The Honda BR-V has finally bowed out of Malaysia. Having made its Malaysian debut back in January 2017, the BR-V was on sale here for 6 years and 3 months. After verifying a tip from a reader, we confirmed that the Honda BR-V is no longer listed on Honda Malaysia’s website. When the 7-seater B-segment SUV was on sale here, it was priced between RM 90,700 to RM 97,700.

Here’s a phrase you’ve probably read or heard of – nice to drive. Sounds pretty straightforward and yet if you delve into it a little deeper, some confusion may arise. For example, both the Mazda CX-8 and Volkswagen Tiguan Allspace R-Line are nice to drive, but both feel worlds apart in terms of driving experience.
