Honda HR-V News in Malaysia

Since its launch in October 2020, the Proton X50 has stood almost unchallenged, but this changed last month. While the Proton S70 is breaking into a territory dominated by the B-segment Honda City and Toyota Vios, the 'Malayan Tiger' marque risks losing ground in the higher-priced, more profitable SUV market.

Compared to Malaysians, Thais are more accepting of hybrid cars probably also due to the more expensive petrol prices over in the Kingdom. While Toyota might be the brand that many around the world see as the pioneer of hybrid vehicles, Honda is the most preferred brand for Thais when it comes to getting one.
