Honda has officially revealed the prices and specifications for the upcoming 2023 Honda WR-V in Japan, prior to its proper launch there on 22-March 2024. Prices of the JP-spec WR-V As expected and most importantly, the WR-V will be available in three variants, as below: WR-V X: JPY 2,098,000 (~RM 68k) WR-V Z: JPY 2,349,600 (~RM 74k) WR-V Z+: JPY 2,489,300 (~RM 81k) This is quite a fair bit cheaper than the slightly more upmarket Honda Vezel (HR-V for us), which goes from JPY 2,399,100 (~RM 78k)

At long last, the highly anticipated Honda WR-V has officially been launched. The entry-level SUV will now take its place just under the Honda HR-V and is offered in Malaysia in four variants starting from RM 89,900.

It’s very well documented too; executives will testify these flash meetings formed the backbone of their innovations and success. Certainly lots of that was happening among customers last week, as the 2023 Honda WR-V kicked off its pre-launch nationwide pre

As the SUV market expands, it’s not surprising to see many carmakers trying to appeal to a more urban crowd with smaller models that suit their active lifestyle. Honda is one of them and the Honda SUV RS Concept previews its latest addition to its SUV line-up.
