Viewed the car today but only the v version on display. Quite good actually! The only downside are those hard plastics on the dash and door panels!

Difference between the RS and Turbo Variants

Credits to Chin Lai Jun

Note:
- Msia Spec rims for Turbo Variant will get the RS styled rims instead of the one in the picture.
- Msia RS spec no two tone colour for the roof.
*
also for RS, the interior(the pillar and ceiling) is black, while for other variants its Beige color type.

Those wondering how the V spec Turbo looks in Grey, can refer to this pic.

Note: the Rims for Msia spec will follow the RS styled rims.

hi all, wonder what do you think on blind spot monitor and power tailgate?

will lack of these 2 feature stop you considering this car?

i think blind spot monitor is useful compared to the camera especially it only 1 side and required manual activation, nowadays motorcycle just like to suddenly pop from nowhere or hide on your blind spot, although we been driving car without blindspot monitor for so long, but having additional safety feature is a plus.

power tailgate is a good function too, i often encounter i have no other free hands to open the boot and have to put my things down 1st. judging from the 130k price tag (turbo), kinda meh for not giving these 2 useful function.

if the top turbo spec come with these 2 function, i will order it already .....

and also, is there any after market plug and play blindspot monitor?
*
i believe those that booked this car definitely do not think lacking these 2 features is a dealbreaker.
i do agree that it is a very useful feature to have and at this price range they should have given to us. probably a marketing decision.

what you said is right, we have been surviving without these features for a long time, and for another 5-10 years without these is also not a problem.

personally i dont think this car is the best bang for buck(probably x50 is more value for money) but at this subcompact suv and price range, i do think it is most beautiful one as of now.
i booked this also because i like its design, turbo variant, magic seat, honda connect, apple carplay/android auto. other features i didnt weigh it that much.

No wireless apple CarPlay is another issue to me, I don’t want to plug my phone all the while I using.

Yup, x50 might be the best for value of money but only for the highest spec right? If I not wrong still need around 100k,
personally I don’t want to pay 100k for a proton….

Thinking of Corolla cross too but on paper is c segment but interior size wise is smaller than hrv, the only thing hrv lose is the boot space due to more sporty tailgate design.
*
ya, need 100k for top spec.
i have been driving my proton persona for 9 years d. so i dont feel like going for proton.
want to change brand.

indeed they sacrifice some space for sporty design. personally i dont always need so much boot space. only long long time once.. i think still fine.
Looking at corolla cross, i personally dont feel it look nice la..LOL

Just taken delivery of my wife’s HR-V V Spec.

Good news: The latest HRV got RDS - not even my current Civic FE RS got… the turbo engine is similar to my Civic - didn’t push yet la… only 15km driven laugh.gif
Bad news: no auto folding side mirror. Not sure if there is a setting - but didn’t see any for this. Also, A pillar on left side + side mirror is a huge blindspot in my humble opinion.

Just a short drive, so can’t comment much yet. Will update my first impressions later.

aiks.. even off engine also wont auto fold ar.. hmm.. doh.gif

Don't worry about AppleCarplay not wirelessly as you can easily buy a dongle from shopee for less than RM 300 "CarLinkKit version 4.0" which support wireless Apple CarPlay and AndroidAuto. Make sure you're connecting to the WiFi not bluetooth connection if you want stable and fast connection. I'm using it on my Honda. Just take around 20-25 seconds to connect during cold start.

Nice recommendation, didnt know have this kind of things rclxms.gif

test drive the v spec just now. a bit of traffic on the road, so i cant really push its power or whatsoever but im driving in sports mode. i can only say going up small incline is effortless. going up genting i dont know since i dont have the car yet.

the drive itself is comfortable, suspension i think is slightly on the soft side. so fast corner might feel a bit of the body roll but nothing too bad since most of us just drive normally and not racing with it. visibility is good from the driver side imo.

btw no front parking sensor. theres a side mirrror switch to close and open side mirror, turning off the car will not close the side mirror automatically. full size spare tyre. auto on/off light. i think it has daylight light?

parking brake is auto-engage when gear set to P, and auto-release when you set to D and hit the accelerator pedal. lane watch camera is ok but if you want to nitpick, resolution is meh.

back seat on the side is comfortable, but on the center definitely is not ok. but if for kids to sit in the middle no problem. im 173cm and if i sit in the middle, my head do touch the ceiling. so i would say this car is a comfortable 4 seater but not for 5 adult, just my opinion.

this test drive car arrive at this dealer only today, so it is this car's first day and already been driven 193km when its my turn to drive. from the meter itself, fuel consumption is 7.7km/l when i get into the car.

Nice FR! Well, it’s a suv! If one corner like driving a civic  then that fellow is a real sohai liao.! laugh.gif I felt most critics are simply talking coxk ! They want a 130k odds car to be well equipped like a GLC or X3. Lol.
*
in some ways i do agree with you that some critics is just a bit overboard. i look in fb, since hrv is now price slightly nearer to civic, some compare it with civic and said civic is more value for money yada yada yada.. but in all honesty, some people just want a higher/taller car do not care too much on the driving performance. some may even look at how fast it takes to get from 0-100 and argue about it but in reality, how often do they step all the way on the pedal.
