2024 Honda CR-V open for booking in Malaysia, to launch in December

HONDA Malaysia has officially opened bookings for the sixth generation all-new Honda CR-V at all 101 dealerships nationwide. The company is gearing up to launch the C-segment SUV sometime in December 2023.

The all-new CR-V will be available in the e:HEV RS variant, which Honda Malaysia says exudes a more premium feel with its front grille with a bold mesh pattern, full LED Headlights and taillights, LED front fog lights, and front
LED sequential turn signals.

The variant also comes with sleek door handles, Berlina Black 18-inch alloy wheels as well as an active shutter grille on the front lower bumper.

According to the company, the active shutter grille enhances both aerodynamics and fuel efficiency by automatically opening and closing the shutters based on the car’s speed, engine temperature and cooling needs.

For our market, the CR-V will be offered with two powertrain options. The first is a 2.0-litre e:HEV hybrid powertrain with an improved hybrid traction motor that outputs 184 PS and 335 Nm of torque.

The engine is coupled with an Electric Continuous Variable Transmission (e:CVT) with a new framework, which is a first for Honda Malaysia.

The second powertrain option is the familiar 1.5-litre VTEC Turbo engine that delivers 193 PS and 243 Nm. Power is sent to all four wheels via a CVT and Real Time AWD.

Other creature comforts include a hands-free power tailgate with Walkaway Close, a multi-view camera system with a 360-degree view and Honda Connect.

The Honda Sensing system has been upgraded with a wide-angle radar and camera, and sonar sensor for Low Speed Braking Control. It now has a total of nine safety functions with the addition of Adaptive Driving Beam, which is an exclusive function for the e:HEV RS.

Bookings for the CR-V can be placed online at prebook.honda.com.my, via the HondaTouch app or at any of the 101 authorised Honda dealerships nationwide.

Honda Malaysia will arrange exclusive previews in selected Honda dealerships for customers to experience the CR-V prior to its launch. Details of the participating dealerships are as below:
