Honda Thailand has revealed official pricing for the second-generation BR-V, which is lower than initial estimates. The range is comprised of just two variants, including the base E and range-topping EL, where the former is priced at 915,000 baht (RM114,575) and the latter at 973,000 baht (RM121,861).
Both the E and EL powered by a 1.5 litre naturally-aspirated DOHC i-VTEC four-cylinder petrol unit that outputs 121 PS at 6,600 rpm and 145 Nm of torque at 4,300, with drive being sent to the front wheels via a CVT.
First previewed by the N7X Concept, the all-new BR-V measures 4,490 mm long, 1,780 mm wide, 1,685 mm tall and has a wheelbase that spans 2,695 mm. By comparison, the original BR-V we currently have here is 4,457 mm long, 1,735 mm wide, 1,677 mm tall and its wheelbase only stretches to 2,662 mm.
In terms of equipment, the E comes with 16-inch wheels (with 215/60 profile tyres), electric power steering, ventilated front disc brakes and rear drum brakes, automatic LED headlamps, LED DRLs, chrome outer door handles as well as electrically-adjustable side mirrors with integrated turn signals.
Moving inside, the base variant is equipped with a 4.2-inch multi-info instrument cluster display, two-tone (Black and Mocha Grey) combination leather upholstery, automatic air-conditioning (with rear ceiling vents), keyless entry and start (with Honda Smart Key and remote engine start), a seven-inch Display Audio touchscreen (with Android Auto and Apple CarPlay), a multi-function leather steering wheel and four speakers.
For the extra paid for the EL, the kit list includes nicer items like larger 17-inch wheels (with 215/55 profile tyres), a piano black front grille, LED front fog lamps, auto-folding side mirrors, paddle shifters, all-black combination leather upholstery, two more speakers for a total of six as well as additional convenience features (illuminated vanity mirrors, more power accessory outlets and front seatback pockets).
It should be noted that the asking prices of the all-new model are higher than the first-generation model sold in Thailand, which was also offered in two variants priced between 765,000 and 835,000 baht (RM95,809 and RM104,576).
This can be justified by not just the larger vehicle size, but also the inclusion of the Honda Sensing suite of safety and driver assistance systems, which is standard on both variants. The suite includes Collision Mitigation Braking System (CMBS), Lane Keeping Assist System (LKAS), Road Departure Mitigation System with Lane Departure Warning (RDM with LDW), Auto High-Beam (AHB), Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) And Lead Car Departure Notification System (LCDN).
Also included are Honda LaneWatch, an all-seat seatbelt reminder system, a rearview camera and the usual array of passive systems (VSA, ABS, EBD, brake assist, hill start assist, walk away auto lock). One area of difference is the airbag count, with the E receiving four while the EL gets six.
As for colours, Taffeta White is exclusive to the base E, with Crystal Black Pearl being a 6,000-baht (RM752) option. Meanwhile, the EL’s starting price is with a Crystal Black Pearl finish, but if you want the variant-exclusive Premium Sunlight White Pearl, it’ll be an extra 4,000 baht (RM501).
The BR-V is widely tipped to be the next model that Honda Malaysia launches here, and given the price increase from the first- to the second-gen in Thailand, it’s not far-fetched to assume the same will happen here. Currently, the first-gen BR-V facelift is priced at RM90,700 OTR without insurance for the base E and RM97,700 for the top-spec V.
When and if it arrives here, the BR-V will face competition from other seven-seat MPVs like the Toyota Veloz, which has yet to get final pricing (RM95,000 estimated), as well as the Perodua Alza if we widen the price bracket. Looking forward to it?

Looking to sell your car? Sell it with Carro.
reach here will be higher. Now, all these low price budget cars, after give you all the gadget without improving much on the most important parts NVH, selling at sky price here. Chain reactio all the cars class above will be increased but income never followed. Government only force employers to raise minimum salary to help those B40 but never take care of others!
Honda Malaysia..if u launch at 115-120K,u r pricing yourself away from the competition.
Only the hardcore,diehard” must have a Honda “fan ..will buy.
Can all the Paultan fans share with us ,at say 120 grand..what r the alternatives out there?
Besides new cars from the competition,one can also consider Toyota recon suv or mpvs.Mind u ,some of them can be your dream vehicle after a good car spa treatment.
In life,always look for good alternatives n do due diligence to spend covidian era sweat ringgit.
I noticed that Thailand car is selling higher than Malaysia car price now. This BRV is an entry level car by Honda. It will sell at least 15k lower than the current 2022 HRV.
Thailand no `Plotong Plotection`,
But why this BR-V getting overpriced.?
coz it not include under 1200 cc lower tax
Import tax maybe?
Very impractical pricing
No turbo nothing special
With cheapo Brio interior
Better top-up for HRV 1.5t
Nah. Better buy others. Both are out. Honda aftersales and quality is already bad enough too
Ya, where’s 1.5turbo? eHev?
Man people are really stupid sometimes. Family of 5 then ask to buy HRV? What an idiot. Know the target market la bodoh.
Looks good. Perhaps 1.5 NA is abit demotivating to the buyers. 7 seaters, 1.5 NA is really not ideal for long journey.
Sudahlah malaysia Bukit bukau, naik turun… Cina cakap naik bukit tak de power, turun bukit tak de brek…LOL.
Everyday naik bukit ke? Better buy Diesel hailak 400-500Nm.
Use normal car the vtec and Honda cvt will get reduced lifespan, and excessively makan minyak.
Diesel will give u more fuel cost saving, durability for naik bukit frequently.
In East Msia, still got jalan bukit bukau but then again ppl prefer hailak pickup here.
I prefer to have better NVH n minimum 4 airbags
The quite big price hike is also because that the current BR-V is now built in Indonesia, where as the previous 1st gen model was built in Thailand, leading to incentives for locally-produced cars.
Interior looks outdated while exterior looks ugly and plain. Boring!
OK, I get it that existing owners want to upgrade to a larger, newer model of their vehicle. But for once, how about a similar sized but sleeker version and/or more space efficient newer model?
so this is honda city mpv? people gonna bash because still no bsm. looks bigger than alza and got acc. if bsm not an issue for you, than this is a good buy.
LOL Fully expecting P2 fanbois to crap here in 3.. 2.. 1
Then how come honda trolls always like to troll other brands including perodua
Why is gonna care so much about this, when honda aftersales and quality gives me big pain. This car also brand new but looks dated design including inside too
Looks cheapo
Borned from the indonesian Brio Hatchback,

Proton Saga Grade MPV.
nampak mcm SUV
Honda trolls are coming to defend this ugly car
That gear lever design :(
Till today Honda still don’t believe in 360 degree camera both side BSM and rear cross traffic alert so let’s see
Horrible car prices in Bangkok same goes with food and houses
Should put in 1.5 hybrid.
Otherwise, no improvement in fuel saving with the old generation vtec and cvt.
Expensive but still use handbrake.Alza already use electronic brake
Still old interior design compare to new alza/veloz.
why no low speed follow?
No low speed follow? Bye………
Useless car handling worst than sampan.
