The Honda WR-V enters 2026 as the DG4 facelift, launched in Malaysia with three petrol variants: E, V and RS. Its headline additions are a 10-inch head unit, 360-degree camera and wireless charger. Every version uses the same 1,498 cc 119 hp petrol engine, front-wheel drive, CVT automatic transmission and five-seat cabin.

Which variant to buy
Start with the E at RM94,900. It has the same mechanical layout and seating capacity as the V at RM98,900 and RS at RM104,900. That makes the E the rational default on the published specification. The RM4,000 step to V and RM10,000 step to RS are trim decisions, not powertrain upgrades; pay more only after checking that each grade’s equipment justifies the outlay.

Honda WR-V buyer's guides & reviews
Verdict
The WR-V is Honda’s entry-level B-segment SUV, and the facelift brings useful cabin-tech additions: a 10-inch head unit, 360-degree camera and wireless charger. Its 119 hp petrol-CVT, front-wheel-drive setup is the same throughout the range. Pricing is plainly above the Ativa, QV-E, Aruz and Proton X50; it starts RM100 below the Seres 3 and RM5,000 below the Yaris Cross.
