely starting just at RM97K. Is Malaysians generally richer by RM43K?
Did anyone see the gear lever????? Reminds you of ANYTHING????? Plesepleasepleaseplesaseplease Honda Malaysia please replace this with something more kid-friendly….
What’s the issue with the gear lever?
Looks like a part of the female body part.. :(
I don’t understand what’s the advantages of open booking for buyer? Don’t even see the car yet and knowing the price. This only benefits the car dealer collecting your hard earn money n place into the bank for interest.
wait for new cx5
leader??? for what? Ugly SUVs?
This could be my very First Honda
Honda salesman told me crv awd is far more better than Subaru forester..is that true?
Now that a precedent has been set on the name & H/Phone numbers, will there be further numbers & names to follow for other cars/brands?! It is a Gud advertisement 4 that chap by the name of NT.
so confirm no 7 seater?
What is the price of this new Honda CR-V (all specs)? Is there any estimation or should we wait for launch date?
thank you.
