2017 Honda CR-V launched in Malaysia – three 1.5L Turbo, one 2.0L NA, priced from RM142k to RM168k

Honda Malaysia has officially introduced the 2017 Honda CR-V in the country, and the fifth-generation RW arrives here in four variant forms, three of which are turbocharged. The three turbo versions are led by the range-topping 1.5L Turbo Premium 2WD, which is equipped with Honda Sensing and LaneWatch, and this is followed by the the 1.5L Turbo in 2WD and 4WD guise.

All the turbo variants are equipped with a 1.5 litre direct injection turbocharged VTEC engine, the same seen on the Civic, but output of the L15B7 has been bumped up in this application to 193 PS at 5,600 rpm and 243 Nm of torque from 2,000 to 5,000 rpm, or 20 PS and 23 Nm more than that on the sedan. Performance numbers include a 0-100 km/h time of 8.8 seconds for the Turbo 2WD and Turbo Premium 2WD, and 9.2 seconds for the Turbo 4WD, with all having the same 200 km/h top speed.

The fourth CR-V is a normally-aspirated version, and the 2.0L i-VTEC 2WD is the entry-level offering in the new CR-V range. The base model retains the previously-seen R20 naturally-aspirated 2.0 litre i-VTEC motor with 154 PS at 6,500 rpm and 189 Nm at 4,300 rpm, good enough for a 0-100 km/h time of 11.3 seconds and a 193 km/h top speed. All four CR-V models feature Honda’s Earth Dreams CVT transmission, which replaces the five-speed auto seen in the outgoing model.

Measuring 4,584 mm long, 1,855 mm wide and 1,689 mm tall, the new CR-V is six millimetres shorter but 35 mm wider and four millimetres higher than the previous-gen, while the wheelbase has seen an increase of 40 mm, now measuring 2,660 mm.

Some other relevant numbers. Ground clearance is 198 mm, except for the 4WD model, which has an additional 10 mm (208 mm) of clearance. Kerb weight is 1,520 kg for the 2.0L NA, while the Turbo 2WD is 1,543 kg. The Turbo 4WD, meanwhile, tips the scales at 1,595 kg, while the top-of-the-line Turbo Premium 2WD weighs in at 1,549 kg.

The automaker says that the new car offers best-in-class space, and interior volume has been bumped up to around the 4,100 litre mark, roughly around 100 litres more than the old car. Boot space with the second-row rear seats up is 522 litres, and 1,084 litres with the seats folded flat – in this particular configuration, 1,830 mm of flat floor cargo space is available.

As already highlighted previously, the complete CR-V range sold in Malaysia are all five-seat versions, which is along the lines the SUV was designed on. According to Honda Malaysia, a survey showed buyers in the target market don’t really look at extra seating as a primary point of consideration, instead placing space and features ahead of the additional seats, and so the decision was made to retain the familiar five-seat layout.

The CR-V is pretty comprehensively equipped, even at base model level. Standard equipment across the entire range includes auto LED headlights and LED DRLs and fog lamps, black combination leather seats, walk-away auto door locking, smart keyless entry with push-start ignition, paddle shifters, dual-zone air-conditioning and rear AC vents.

Also on, cruise control, an auto dimming rear view mirror, eight-way driver powered seat with lumbar support and four-way passenger powered seat, four-way rear parking sensors, two rear USB charging ports, a three-spoke leather wrapped steering wheel and one-touch folding seats.

All the CR-V variants also come equipped with an eight-speaker, seven-inch Advanced Display Audio system with Apple CarPlay/Android Auto and hands-free telephone connectivity along with two front USB and HDMI ports.

There’s also a full colour LCD TFT instrument meter panel, which can display a number of functions, the readouts including telephone calls, music and FM station selection. On the 4WD model, the instrument panel can also display torque distribution.

Away from the 2.0L i-VTEC 2WD, the turbo models come with auto wipers and four-corner front parking sensors. The normally-aspirated 2.0 litre also gets silver interior trim accents and rides on 17-inch alloys wrapped with 235/65 rubbers, while all the turbo variants get a wood finish and are equipped with 18-inch alloy wheels and 235/60 tyres.

The 1.5L Turbo Premium 2WD adds on auto high beam, active cornering lights and a height-adjustable powered tailgate, which can be programmed to open to a certain height for ease of use.

It’s also the only variant equipped with the Honda Sensing suite of driver assistance systems, which we have already detailed in our preview drive with the car.

The range-topping CR-V 1.5L Turbo Premium 2WD is the first Honda to be sold here with the package, which utilises a millimetre wave radar in the grille and a monocular camera positioned at the top of the windscreen to provide a number of new active safety features.

It groups seven items under its umbrella, these being Lane Departure Warning (LDW), Lane Keeping Assist System (LKAS), Road Departure Mitigation (RDM). Collision Mitigation Braking System (CMBS), Forward Collision Warning (FCW) and Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC), the last working together with a Low Speed Follow (LSF) function.

