2023 Honda WR-V launched in Malaysia – 1.5L NA, 121 PS/145 Nm, four variants, from RM90k to RM108k

Honda Malaysia has officially launched the 2023 Honda WR-V, with the A-segment/small B-segment SUV making its debut earlier today, four months after it was indicated for our market. As correctly suggested from the information gleaned during the local preview for the car held last month, the Winsome Runabout Vehicle, to give it its full name, goes on sale here in four variant forms, mimicking the City sedan/hatchback line-up.

First up, let’s get to the variant grades and pricing. The WR-V range in Malaysia starts with the base 1.5L S, which dips in under the RM90k-mark at RM89,900. Next, there’s the 1.5L E, which goes for RM95,900. The highest-spec standard variant is the 1.5L V, and that goes for RM99,900.

Finally, there’s the range-topping 1.5L RS, the variant at the heart of all communications regarding the car so far, from the preview test drive in Thailand to the closed-door public previews and ads for it. It rolls in at RM107,900, which is just RM8,000 away from the base S variant of the larger HR-V, now priced at RM115,900 following a recent price revision. All prices are on-the-road, without insurance.

As it is in Indonesia and Thailand, all the Malaysian WR-V variants are powered by a L15ZF 1.5 litre naturally-aspirated DOHC i-VTEC engine offering 121 PS at 6,600 rpm and a maximum torque of 145 Nm at 4,300 rpm. The mill is the same unit as found in the City and entry-level HR-V Grade S, and like in those applications, is paired with a CVT.

Size-wise, the WR-V is a direct competitor to the Perodua Ativa. The WR-V measures in at 4,060 mm long, 1,780 mm wide and 1,608 mm tall (1,576 mm for the S), with a 2,485 mm-long wheelbase.

In comparison, the Ativa is 4,065 mm long, 1,710 mm wide and 1,635 mm tall, and has a 2,525 mm-long wheelbase, making it five mm longer, 27 mm taller and 40 mm longer in terms of wheelbase, but 70 mm narrower than the WR-V. As for ground clearance, the WR-V’s 207 mm is slightly ahead of the Ativa’s 200 mm.

As mentioned in our test drive review, despite the similarity in size, the WR-V feels a bit more compact of the two visually, but its lines make it the more vibrant looking of the duo and sportier, in the case of the RS. With a chrome chequered front grille and two-tone 17-inch wheels, it does have a taut, bold look about it.

However, the Malaysian-specification RS omits the one visual feature that would have completed things, and that’s the black roof (as seen on the Thai RS) to present it in a two-tone exterior colour scheme. As confirmed from the preview, there’s no black roof for Malaysia, and neither is there an add-on option for it, so if you’re looking to dress the variant up as such, it’ll have to be done via an externally-sourced route.

The Malaysian WR-V also omits the faux roof rails as seen on the Thai example – made of plastic, they’re decorative rather than functional anyway, so expect to find something along those lines via the aftermarket route. The one mechanical difference in the Malaysian car is the inclusion of a height adjustment switch for the headlights, part of the UNECE regulations requirement as specified by Malaysia.

Inside, you’ll find a dashboard that mimics the ones on the second-gen Amaze and second-gen BR-V, which it takes over from in the local model line-up. This brings along traditional elements such as an analogue instrument cluster (with a MID display, or a 4.2-inch TFT screen in higher variants) and a gearshift assembly carried over from the BR-V to a mechanical handbrake. Aside from the cosmetic considerations, everything works well to sight and touch.

Elsewhere, the WR-V offers 380 litres of boot space, which is 11 litres more than the Ativa, although this won’t really be discernible in actual use. However, there’s no tonneau cover or even provision for one (there are no mounting cutouts in the rear plastic trim for this) on the WR-V, so buyers will have to consider how they want to go about maintaining boot space privacy, with darker window tint likely the easiest solution.

As for standard equipment, the WR-V comes with a seven-inch Digital Audio touchscreen with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto compatibility fitted across all variants. Also found on all variants is the automaker’s LaneWatch side camera system, two front USB ports, a multi-angle reverse camera, power retractable door mirrors and two rear parking sensors.

Variant-wise, the base Grade S effectively mirrors the Indonesian base E in terms of general specifications. It gets halogen headlamps (without auto feature), black fabric seats, digital air-conditioning and a MID instrument display, while the steering wheel is a urethane unit.

As for the audio system, the S gets a basic two speaker layout, and it is dressed with 16-inch five-spoke silver alloys and 215/60 Goodyear EfficientGrip Performance tyres. The S also comes with a micro pole antenna, the only variant to feature this.

