At the launch of the facelifted Honda Odyssey today, Honda Malaysia has announced that it will soon be introducing at least one other new model, with more details to be revealed later on. Although the company provided no clues as to the car’s identity, we can pretty much assume that it will be the facelifted HR-V.
Why do we say this? Because the revised B-segment crossover has recently been revealed in Japan, and the car has already been spotted undergoing testing right here in Malaysia. The HR-V has been very successful for Honda Malaysia – despite being exactly three years old today, it’s still the second most popular Honda here, so it would make sense to update it sooner rather than later.
Changes coming to the HR-V look to be relatively minor, with the front end adopting Honda’s latest corporate face. There’s now a thicker chrome bar for the grille – mirroring the look on the new Civic and Accord – while the upgraded headlight option is now full LED, including the high beam and indicators. The lower air intakes have also been made more aggressive, and feature optional LED fog lights.
Expect the 142 PS/172 Nm 1.8 litre i-VTEC engine and CVT to be retained, but there’s also the small possibility of the Hybrid model to be introduced, following in the footsteps of the City and Jazz Hybrid. Apart from the HR-V, the new tenth-generation Accord could also make its debut here in 2018, although if it does, it will likely only arrive towards the end of the year.

Hybrid HRV can be sold for RM80k with tax benefits given by gomen. But will MITI allow it?
If they do, who will buy Boyue?
What joke is this?
Jazz and City hybrid alredi selling at RM80k, so how can HRV hybrid sell at Rm80k too, abang ahbeng?
get Hyundai Ioniq. Best in class.
Ionic is diff segment. More of a new Insight fighter.
The only joke is that our cars are overpriced in Malaysia. HRV is Singapore only SGD65k.

CHRs at SGD130k, but since basher can sell it @SGD65k, demand that he sticks to his quoted price instead of official RRP.
Ha ha ha. That is CHR. This is HRV. The price I quoted is for Honda HRV
You understand English and spelling? Kantoi!
john oh john…. HRV is different from CHR
How do people get confused between HR-V and CH-R? Basher tak faham Inggeris?
See? Told you all. Is otak batu.
How do people get confused between SGD 108k and SGD 65k? Basher tak faham arithmetic kah?
81k then… Before discount
HRV 1.5L turbo
Has they fix the suspension kruk kruk defect? It is so common in HRV
Its synthesized Honda car sound effect, not defect.
Honda says the noise they gave is free. When its free, you cannot complaint.
I hope the rear tail lights will be revised. At least with the tube lights from the Vezel.
Maybe the new Accord, which has been launched quite sometime in overseas
Or the new Integra 2.0T SiR
I hope Honda Malaysia and gomen DRB bring in the HRV Hybrid. Then at least, we can benefit tax exemption given by gomen for EV cars.
Honda Malaysia aka DRB will be able to sell this car for RM80k. This will help the rakyat a lot.
Any reason why Honda Malaysia aka DRB does not want to bring the Hybrid?
So far gomen themselves said hybrid and EV cars selling so well in Msia
Belum facelift. Deswai hasnt come yet. When HRV facelift then see 6 months later.
Because there is no economy of scale.. many ppl are still skeptical about hybrid although it can get government incentive..
Mainly due to high depreciation, skeptical on battery life, cost of battery, too much electronics, no spare tyre and tyre repair kit cost rm200 each time you use it..
Only the rich can afford 330e and C-class hybrid.. Because BMW and Merc no resell value anyway..
Surprisingly the city n jazz hybrid are not selling like hot cakes. Doubt they will sell hrv hybrid.
Yes.. no one will buy city n jazz hybrid bcos this category of consumers are price sensitive on depreciation and they plan to use them for very long time without suffering from reliability issue.. in otherwords, they are not ultra rich category..
I am just wondering why putting a hybrid on B-segment cars which the original 1.5L vtec n cvt combo is already returning excellent fuel economy..
Hybrid should be deployed in heavier vehicles like CRV, Accord or Oddysey and these make a lot of sense as these category of cars are less fuel efficient than city and jazz, and the target consumers are slightly wealthy that able to overlook depreciation…
Unless honda introduce something like Kia Value 5 for its hybrid cars to safeguard resale value.
Honda stream successor??!!
Minor change but I doubt will arrive with the Honda Sensing suite due to cost.

Maybe 1.5L turbo replace the 1.8l NA better
Entire Myvi range comes with standard LED headlights, just like the entire CR-V range #justsaying #readbetweenthelineshondamgmt
Honda NSX
I’m not bothered about Hybrid cars. Too complicated and risky to own. Reselling a hybrid car later on could be a problem.
Give me a petrol engined HRV with more power and torque, Honda Sensing suite, Civic TCP LED headlights, 18” rims and those lovely tube LED lights from the Vezel. Oh yes, and rear air cond vents and please re-design those awful front passenger side air cond vents.
Could it be the new Honda Insight? I would be dreaming if its actually the S660 right?
Odyssey
HRV facelift
Civic facelift
Accord new model
@john agreed on the models, only that I think Accord will come before Civic because of Civic Type R.
Can it be a new Honda Freed?
