Launch confirmed on 14th July

i thought the new HR-V is the one that was launched in the US. I actually like that better, and I wonder if they will ever make way to Malaysia, or SEA market.

I hope it would be possible at some point to retrofit the RS body kit to the V spec 1.5turbo variant.

RS: HEV hybrid with spare tyre? lol

exactly ..just wonder copy & paste on the first post. lol

Just arrived
Its roomier cos is C segment (built on TNGA-C)

Any news on the projected pricing ?

Thanks for the info on the pricing. Quite surprised Honda is actually previewing the V specs instead of the RS. But having said that, it’s going to be the most hot selling variant nonetheless.

we can go inside? how spacious compare to old HRV?

So HRV or Corolla Cross better?

Do you think the interior can be comparable to say a Civic? I understand HR-V is technically a B-segment but from the outside at least it looks like a jacked up Civic rather than a jacked up City to me

I heard from proton sa, price start from 120k and push up to 150k range. like civic wow!

Managed to ramas the Meteorite Grey RS today. My take on the all New HRV are as follows (coming from an existing owner of the 2015 HRV V trim and have also test drove the Corolla Cross Hybrid):-

1. Build quality as an overall really improved. Despite there are still quite a few hard plastic across the interior. Buttons seems to have more textile feel and loving the physical Aircond controls (speaking of the physical Aircond control, Honda did a nice touch by putting in colour variation in the temperature dials - red for hotter and turns blue for colder). I even tried slamming both front and rear doors and I must admit that they feel more solid than the Corolla Cross. Only gripe is the exhaust pipe for the RS looks hideous where there is no garnish whatsoever. Looks cheap ..tyres are 18inch 225 50 R18 Conti

2. Space wise, somewhat feels the same as the previous HRV except for the rear. Headroom seems to have reduced due to the sloping coupe like C pillar but leg room seems to increased by a wee bit. The black head roofing tend to give a more consistent feel as the rest of the interior are black. Doesn’t feel claustrophobic. Boot space however have decreased in size from previous with no spare tire (RS version only - but given a tyre repair kit). The leather seats feels comfortable but not sure it will give sufficient bolstering while driving.

3. Tech wise, Although we are not getting the 9 inch infotainment system as per the Japan and European markets, I feel that this head unit is far more superior than the Corolla Cross. The screen is bright and responsive. USB plug points are nicely placed below the Aircond dials which gives better cable management while charging or using the apple CarPlay/android auto. Reverse camera is clear with 4 angles to choose. Too bad no 360 viewing angle. We only get Honda lane watch. The 8 build in speakers is surprisingly good. Auto window only on the driver’s side.

4. According to the SA I spoke with prices are estimated ranged from RM120k to RM140k

Sorry could not give a more in-depth observation as I only managed to view it less than 10 minutes.

why need spyshot when the whole SEA has this car for 6 months already 

this preview is more for people to on hold their purchase of corolla cross 

Does the v variety got that sunroof?
