[Reserved]

quite pricey for the premium variant

Look gorgeous.

By the way, want to know what is you (all) waiting time/order for this new CR-V?

Reverse Parking..

Added some pictures I took:

How much is the road tax for 1.5 Turbo? Roughly what is the damage for 18in tyre? What is the estimated maintenance cost for the 1.5 TC model?

roadtax is just like for 1500cc car, change to 17" rims cheaper la; buy first , enjoy now

crv definitely better than x-trail. But 18 inch tyres is hole in your pocket after 2yr ownership. hahaha

Road tax is $120. Listed in the price list.

prepare rm3000-rm3300 for 4 tyre

How the look if change to 17in? What is the min damage 17 rim + tyre?

This is hurt lol

Greeting. Booked my CRV TC-P during June. Initially ordered VW Tiguan but delivery date on December, so cancelled the order.

SA said my car arrived, delivery date within this month.

Went to their stockyard and view the car.

People who still considering in term of exterior colour might refer to the photo for better view under direct sunlight.

Cheer.


Attached thumbnail(s)

The olive color not bad ya.......but I booked pearl white already....we bought total 5 cars back in May.....group buy but discount a bit only.....the cabin is really spacious.....rear seat is reclinable....

If one can afford CR-V, why can't they afford these tyres

Tyre is one of the most important safety aspect among all

RRP for Michelin Latitude Tour HP RM990. Same tire with Porsche SUV yoh

Saw this on the road a few days baxk. Test drive car. Looks freaking good man! This is gonna be another hot seller !!

some people thought the tyre cost no more than 2k lol 17inch maybe can la. 18 inch hahahaha

Any idea how good the turbo engine?? Totally new engine or do we need Turbocharged in normal road driving ?

I booked Pearl White too, initially prefer the Olive Green too, but it is a little too dark to my preference.

5 people group buy?
May I know the offer you guys get?
I only got typical RM500 "commission" discount.

1000 each plus full tank and touch and go 100 and umbrella

i am currently considering between olive green or modern steel @@@ previously was an owner of insight with pearl white.. quite hard to maintain and is yellowish if compare with other white car@@


what do you guys think of olive green? i received quite a lot feedback saying the colour is like poo colour LOL... but most of them see from the picture online instead of real car.. the problem is the car is in the showroom.. can't really see the actual colour under the hot sun. Modern steel seems quite common outside nowadays.


Btw i got quite a good deal... 1.3k cash back or worth of 2k tint.. please pm me ... i can share with you the details.

Pls PM me for details. Might be getting another one. Thanks.

Olive color looks like pool but under hot sun it looks like black.....I used to have a Honda Insight too.....yes the paint changed color about a year later and very hard to maintain.....but CRV pearl white is different....its brighter.....

Olive green here, getting my car these few days.

silver here. waiting for the car by end of this month.

are you all getting the premium version?

Mine is premium. Sick of waiting Tiguan.

You waiting Tiguan too? I've been waiting since April, really disappointed and finally changed to CRV.

Mine also TC-P, pearl white.

I think Olive Green work the other way round.
With direct sunlight, you may see the dark green metallic color but within shaded area it appear to be black color.

what the best interest rate can get for loan?

1.5TC only but from Paul Tan news seem that TC-P is top selling.

Yup, April as well, their tidak-apa attitude made me worry about their spare-parts availability in the future, so cancelled it and booked CRV.

Decided to go with modern steel hahaha.. am opting for the 4WD..... saw quite a lot bad review for the honda sensing for the overseas version...

My SA told me 1.5TC top selling.....follow by honda sensing, 2.0 and lastly the 4WD

I changed my Color to olive green. Next week delivery.

Post the review link here

Very excited that the crv finally launched in our shore after reading much review from oversea.
Went to the showroom, sit inside the car and feel it...
Somehow the car dun feel n look premium from inside. I think accord has the more luxurious feel. Just feeling it is a very practical n realiable car. What do you guys think?

Can you share the bad reviews.
In the states, Honda sensing need only top up 1k usd for civic.

Yes I too would like to know about the bad Honda sensing reviews thanks.

Sorry i don't have the direct link already but you can just google CRVclubowners forum.. i saw it from there.

Omg ! Honda is back with those fake wood trims!

Anyone driving 2.0 New CRV? Will 2.0 underpowered?

1.5T abit pricy to maintain since the oil change is more frequent and the 18inches tyre is expensive.

i also thinking to get the 2.0, cheaper save money, and essential exterior look the same

The difference between 2.0 and 1.5T 2WD is the turbo engine, front parking sensor, auto wiper.

So 2.0 is still a good buy just wonder how it perform under real-world situation. I believe it is difficult to find a show room that has 2.0 Test drive car as well.

0-100kmph
2.0 is >11s
1.5T is 8.8s

Huge difference in performance

FC-wise, 1.5T should be slightly better, probably could fetch 14-15km/l on highways VS 12-13km/l for the 2.0L CVT

To add, you can save RM13k just on the price difference if you opt for 2.0L VS 1.5T 2WD

Road tax, 2.0L is more expensive by ~RM300 per year
Tyres, 1.5T is more expensive by RM200-300 per piece due to its 18" rims

With good safety features i think it worth the price.

