Honda Malaysia revealed that over 7,300 bookings have been received and more than 3,300 units have been delivered since launch. While the WR-V made its world debut in Indonesia which also serves as the smallest Honda SUV’s production hub, the Malaysian-spec unit is assembled locally (CKD) in Honda Malaysia’s Melaka plant.

If you want a clear example of the strong support enjoyed by the Honda WR-V, just look at the sales numbers – 62 percent of all Honda WR-V sold since its launch in July 2023, came from the highest specifications RS variant, which is priced from RM 107,900. RM 107,900 is quite a lot of money to pay for a locally assembled (CKD) 1.5-litre naturally aspirated car. For reference, a non-hybrid variant Honda City powered by the same 1.5-litre i-VTEC engine as the WR-V tops out at RM 99,900, so there i

Thailand’s economy is not in a very good shape right now. The political impasse in causing a lot of uncertainties, and spillover effects are being felt in the country’s automotive sector. Rising interest rates and stricter vetting of hire purchase applications are also putting a damper on new car sales. Due to its sheer scale, Thailand’s auto sector also serves as a bellwether of sorts for the rest of the region’s auto sector. In the first half of 2023, total new car sales in Thailand contracted