Moving on to the E adds on auto headlights and a shark fin antenna, while interior additions include remote engine start, walk-away auto lock, cruise control and a 4.2-inch TFT coloured multi-info display for the instrument cluster. The E also gets two extra speakers to bring the driver array to four.

Heading into the V adds on exterior kit in the form of LED headlights, LED daytime running lights, LED front fog lamps and LED front turn indicators. Inside, the variant ups the trim with the introduction of a leather-wrapped steering wheel and a switch to leather/fabric combination upholstery with blue contrast stitching. Also finding its way on is a single-zone automatic climate control system and a rear centre armrest.

Finally, the range-topping RS adds on exterior kit such as a variant-specific chrome chequered grille and larger 17-inch two-tone alloy wheels, which are shod with 215/55 Continental UC6 tyres. Inside, the variant features red accent trim and red contrast stitching on the leather/fabric combi seats and steering wheel. Incidentally, the RS is the only variant to feature a black headliner, with that on the S, E and V being finished in grey.

Other items include LED sequential turn signals, paddle shifters, alloy pedals, red needles for the speedometer/tachometer (white on the other variants) and two further speakers to make for a six-speaker audio set-up. The RS is also the only variant to come equipped with the Honda Connect telematics system.

In terms of safety, the WR-V comes with four airbags (front and side) as standard across all variants (except the RS, which gets six airbags), rear ISOFIX child seat anchors, vehicle stability control,
ABS with EBD and brake assist and hill start assist as standard. That’s for the base S.

From the E onwards, you’ll find the Honda Sensing ADAS package, which contains lead car departure notification (LCDN), adaptive cruise control (ACC), collision mitigation braking system (CMBS or AEB), forward collision warning (FCW), lane keep assist system (LKAS), road departure mitigation (RDM), lane departure warning (LDW) and auto high beam (AHB).

Missing from the Sensing suite on the WR-V is the low-speed follow function, and this can be put down to the mechanical handbrake utilised on the car.

    How come this piece of junk selling higher than Perodua Ativa? The interior so outdated but the asking price so high. Really not worth, didn’t even have BSM like Ativa. Confirm targeting the Honda Fanboys. No wonder HR-V got price increase. To make this piece of junk looks cheaper I assume Even the Toyota Veloz bigger than this is only starting from RM95k.

        “Indonesian design” maybe better than India. But it always specced worse than “Malaysian design”, if you want to call it that. Even our Myvi were down-specced in Indo. MY car has always specced similar to Thai & SG. Comparing this to the Honda City, it’s worse specced at a higher price than the City. That 2500 booked really stooped so low.

  • I think we need a new differentiator between this and HR-V because even though they’re both “B-segment” judging by wheelbase, they’re sized very differently internally.

      both are overpriced. Even Cherry try their luck with Omoda 5. Expect it to be sub 100k for lower spec model. Blame it on Ploton – they set the price high with X50 and Malaysian equally blamed for buying it. MALAYSIAN SHOULD LEARN HOW TO BOYCOTT OVERPRICED PRODUCTS. Karipap mahal pun beli. Blame it on inflation la Covid la. Serving the interest of the Greed.

        x50 price high? omg..with the tech, space,& performance, its a bargain. I hv T, H,V, P1 cars, still find x50 one of the best, but started to look abit boring , maybe a facelift can help if u said abt x90, then i agreed.

    • Indonesia imports the City from Thailand while they locally assemble the WR-V, that’s why the City is more expensive than the WR-V.

      Meanwhile Thailand is the other way around, locally assemble the City while importing the WR-V from Indonesia, end up WR-V being more expensive than the City.

      Currently Malaysia is the only one to locally assemble both models, yet the WR-V still end up being more expensive than the City.

      Vios buyer will be Vios buyer. Toyota owners usually have made up their mind to be more conservative and won’t change their mind suddenly and switch to Honda.
      WRV is more on cannibalizing their own City and HRV sales.

        I disagree. Used to T but chg to H. T win in comfort, nvh. H win in performance & handling. Anyway i prefer the later, as Nvh can be improved by diy cheaply. But i still think Wrv is overpriced small suv!

    LOL, and I thought the Daihatsu Vios (refuse to call it a Toyota) was overpriced. I was actually considering waiting for this WR-V to replace my mother’s car. Glad I didn’t wait and went for the Cross Hybrid instead. This kind of interior coupled with CKD Honda typical lack of noise insulation simply cannot demand more money than a City.

    The top spec is RM 108k and it still use the mighty handbrake? At this price Veloz is a better buy with 7 seater which have better features in many aspect except the WRV has higher engine output. Other option will be Omoda 5 which is turbo charged. This WRV is reserved for Honda fan boy seriously.