Just sadly we dont get 4wd for top spec

Yet the safety features still same like tcp except for honda sensing

oh really; then better get the 1.5T cos i always sad cannot leave toll gate fastest,

Hoho.. If u frequently floored your pedal, you will shorten the oil life and visit SC more frequently

go to Global Amity Bangi. I tested it there. 2.0

Earlier I was also in dilemma between 1.5 TC and 2.0 NA but ended up with 1.5 TC as tire maybe every 2 years change so the difference not much if you put aside some money for maintenance every month.

Thank god SC is nearby if every 3 months go SC for oil change. Around RM200+- i was told each oil change.

he said turbo need change oil every 3 months?

nay, just my own estimate based. eventually you will need to follow the maintenance minder. normally 10k will take me around 6 months max based on my 1.8 Civic.

with CRV 1.5tc I expect to be at worst case 3 months or more before needing to change the engine oil

Not really and it depend on usage.
Service internal at every 10k mileage. Turbo engine are recommended to service at 7k to 8k or so.

Hi, you tested the 2.0. What makes you choose 1.5tc? 2.0 under powered?

Must service? SA told me if the indicator prompt the sign A, just need to top up engine oil. If B means need service.

My current car is civic 1.8 as last year I am still skeptical of the 1.5TC engine.

After a year so far did not see any big issue like overheat/broken down due to the 1.5TC engine other than Honda lousy QC which affects most of their model. Always wanted to get the 1.5TC but held back to observe first.

I test drove the 2.0 with the car salesperson only and definitely not able to feel any underpower and the road tested also normal without any long stretch or hilly.

If looking at paper specs, looks not much difference in terms of power other than you dont need to rev the 1.5TC like 2.0NA for torque. If you like to rev then 2.0NA better from my 1.8NA experience.

For A status can top up ownself or need to go SC?

need go to SC

thanks. i better also try the 2.0 and see how it goes. yesterday test drove 1.5tcp, with 5 adults onboard. drive slowly but can feel there is a lot of power readily to be unleashed.

May I know where you test driven the TCP?
I booked at Kah Motor Puchong and their test drive unit still in the showroom for viewing.

jalan imbi and setia alam. both is 1.5tcp.

pandan indah has 2.0 but not go yet.

hey, I got my car from Kah Puchong also. Just received it yesterday.

care to share how much standard discount they give?

Kah motor give 0 discount. Old klang road one give good discount call Andrew 0126868031

i don't want to check with too many branches. coz eventually not gonna buy from all of them. if you can tell what is okr standard discount it will be great.

Wow, you are fast. TCP and how was it?
How about the very first owner's review?

Hardly got chance to drive, busy with work and I commute using LRT. Handling is better than I expected especially at a u-turn. I do realize my light switch is kanda loose, I could accidentally switch off the light while putting on signal, probably need to visit the SC later and see what they say.

For those receiving cars soon, please do check your tire pressure as it's usually very high out of factory (mine was 290 all wheels), it makes the ride bumpy and noisy.

Expecting to get mine this weekend.

Yes, all new car you need to deflate and inflate again. They purposely put in high pressure.

doubt they can give discount for a brand new model..My sales guy told me not possible..

care to explain..sorry not a car expert

getting my steel silver 2.0 this week too..

you are wrong on this one. i got offer standard discount from 2 branches which is 1k and 1.5k

you need a different sales guy.

Probably letting go their commission?

Yeah, try Alvin from Honda Semenyih, 0182388728. He is offering 3.5k for the Gen 5 CRV.

Wow.. I get 2k offer in KL

Hi bro, do you mind PM me your dealer? I want to place a booking for TC 2WD..

It's standard discount by branch.

This is highest afaik. Alvin must be very busy then.

If you trade in ur currect car. Then the price they offer you need to factor in as well. Give u higher discount but trade in price lower will not make any difference.

looking at honda crv service schedule pricelist the air filter price 1.5t and 2.0 is huge different

What is the difference?

1.5T rm85.50
2.0 rm223.91

No trade in. Outright purchase.

Wow. Big diff

Nice. I better give Alvin a call. Thanks

i dont know the reason why they put high pressure. just that all the new car that i collect over the years the tire pressure is high and need to deflate and inflate to the recommended pressure.

Putting high pressure on new cars' tires is to prevent flat spot as cars are parked very long before delivery.

thanks for creating this new post about latest crv . dilemma choosing the colour now btw obsidian blue and the olive green. anyone seen the blue in real ? how the colour feel like?

R
This is not new colour.. can see from old CRV.. olive green is new and initially tempted to get.. but got diff views.. so in the end decided for safer colour... modern steel 😂

i think the olive green on CRV more funky than the xtrail has it now. its cool though sometimes its black and sometimes its dark gree.

hi guys, want to know how long the car to be collected once booking done? tq

You need to be more specific on which particular model of four.

1.5tcp

What is the real purpose having a 4WD in this crossover? It is not like the Subaru Fulltime AWD.. Still in dillema whether I should go for one spec higher4WD

Approximately one month from booking according to SA.

If you are looking for good FC, 2WD is suffice. Unless you are looking for better acceleration 4WD/AWD.

I have driven the CRV 1.5 TC for almost 5 days. Probably one of the early ones to get the car. Super happy with it. Extremely quiet and the power was good. Handling was nice, stable during corners. CarPlay and Siri is the future but wish Waze supports CarPlay. The audio systems lack bass. Love the digital dashboard, very nice. The LED light too bright at night/basement parking. Love the Auto Walk Away lock but hate that the car does not automatically lock when you start to drive. Overall, it is a great car. Highly recommended.

Honda Malaysia giving RM3500 for 1.5 TCP? received SMS from Kah motor.....
