I see. Been following several CRV FB pages, seems like the S/E/V variants are now in stock, even though it was mentioned that production was halted. Hopefully I can get mine before raya.

how is the stock like for RS?

No idea, but Old1030 here says there's a chip shortage hence production is interrupted.

Still no news from my SA, again, hoping I can get it before raya.

Saw 1 RS on road.

Certainly not mine lol. What colour was it?

On a side note, I really like the "stadium" seats for the rear passengers. Easier for them to see around as well.

Heard the waiting time is 4 months.

Booked my RS on 23/03/2024 and will collect the car tomorrow. Supposed to collect yesterday but delayed a few days waiting for the dashcam.

Told the salesman any color will do except white. They gave me meteorite gray.
*
That was quick.. they had an RS in stock? Do they have any more?

Sorry. totally not sure if they still have stock or not. Maybe someone booking have problem with loan application and I was next in line.
Salesman told me to get loan approval ready after booking so that he can quickly grab one if available.

Alright thanks. Enjoy your RS!

Im an owner of a cx5, waiting for my RS. The interior of the CX5 is just too small for the body size, very small bootspace too. Handling is subjective, its still taller than a sedan but is responsive i.e it goes where you want it to go, slight understeer in corners (i think all suv has that due to the higher centre of gravity). A slight regret as well as the cx5 has a pretty outdated infotainment system.

I'm all for the size of CRV, the new RS is much more refined in comfort and handling, not just comparing with the CX5 but also with the CRV G5.

Are you saying, the G6 handles better than the CX5? That is a big leap for Honda.

Thats the thing, its subjective. My preference now is comfort and thats what the G6 gives me, as compared to the "ruggedness" of the CX5, hence it handles better for me.

While i collecting my V yesterday, 2 RS being delivered as well from same branch
Then when I go do tinting, meet another new RS white color doing tinting

And while installing my plate number, meet 1 CX5 new facelift owner, initially booked RS since Jan change his order to mazda

Terbalik now,, last time waiting period for Mazda is long,, now buyer change to mazda for fast delivery

I dont know is it due to demand or still shortage of chips..

At my V Specs seat plastic sticker saw that my production date from kilang is 22 Mar, delivered to showroom 2 Apr

I am a current owner of a CX5 but the space is just too small for me, hence the shift to CRV but pretty frustrating of not getting the car yet.

Where's your branch..? Might want to give a visit if they've got a ready units.

Hi ...

Anyone already got their CRV RS version? I make my booking in January till today still no news from SA. According to SA there is a delay in RS production by HONDA.

From what I observe not many CRV RS on the road till today. Any issue with Honda production on RS spec?
*
Nope haven't got mine either. Booked early Feb, still no news.

I suddenly recall Mazda have the 2.2D.... but its known for some issues and since no more diesel subsidies, ya good luck with that

For waiting period there's really nothing can be done about it especially when it comes to a popular brand like Honda or Toyota, the demand is always there

Though I'm surprised the hybrid also need to wait that long because my impression was the hybrid is the least popular spec in the line up. Maybe they underestimate the demand for it hence the production was cut down
*
If you were to say this a month or two after launch I'd understand but this is half a year after launch and they still havent got the production numbers right..? I think there's something else..rather than cut down production i think there's long lead time of some parts..and they still dont wanna ramp up import of those parts.

Was told from an SA in a Lotus's roadshow is that July is when production will meet demand (for RS) fingers crossed I'll get mine by then.

Today i saw most CRV G6 on my way from work in Cyber back to KL
And most of it is RS
Since Im using G6, and know supply for Rs a bit low,, always on a look out on the road for the RS batch, black rim, and body color cladding, today I saw more than most than any other day, i think more than 5, normally not even 1, most is with AWD batch

I hope most of you here gotten yours or know estimated delivery date already

Still haven't 😢 not a date even.
