Thus far, Honda Malaysia has confirmed that two new models are slated to be launched within this year, and the all-new Honda HR-V is one of the candidates.

Although Honda Malaysia has yet to reveal powertrain details surrounding the all-new HR-V, VTEC Turbo was mentioned, lending credence that the Malaysian-spec HR-V will be getting forced induction, as well as the i-MMD petrol-electric hybrid powertrain.

The forced induction 1.5-litre engine will likely be a similar unit that powers the Honda Civic, Honda CR-V, and Honda Accord, albeit with a lower state of tune.

At the moment, the outgoing Honda HR-V is available either with a naturally-aspirated 1.8-litre engine or an i-DCD Sport Hybrid system. Indonesia will host the global debut of the turbocharged HR-V and Malaysia will be getting the model soon afterwards.
