With a weakening Ringgit, it’s inevitable that prices of things will increase, and new cars are no exception. In January, Honda Malaysia said that it was not increasing prices at the start of the year, despite ‘challenging’ conditions. Seven months in, it looks like the company has finally decided that the inevitable can’t be staved off any longer.
If you’re in the market for a new Honda HR-V, here’s an update on the price you will have to pay for one from tomorrow, July 5. Price lists for the SUV leaked via a social media post earlier this evening highlight a slight price increase for the model, consistent across the entire range. Launched in July last year, there are four variants – with three powertrains – on sale here.
First up, the base 1.5L S, which is powered by a 1.5L naturally-aspirated engine. It’s now priced at RM115,900, up by RM1,100 from the RM114,800 it was at when was introduced last year. The RM1,100 increase is also found on all subsequent models higher up the line.
As such, the 1.5L Turbo E now retails for RM130,900 (previously, RM129,800), while the 1.5 Turbo V goes for RM135,900 (previously, RM134,800). Meanwhile, the range-topping e:HEV RS hybrid is now priced at RM141,900 (previously, RM140,800). All prices are on-the-road, excluding insurance, and these are for the standard exterior colours. If you want the car in Premium White Pearl, it’s an additional RM600, applicable across all variants.
No mechanical changes, or any revisions anywhere else (features, kit) for that matter. Powertrain-wise, the S features a 1.5 litre naturally-aspirated DOHC i-VTEC four-cylinder as seen on the City, and this offers 121 PS and 145 Nm of torque at 4,300 rpm. The E and V grades are powered by a 1.5 litre VTEC Turbo engine rated at 181 PS and 240 Nm of torque made between 1,700 and 4,500 rpm.
As for the RS, its e:HEV hybrid powertrain consists of a 107 PS and 131 Nm 1.5 litre naturally-aspirated Atkinson-cycle petrol engine. The mill acts as a generator, but can drive the car directly at higher speeds, for a front electric drive motor, which outputs 131 PS and 253 Nm.
To recap, these are the new prices of the Honda HR-V, effective July 5, 2023:
- HR-V 1.5L S – RM115,900
- HR-V 1.5T E – RM130,900
- HR-V 1.5T V – RM135,900
- HR-V 1.5L e:HEV RS – RM141,900

Also, I realized I have no idea why PN cybertroopers here seems like now talking here but nonsense facts as if PN cybertroopers are jealous on PHBN government and also based on this, it is based on MYR currency

Bermaksud PH sejak u cakap Maidani sebagai username, bukan Perikatan National sebagai Belakang Masuk (Sheraton Move). Bagus bro!
Useless government comes from stud*p voters. Ringgit was so low, everything must goes up.
JHO Low Deputy PM
boikot greedy honda with their subpar products
Salahkan honda kenapa???? salahkan la raja formula menteri ekonomi & menteri kewangan terbaik asia kononnya tu…
Yalah… ringgit drop like stone. Semua naik gaji saje tak naik. Syukur lah kita de Axia E turun harga.
Better than PN where PN makes people more suffering causes MYR currency weaken a lot, making cost of living even higher, emergency declaration but making cases more higher and also higher cases of corruption than BN/PH
Jadi, apakah formula saudara Ismail Ras yg sgt mujarab utk ekonomi negara?
Make me the PM then I tell you lah.
This is paultan.org, not istananegara.gov.my lah
What has the govt got to do with Honda quality?
I noticed some people only know things in that context, their brain cells canot comprehend any other context or understanding.. That mind set of the whole universe revolves around BN/PN/PH/M/C and thats it… No other categories..
Cybertroopers.. They’re everywhere.. Even automotive portals like paultan.org are not spared..
Cause PN Cybertroopers are always too jealous when seeing now things better, so come here and talk nonsense but no facts
Why japanese cars price increased? JPY yen is weaker than MYR ringgit ongoing many moons….
Japanese buys raw material from overseas . Weak yen vs strong US . Think about it
Simple… Not everything in the production of the car comes from Japan. Even the parts coming from Japan are not all made in Japan.
cos this hrv is mostly made using THB
It’s all due to overvalued USD.
Asean never trades using own currency among themselves.
1100? Hahahahha got effect ah?
What if I tell you this is just the first of many?
Increase 1k every few months you no tak rasa right?
Very soon we can just use our worthless Shrink-git notes to wipe our asses too…
You will still be able to use those notes to get a Axia E.
Axia E drop 2k for a RM20k car.
This one increase 1k for a RM100k car.
which is significant?
So wat hapen if afew mths down the road the ringgit strengthen back, wil Honda Msia reduce back their price. Well I dun think so bcos once they increased the price, it won’t come down again. Won’t b surprise other brand wil jack up their price also.
u must be dreaming. eventually iby year 2030 USD will be 5.0 , SGD 4.0
This full of plastic junk still hv a demand because of mentality of noob bolehland buyers. Boycott this shet and price will go down or close Honda forever. If noob boleh land ppl stop buying new cars and stick 2 used cars, this car manufacturers will learn the lesson.
Mana Raja FORMULA dan menteri kewangan terbaik asia ni. APA SUDAH JADI. Semua naik sekarang ni. Apa maciam janji2 kosong semasa pemBANGKANG dulu…#HANCING
Better than PN that makes causes MYR currency weaken a lot, making cost of living even higher, emergency declaration but making cases more higher and also higher cases of corruption than BN/PH

Honda Malaysia increase the price for HR-V so that the lowest variant S is more expensive and will not be so close to the highest variant of the WR-V which Honda going to launched which will be at RM111k for the highest variant.
I cannot think of a better reason. Also, the highest variant of HR-V e:HEV RS at RM142k is not a problem for the new CRV which will start at RM160k onwards.
Too expensive. X50 a better buy.
