Honda Japan has just opened pre-orders for the 2024 Honda WR-V. Despite sharing the same "Winsome Runabout Vehicle" acronym as the one currently on sale in Malaysia, it is an entirely different model. Fully imported from India where the JDM WR-V is sold as the Honda Elevate, it is a blocky-looking SUV that makes our WR-V appear cute by comparison. However, Honda Access is offering accessories to spruce up the Japanese WR-V’s look. Called the “Tough Style” package, its centrepiece is the front gr

To say the 2023 Honda WR-V is making waves in Malaysia is hardly inaccurate; over 2,200 of the dainty SUV has found new homes within the first month of sales.

After much anticipation, Honda Malaysia has launched the smallest SUV to wear the H badge in the country.

Yet, the 5-seater SUV sibling to the second-generation Honda BR-V (which will not be coming to Malaysia) has a large boot space. At 380 litres, it’s 11 litres more than the Ativa and 50 litres more than the X50. Even with the rear seats up, the “Winsome Runabout Vehicle” h

Today, the Perodua Ativa is no longer the only SUV of its class in Malaysia as Honda Malaysia has launched the 2023 Honda WR-V. Locally assembled (CKD) in Melaka, the HR-V is offered here in 4 variants. All 4 variants are powered by a naturally-aspirated 1.5-litre i-VTEC DOHC engine that makes 121 PS and 145 Nm. Power is sent to the front wheels (FWD) via a CVT-automatic transmission while stopping power is provided with front disc brakes and rear drums on all variants. Without further ado, here

The Honda WR-V, the rival to the Toyota Raize/Daihatsu Rocky twins, is ready for the export market and will make it to a couple of ASEAN markets as its first stop, reports our sister site in Indonesia Autofun.co.id.
