Last month, Honda Malaysia (HM) rolled out the Honda HR-V 1.8L SE, a new variant that sits between the entry E and the mid V. The top 1.8L variant is the RS, and there’s also the Hybrid. The SE is based on the E, but adds on driver assist kit and accessories – here’s a live gallery.
SE might as well be Safety Edition, as the new variant adds on blind spot information, lane change assist and rear cross traffic alert. By the way, these are new to the HR-V here, and Honda LaneWatch is available from the V onwards.
Note that the BLIS here is an add-on system with warning lights located on the inside A pillars. Not as elegant as the usual integrated door mirror light perhaps, but it’s better than nothing and serves its purpose. Also on are a door opening warning indicator, a digital video recorder a.k.a. dashcam, and a trunk tray plus trunk organiser. There’s also SE rear badging to denote the new variant.
No changes to the rest of the kit list, which includes smart entry/push button start, automatic air-conditioning, auto headlights, cruise control, paddle shifters, electronic parking brake with auto hold, steering wheel audio controls and a seven-inch display/four-speaker audio system. Safety wise, it’s six airbags, VSA, hill start assist, emergency stop signal and a multi-angle rearview camera. The wheels are 17-inch two-tone items.
Likewise, it’s familiar under the hood. The non-hybrid HR-V is powered by a 1.8 litre engine with 142 PS at 6,500 rpm and 172 Nm of torque at 4,300 rpm. The SOHC i-VTEC engine is mated to a CVT gearbox.
HM says that the Honda HR-V 1.8L SE is a limited run variant. It goes for RM105,364 on-the-road without insurance, including the current SST exemption. That’s just RM1,364 more than the Grade E (RM104,000), and the SE looks like good value next to the base car. The V is yours for RM113,421 while the sporty RS is pegged at RM118,581.

This model is already obsolete. Still flogging a dead horse.
When is the new model coming?
Honda Malaysia, just launch the new HRV already. I will place my booking. Otherwise, I will have to convince my wife to reconsider Corolla Cross instead. Even though she prefers the new HRV.
Best value u can get for a car. the value for money is unbeatable.
No AEB
Honda’s models are all over the place, some with Sensing, some without, some with this sort of BLIS, some with LaneWatch but no Sensing. C’mon.
Flogging a dead horse. But it means the new model is coming very soon, around 3 to 6 months time.
No AEB?
The BLIS system looks very aftermarket and tacked on. It doesn’t look like it will last the life of the car. Looking at cheaper Honda models, the external sensors never last long. Just look at the previous-gen Honda City’s reverse sensors, some came with 4 sensors some only 2… And either way both types fail prematurely as soon as they hit the 5-year-old mark, just in time when you finish your car loan.
If its stock clearance, they should’ve pushed the price down to RM90k++ la a bit. Its end of the year summore
Makes more sense buy this HRV than Honda City V with sensing – RM90k
SE for Safety Edition, all the other aren’t safety la? Dayum… The previous owners be like…
Clear old stock. New one coming next year !! Much better. Slash the price by 30k and I’ll consider this old unit
