A couple of variants of the Honda HR-V facelift, which was launched in July last year, now come with a 360-degree view camera. The petrol 1.5L T V grade and 1.5L e:HEV RS are the variants that gain the item at no added cost, which means the V continues on at RM137,900 and the e:HEV RS at RM143,900, both on-the-road without insurance.
Presently, both are available with significant rebates under a June promotion, with RM10,000 off for the V and RM13,000 for the e:HEV RS. The e:HEV RS with the 360° view camera is on display at the Kuala Lumpur International Motor Show (KLIMS) 2026.
Aside from the camera inclusion, there are no mechanical or functional changes, and so the output from the 1.5 litre VTEC Turbo mill in the V remains at 181 PS at 6,000 rpm and 240 Nm from 1,700 and 4,500 rpm, the unit paired with a CVT.
As for the e:HEV hybrid powertrain in the RS, output remains unchanged, with a 131 PS/253 Nm electric motor working in combination with a 107 PS and 131 Nm 1.5 litre DOHC i-VTEC Atkinson-cycle NA engine. The engine acts primarily as a generator but can also drive the front wheels at higher speeds.
The facelift doesn’t alter the third-gen RV’s exterior formula by much. There’s a new, wider front grille (in three varying presentations for the base S, turbo and hybrid) and a reprofiled front bumper, with matrix projector LED headlights (with active cornering lamps) finding their way on to the RS. At the back, the refresh introduced a new, sleeker LED tail light design, and the entire HR-V range now rides on a single 18-inch design, wrapped with 225/50 profile tyres.
Inside, the facelift introduced at new, more streamlined centre console, which adds on an additional storage compartment beneath the air-conditioner controls, and it also upgraded the eight-inch infotainment to a ‘floating’ unit, which supports wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. Standard equipment on the V and RS include a hands-free powered tailgate and auto retractable side mirrors.
Honda Sensing is standard across the HR-V range, and the suite of ADAS features is comprehensive, with the list being made up of Forward Collision Warning, Collision Mitigation Braking System (or AEB), Lane Departure Warning, Lane Keep Assist System, Road Departure Mitigation System, Adaptive Cruise Control with Low Speed Follow, Auto High Beam and Lead Car Departure Notification.
As it was at point of launch, the HR-V is available in five exterior colours, two of which are new to the SUV, these being Phoenix Orange Pearl and Crystal Black Pearl, with Platinum White Pearl, Stellar Diamond Pearl and Meteoroid Gray Metallic the other colour choices. Both Phoeniz Orange Pearl and Platinum White Pearl remain RM800 options.

Who buy this car really waterfish.
HRV MC2
You must be a ripe sweet juicy dumbo fruit to be picked by Honda Malaysia if you buy this car.
No ventilated seats, no heads up display, interior 50% from Honda city. So better go back preschool if you buy this car, learn about pro and cons what is right and what is wrong
dont forget the HRV high price RM140k , while the Chery tiggo 7 is selling now at RM99k .
Malaysians work hard to buy Perodua Bezza and Axia their whole life. Even poor India who eat cow shit and drink cow urine can buy Suzuki Jimny for same price as Axia.
But Indian doesn’t buy so many Jimny as thier Tata and Mahindra already producing more satisfying car.
u got downvoted for speaking the truth, those indian cow shit enthusiast have better car ownership than poor malaysians
Honda energy efficient engines remains unbeaten. China tries, but their ICE engines are truly not Japan level efficient yet. Or even Europe level. Hence why they dumped all their stocks into EVs. Electric motors are way easier to optimize, literally program that thing to be efficient. No matter how much you whine online, Honda/Toyota/Perodua still sitting pretty near the Top 10 because people can see it in the petrol bills of the China car users. And even more so due to the idiotic war in the ME.
1. when “Geely’s new efficient 47% thermal efficiency engine comes soon to malaysia , will you sing a different tune?
2 . “Honda/Toyota/Perodua still sitting pretty near the Top 10 ” – Honda/Toyota already lost huge market share to Geely/Proton. also if you bothered to follow recent events, meetee is blatantly protecting the incumbents. if that protection were removed and CCP allowed to sell cars at 60k your beloeved perodua would go bust within one year.
commie engines already exceeded 47% thermal efficiency which is better than jap or euro competitors..
actually toyota and honda in malaysia are now selling less than Geely/proton.and when Geely introduces their latest 47% thermal efficiency engine then you will the sales gap widen further.
perodua is still at the top because meetee protects them. remove the protection, a swarm of cheap china cars will enter and perodua will be wiped out in two years.
The numbers of orders is testamount to the poor education standards of Malaysia.Unintelligent people end up buying this car for a premium while Proton sells the better car for 20k less. The difference in specs is not at alll worth 20k.This is without even talking about Chinese cars at the same price range which is leaps and bounds better than the HRV. I guess it’s the brand name
Honestly this should’ve come since day one. Took the China cars to have them come to their senses, too little too late, and not a good look too.
people keep talking about resale value king, but had they ever think about the reason behind it? For the poor cars they offer, T and H are putting ultra high premium on the first time buyer thus justifying the high secondhand value. Malaysian buyers are liking this resale value idea because all of them have Stockholm syndrome.
