Honda HR-V achieves almost 7,000 deliveries since launch; close to 30,000 bookings – Honda Malaysia

The 2022 Honda HR-V has racked up nearly 7,000 deliveries as of today since its launch in Malaysia, which is equivalent to four months’ sales volume achieved in a period of just over two months, said Honda Malaysia CEO Hironobu Yoshimura.

Additionally, Honda Malaysia has accrued close to 30,000 bookings for the brand’s B-segment SUV as of September 26, and the distribution of volume by variant is 18% for the base S variant, 18% for the Turbo E, 52% for the Turbo V and 12% for the range-topping RS e:HEV.

At launch, pricing for the HR-V starts from RM114,800 for the S, on to RM129,800 for the Turbo E, through RM134,800 for the Turbo V, topping out at RM140,800 for the RS e:HEV; prices are OTR excluding insurance, with sales tax. On this evidence, buyers have favoured turbo power over top variant specification (RS e:HEV) and outright affordability (S).

The top RS variant with the e:HEV hybrid powertrain accounted for just 12% of deliveries

The base S variant gets the 1.5L i-VTEC naturally aspirated DOHC engine producing 121 PS and 145 Nm of torque, while the E and V variants are powered by the 1.5L VTEC Turbo engine that outputs 181 PS and 240 Nm of torque; both the NA and turbocharged engines are paired with a CVT.

Meanwhile, the HR-V RS is the only variant to get the e:HEV hybrid powertrain, with 131 PS and 253 Nm on tap and the Atkinson-cycle petrol engine produces 107 PS and 131 Nm and serves as a generator. As with all models offered by Honda Malaysia, the 2022 HR-V is locally assembled in Pegoh, Melaka.

      Boleh kalahkan Alza sales wei!
      So how is that the “Best car under Rm 100k, full stop”? More like “Best car under RM 100k… until HRV arrival”.

        Don’t forget even the V spec doesn’t have power boot.

        But the absence of the blind spot monitor for that steep price is an absolute deal breaker.

      Agreed but recently not as solid as before dy. Look at vios 1st and 2nd gen, still solid better than P current model. But as the technology and feature getting more advancing, it tends to make the car more complicated and more problematic..Turbo, cvt, adas, sensing, lane assists…etc. Cars model 10 years ago without those “useful” feature actually easier for maintenance.

    30k units booked?
    You people really believe this?

    All I know is there are people which book many units to make profit later selling to urgent buyers.
    This is because those who can afford to buy an HRV will afford to pay a little extra to skip the que for a new car.
    Even the dealers have put in additional bookings to ensure stock availability for their clients.
    No stock means no sales means no income.

    You’ll know later if you see very low mileage or registered new units of the HRV being sold in the market.

    I think it’s pretty evident the public is not too keen on on embracing the hybrid. Same goes for the Cross whereby I see more V spec than the Hybrid otr. How about BEV? Nah that’s still a rich man’s toy. As long as our fuel is subsidized, people will continue to buy ICE vehicles.
