For those who are not in the know, the Honda Jazz, City, BR-V and HR-V will no longer be available in Taffeta White. Instead, they will be offered with the more premium Orchid White Pearl shade – the pearlescent paint was previously offered for the more expensive Civic FC, Accord and CR-V models.
According to Honda Malaysia, the decision to introduce White Orchid Pearl for more Honda models is based on previous customer reception. About 38% of Civic and 33% of Accord customers opted for the premium colour, as well as 26% of CR-V buyers.
With this move, nearly the entire model line-up offered by Honda Malaysia can now be ordered in White Orchid Pearl. The new colour has a pearl effect with a slightly yellow-ish tint compared to more solid-looking Tafetta White. However, keep in mind that there is a surcharge if you want the premium colour.
For the non-hybrid Jazz and City (their respective hybrid counterparts both get the pearl paint since they were launched), it costs an additional RM120, but the bigger-bodied BR-V and HR-V (including the Mugen) costs an additional RM300.
Again, the White Orchid Pearl will completely replace the older Taffeta White paint, so if you insist on getting a brand new Honda car in white, this is your only option, albeit at a slight premium. So, what do you think of this move, guys? Share with us your thoughts below.

No wonder Proton only sold less than 4000 units for past 2 months consecutively..
If Proton cannot even sell their own Malaysian made Proton cars, I really don’t know how they going to sell China made Boyue. This is because, Malaysians have more confidence in Made in Malaysia products like Proton
Once bitten, twice shy former Proton buyers.
I Like your SARCASM.
Mazda Soul Red Crystal has a four-stage refinishing process and beautifully highlight the exquisite transitions in the Mazda car body’s surfaces.
Mazda build quality… Amazing
Toyota USA: “Wanna get a gud Toyota? Get a Mazda”
Wrong. That’s just a glorified Mazda. A good Toyota is actually a Lexus. Any Lexus.
Slight yellow alredi from factory. Later pipu think the white is fading & yellowing alredi. facepalm
which one need to replace airbags?
Pearl white is so much more easier to maintain.. worth every sen when u pay RM120 or RM300.
Having said that, it’s much better if Honda can continue keeping the solid white as an option.
Still not as easy as other color options. End of the day any form of white will give you zebra lines with our crappy weather.
Nissan white oso got pearl effect… due to premature yellowing.
proton white also got la..u dont say
P1 white age after 5 years. Nissan white age after 5 months. U say leh?
Nice of Honda to also consider adding some premium feel to their lesser models.
Call it with whatever fancy name. White is still white.
U are half Right here. There are many shades of White, Blue, Green & Grey hence they name it differently.
New Honda City – air bag inflator replced!
Honda Type R NH-0 championship white still the best :)
Where is your HRV Facelift?
if you buy white cars, it’s best to do coating to preserve the colour and prevent yellowing.
Big H,Considered a Luxury Automotive Brand in Malaysia but with very poor built quality inside out. This colour is very difficult to maintain. Better stick with modern steel metallic aka dark grey.
What to do. White is the in colour for the past 10 years. Customers want goreng pisang, we give them goreng pisang.
Nobody buys these cars because of passion or the joy of driving. It does not bring a smile to their faces. Hence spending more for a different white colour may not make any difference.
