The sixth-generation Honda CR-V has been launched in Malaysia and is being offered in a choice of four variants, three of which are powered by a 1.5 litre turbocharged inline-four petrol engine. The turbo trio starts from RM159,900 on-the-road without insurance and includes the S, E and V AWD, while pricing for the sole hybrid variant (2.0L e:HEV RS) will only be announced next year.
Prior to the CR-V’s launch, Honda Malaysia began taking orders for the SUV in November this year, and the company announced today that it has managed to collect over 2,000 bookings in the one month since then. It added that the waiting period for the locally-assembled (CKD) model currently stands at between two to three months.
The company also pointed out that it expects deliveries to amount to 1,000 units per month, with the V AWD being the most popular among customers at 40% of total booking received so far. For reference, the V AWD retails at RM181,900, making it RM12,000 more expensive than the mid-range E that goes for RM169,900, and RM22,000 more than the base S which sells for RM159,900.
Meanwhile, the e:HEV RS that has yet to get an official price is the second-most popular CR-V variant at 28% of total bookings, followed very closely by the E with 27%. The entry-level S made up just 5% of bookings received – it is being offered at special introductory price of RM157,900 for the first 750 units to celebrate 20 years of CKD production of the SUV in Malaysia.

As someone once said- “1month waiting list means tak laku la”.
Why no sunroof or moonroof? Or at least digital meter cluster?
Y u need sunroof?..malaysia not hot enough?
Y u need moonroof..you look up when driving?
Is it just me that I find all these black side mirror covers really fugly? Obvious cost cutting measure to stock parts in a single colour. Reminds me of kosong spec kancil viva myvi saga, looks CHEAP.
Booking is one thing, how many could secure bank loan is another .
hype onli like the wr-v ugly looking barely on d road
Just one question, is it worth to consider ICE car at this age and time? I am in the dilemma to choose between EV and hybrid…haiz
Same here, not sure to go ICE or EV or hybrid direction. Not many choices anyway, been considering this, the Harrier and iX1. Any suggestions. Splurge on ICE Harrier, or get a budget luxury iX1 or be safe and get the affordable CR-V?
US patrern going down, suggested people realised flexibility of EV less than ICE. Other country will see same pattern. To avoid that, EV sponsor stop oil activist to push back ev buying.
EHEV 28% bookings, 200k could afford, then no need fuel subsidy also no problem. So happy happy pay more for fuel , love Madani Gomen .
Waiting three months due to the unavailability of spare parts.