In terms of safety, the ASEAN NCAP five-star rated CR-V features six airbags (dual front, side and side curtain) across the entire model range, which is up from the four on the outgoing 2.0 2WD and 4WD variants (only the range-topping 2.4 4WD model had six) as well as rear Isofix mounting points.

Elsewhere, Vehicle Stability Assist (VSA) is standard across the range, now supplanted with Agile Handle Assist (AHA). The CR-V also comes with hill-start assist, auto brake hold, ABS/EBD a multi-angle rear view camera

As for overall performance, the automaker says that the new CR-V – in its 1.5L Turbo guise – offers improvements over the fourth-gen in all relevant areas across the board. These include improved dynamics and stability, better steering precision and feedback as well as less delay in vehicle movement in response to input. Needless to say, it’s also faster off the mark and correspondingly, sportier in nature.

Noise, vibration and harshness (NVH) performance has also been improved on, with a number of revisions helping to achieve the necessary. Items in the rework include the incorporation of additional sound insulation materials and a new floating rear sub-frame.

Also on, a re-optimised arm configuration for the the multi-link rear suspension and the introduction of liquid-filled compliance bushings and mountings. It’s all good enough to bring the NVH levels to European SUV levels, according to the automaker.

Five colours are available for the CR-V, these being Obsidian Blue Pearl, White Orchid Pearl, Modern Steel Metallic, Lunar Silver Metallic and a new shade called Dark Olive Metallic. There’s a RM400 premium for the White Orchid Pearl

The 2017 Honda CR-V range is priced as follows:
Honda CR-V 1.5L Turbo Premium 2WD – RM167,700
Honda CR-V 1.5L Turbo 4WD – RM161,600
Honda CR-V 1.5L Turbo 2WD – RM155,700
Honda CR-V 2.0L i-VTEC 2WD – RM142,400

      Prices have gone up quite a lot. These prices are without insurance. Don’t be fooled with the OTR mention.

      Already we Malaysians are paying the highest car prices in the world. To make it worse, our GDP per capita is one of the lowest in the world. According to EPF statistics, 78.3% of ALL its contributors only earn RM1500 and below.

      We Malaysians not only earn so little, our car prices and petrol prices keep on going higher and higher

    Strange, Honda is using the R20A version engine used in the previous gen Accord and current Perdana as opposed to the R20Z improved version which is used in the current Accord and previous gen CR-V. What is the reason for this?? Low sales of Perdana prompting Honda to have to use the R20A engine to clear inventory?

    OMG OMG. Who can afford at this price? This is ridicuolus. In US, the previous 2.4 was only USD$22k. A frsh graduate there earns US$4500 per month

    In Malaysia, fresh graduate here earn RM2500. But car is RM170k. Where got logic? Somemore CKD with Made in Malaysia parts, it should be far cheaper. That is the whole purpose of CKD, to make it affordable to Malaysians.

    This is why Malaysian Gomen encouraged CKD. In the 90s, all our cars were CBU. But gomen said CKD would be affordable to Malaysians and started CKDing cars in MAlaysia

        Gomen already confirmed that we are also on track that by 2020, we become high income nation with GDP per capita of USD$48,000. That means, Malaysians would have an income of USD4000 (RM18,000) per month in 3 years time.

        Naturally, if we are going to be FIRST world in 3 years time, we should also have First world car pricing also and follow Mat Salleh pricing of cars.

    Gomen should honour their promise to the rakyat to reduce car prices and not increase car prices. It is difficult for the rakyat with increasing petrol prices to survive.

      • not necessarily more fuel consumption vs NA. keep it under boost for the same time with 2.0 NA engines and it’ll consume more. plus if you kept it out of boost then you wont benefit the torque from turbo. Thats why high compression with direct injection NA in newer mazda is the way to go.

    Good car. CRV has always been a popular choice and now with this turbo offering, it’s going to be a tough fight for the rest. At 1.5 Turbo, you have better performance, uses less fuel and pay less for road tax. Of course it’s more expensive to begin with.

    Wonder when certain brand will start to offer their real turbo variants.

    • yup… driving 1 HRV now and i think it is more than enough.. the only complain is the rear suspension which the HRV using torsion beam as oppose to CRV multilink

      other than that, it is still a 5-seater with plenty of room..

    • One is B segment one is C segment. is totally diff in material used,specs,space,driving comfort etc. You can say the same. why need a civic when u have city with 5 seater & spacious with much cheaper price? or why you need BMW X6 when you can get X1 at much cheaper price?

    Get a Kia Sorento 2.2 Turbo Diesel. CRV 1.5 turbo cannot beat this beast in terms of performance.

      Sorento 0-100kmh 9.2secs and CRV Turbo 8.8secs. Don’t just look at the engine output. Sorento weight damn heavy about 2tons while CRV only 1.5 tons.

