As my wife and myself travel,on highway almost on a daily basis in KV, the hybrid model is a no go! So have to take turbo version and sacrifice on the power tailgate! 121hp ….err…..like driving proton saga! Lol! I confirmed to my sa Liao….changed to v version this morning. Check out YouTube on the Philippine turbo version’s review.

so far, my SA didnt tell me to drop booking fees but asked me to confirm the model and color that i want.
Once confirmed for the model and color then cannot change again later.

Pearl white! Although I prefer the red!

good color but queue long lol. Prefer darker color tho. i think 1.5t on HR-V really can make the car drive quite fun. RS not sure but the RS on hr-v is abit more powerful than city RS la according to UK spec there.

Let me try to post this link from an indon reviewer. HRV

Ps. Sorry I really don’t know how to use the upload function . You can click and try to search the YouTuber. Also I don’t understand what he was talking . Lol.

probably should go test drive first before u guys decide on V or RS. so far i see RS i think suit me here driving la cos is small city and very very less highway. 1.5T should be quite powerful cos same as civic engine, but losing out those RS bodykit, tailgate etc, really turn off man..

Try this video from indon reviwer on the RS turbo.

Seems like alot youtube review at UK complaint about the engine noise when pedal to metal 😂

Not sure how the 1.5T will sound less or not.

Not confirm but rumors has it that Honda MY official launching at 14 July with pricing.

it seems like the SST doesn’t really add alot if u see city RS, only 1%+ increment, probably due to hybrid ckd is tax exemption. Then maybe honda hrv rs really is around 140k with tax, then maybe without is only 138k, looks abit overpriced B seg crossover lol.

Hybrid model price increases not a lot. Petrol model increases more, Civic also 5k extra

I thought hybrid tax exemption has been cancelled sometimes ago. My understanding is full EV is exempted! Agreed! If RS cum with turbo then rm138k is acceptable .

Lol the i-mmd engine is more expensive to begin with due to the batt, motor etc. i think honda malaysia manipulate the price la. They wan ppl feel city RS price actually no much increase after SST, so we will expect that hrv RS later ur tax exemption also 1-2k nia 🤣

In thailand they only get i-mmd also.

I kecian Taiwan makert also! They are getting the NA version only. My market don’t really give any shit to hybrid powertrain . The immd engine doesn’t give any spectacular advantage in power increment nor fuel saving. Looking at the figures of two engines combined and range .

Actually can save based on those ppl driving rs city feedback. City drive 1tank can 800+km la bro. and thailand combine output is 215PS based on their website. Dunno where u come out with such statement. If see paper is like that, maybe u shud go test drive first.
U from other camp ka bro? Toyota salesman? 😂

Lol…I hate Toyota car infact! me looking for drive pleasure , saving fuel is secondary. Wanna save fuel just get a viva lor huh…I am looking at My ‘s spec sheet on the RS! But it’s just me…I have no liking in any hybrid drivetrain of any models. Even merc now has mild battery to power the car but it’s not a hybrid! Lol. So do you mean Thai ‘s spec sheet written combined can get 215 ps for the first 9 seconds ? I am not convinced lol! But let’s leave this till we test driven the car later. Cheers.

New EV mx-30 motor is also around 145ps 273Nm, HR-V around 132ps 253Nm.

And EV car is damn heavy mx-30 around 1.65ton, i think the RS is a good setup la. Saw 1 review done by german, looks ok can go 120-140 no problem. Hybrid car is always about fuel efficiency than spirited driving. Good malaysia here let u choose V or RS.

Another thing need worry is the resale value

Cos the RS is designed for fuel efficiency ma, viva also cannot get lo 😂 thai spec is say from pauline tan review one. Hybrid car main intention memang is wan save fuel one.

“The e-motor produces 131 PS and 253 Nm of torque from 0 to 3,500 rpm. Honda Thailand quotes a total system output of 215 PS and claimed fuel consumption of 25.6 km/l.” The century sprint one no say la.

Ya just wait test drive lo.

Because of the implementation of sales tax then people just booked the new HRV before knowing its actual spec and proce.....it is very strange and risky. HM will be the one laughing all the way at the end of the day. The actual car could be trimmed spec with even higher price.
