The factory stop production or reduced capacity for RS, don't know if shortage of parts or chips or prepare production lines for other models such as City Hatchback. If I'm not wrong Civic last time when in first year also face similar situation.

Wtf 1 year is a bit crazy... I'm going to test drive CR-V RS next week and SA in Penang said ETA 4 months and I thought that was long

What the... lol they launch new cars and the e:HEV versions but maybe those don't sell too well so the production line is 99% dedicated to the petrol variants. Man, what a letdown.

I'll still go ahead with the test drive next week for RS e:HEV but if the wait is longer than 4 months I'll probably just sit this one out for a while since my old Civic FC 2018 is still okay.

Actually e-CVT do have a transmission...I found that out, when I look up and saw a transmission fluid changes albeit at much lesser cost and much longer change interval. Then when you read up a little on e-CVT....the transmission have way lesser gears vs the CVT, auto and manual gears transmission as it runs on a single speed. In that sense, yes, lesser chances of failure due to lesser parts and the transmission will last very long but they are still risk for transmission repair and failure via wear and tear but in much longer period.

Hybrid have way less repair in general BUT when a repair is needed especially from the the electrical motor portion, it WILL be very costly, there is no doubt about that. EV has the same problem but with very much higher cost of repair when a failure occur especially in distance future.

eHev has additional clutches system for the engine/transmission connection (when switching to pure engine drive), that is additional complexity over the T hybrid but it does gives better driving experience. That is why, in my opinion H makes better hybrid design meant for driver experience but that also means more complexity and less reliability than T. Cost wise T hybrid is way more reliable, that is the give and take of H vs T design.

Turbo maintenance is a real concern if car kept for long term as the constant high heat will in general shorten engine life. I think that is a given, you added something that boost such great power over the original NA engine and yet can have better FC, something has to go. The forced highly compressed air with massive heat generated in our sometime super hot weather WILL affect engine life and reliability. Stringent requirement of good engine oil with monitored and much shorter engine life and change interval will also add to the cost. More repair will be needed at least over NA engine. Hybrid engine part even lesser repair needed, as mentioned, no alternator, no start, belt driven thingy....

So for me, in terms of engine reliability for long term over Turbo, Hybrid might not be inferior in that matter. It even have an advantage over turbo-based engine at that. It's Atkinson cycle engine while added some complexity and heat over NA engine, will likely last longer than turbo-based engine as it does less work (split work with electrical motors). It is also way more efficient with fixed interval on oil change (no power, we know that but that is where the electric motor comes in to buck up this weakness). 

The motor parts will likely last very long without failure...although concern is always there.....it will not fail in long time...but once it does, the repair or replacement will be exorbitant. It is a real fear but likely will be in very far future (of course, you are one of those super unlucky ones, habis or ones that runs very high mileage in short terms) but in reality, how many ppl really keep Hybrid that far to the future. Not many do (and I'm likely one of those that do keep for long term but I keep the mindset I'll cross the bridge when we get there approach). As for battery life, after 8 years to 10 years, with reduced capacity, can change one at abt 10K cost now but in 10 years, likely dropped a lot. Again that is at least 10 years, might have sold the car before that or just budget to have 10k change and a RENEWED fc efficiency as battery load and power will be back to original.