      • To be fair though, tht sorento diesel has massive amount of torque. It definitely pulls like crazy from a standstill. You need to test drive to believe. Might be even faster than advertised 9.2 sec.

        Stop looking at the stats.. can you feel 0.4s difference? It’s called power-to-weight or in this case, torque-to-weight ratio.

        0-100 is only applicable when full throttle. Not forget the extra 200nm is gonna pull down a tree. Too bad honda favours horsepower way more than torque. Peaky drive Only good for drag race but not for daily driving

    So the cost of adding honda sensing is about 12,000 ringgit (difference between 2wd hs turbo and 2wd turbo). So a 4wd honda sensing would cost anove 170k. I guess honda malaysia has a policy of keeping the price sub 170k.

  • I dont understand what the fuss is about the lack of a 7-seater option. The new gen CRV is designed for 5 seats, period. The extra row for +2 is useless and adds unnecessary weight and takes up storage volume. If you want 7-seats, feel free to shop for other brands or buy an MPV ! Stop bitching about the new CR-V being offered only with 5 seats.

    as you can see Honda is testing malaysian’s market response with this launch(yes, this launch is actually is Honda’s survey)

    coming face-lift will address 2 main issue: +2 seater and no more 80’s woodgrain interior, it will be faux aluminium(like Civic) and faux carbon(for premium & Type R)

  • Why need to choose 5 seater CRV where you have many options like HRV/CX5/Kia sportage/Tucson/WW tiguan/Subaru/Nissan xtrail/ 7 seater sorento and carnival.

    I think this 5 seater CRV will fail miserably as compared to 7 seaters BRV.

    A bigger car but provide 5 seater. what a stupid decision made.

    There are many people dislike BRV because interior is a bit cramp and hope for bigger 7 seaters CRV. but honda ‘s decision kill his own product.

    I predicted they will bring in the 7 seaters after 6 months from now when poor respond for this 5 seater CRV. haha

Chevy has a few in their lineup so why dont bring some to this part of the world (maybe not straight frm the US but perhaps manuf at their Thai factory?) is it simply because nil/low demand?

        Lol i, for one, will not buy an SUV, fullsize or compact. It’s pretentious and useless IMO but apart frm that, all SUVs hv a propensity to roll over due to the higher CoG. Hence how that MyVi could tip over a pajero. Simple physics at work. If i really need that 4wd functionality to go off-roading at my kampung’s jalan balak, i’d get a pickup.

    I live in Thailand and saw a few of these on road already. It’s a looks good on road especially at night with the led lights which xtrail and cx5 still with projector and even halogen reflector. Crv here doesn’t come with Honda sense even for TOP model. Honda even omitted vtec turbo and went with 2.4NA and 1.6 turbo diesel with 160ps/350Nm. Price start from 1.35 mil up to 1.6 mil baht which is even more expensive. Considering average income and gasoline price here, I don’t think it’s expensive for the equipment provided. Even 130k xtrail comes with only halogen reflector and two airbags. SUV this size are not designed for 7seats. People buy because it’s Confortable Roundabout Vehicle for comfort, not cramming 7 people. Of course people in this region only think of cramming as much people possible in a cheap car so we see many unhappy people complaining for 7 seats.

    Booked VW Tiguan at April 2017 and waited almost three months now. At the end told me the forecast delivery date on December 2017.
    Asked for drop out order, but the car no yet arrive also, fastest arrival on October (cancelled order who booked at March, before launch).
    No choice but to cancel my order and purchase Honda CRV, which is ready stock.
    Tiguan is slightly better in term of dynamic (handling is best in class and german engineering), good product but poor product planning, marketing and after sale service.
    I believe many people who booked the Tiguan will change to CRV now, good job VPCM, you guys have a good start but end up boost your competitors sale.

Their promises to deliver the car within 3months is just rubbish… tested both of the car (tiguan & new crv).. however if looking at the handling/comfort, i would go for tiguan, but overall package, CRV still the best choice i.e. long term durability, after sales service, safety features, car features etc… booked crv and currently awaiting the car to be delivered to me.after all, the overall package that matters. period.

    Just went for test drive.
    The drive is better than previous generation as it is more solid, smoother and stable over bump.
    1.5T is more powerful. Sound proof is better except that when it is pressed hard to accelerate, there can be some noise from CVT transmission. However, x-Trail CVT is more annoying with more noise. Anyway, CVT transmission is meant for smooth light driving.
    However, i am amazed that even for top spec TCP, there is no Garmin GPS!!!!! Honda has taken this out for this generation as it was found in top spec of the previous generation.

      RM20-30 sticker wrap at your own preference finish and color will do the trick.

      @Paul/Anthony, we all know the 4WD is essential for off-road terrain, improved confidence when doing cornering and high speed during the rain but all these are just general knowledge about 4WD/AWD. Can you do a comparison video how does 4WD of this CRV actually works in real life? Going up sandy or grassy slope, test on rollers how the power send to any individual wheels or real muddy terrain. Thanks.
