Summary

Deployed in the compact SUV market (small B-segment SUV), Honda Malaysia’s new player, the all-new Honda WR-V (Winsome Runabout Vehicle).

First of its kind, it slots under the HR-V on Honda’s roster, offering a stylishly compact and comfortably agile build.

Locally-assembled (CKD - Pegoh, Melaka), the small crossover comes in four variants. WR-V 1.5L S, WR-V 1.5L E, WR-V 1.5L V, and WR-V 1.5L RS (Road Sailing).

Prices (on-the-road, without insurance) start from MYR 89,900, MYR 95,900, MYR 99,900, and MYR 107,900, respectively.

Each purchase includes a five-year, unlimited mileage manufacturer’s warranty, and a five-year/100,000 KM free labour service (five times within period).

Five exterior colours. Ignite Red Metallic, Platinum White Pearl, Stellar Diamond Pearl, Meteoroid Gray Metallic and Crystal Black Pearl.

Completing the ambience is the headliner (grey - WR-V 1.5L S, WR-V 1.5L E, WR-V 1.5L V, black - WR-V 1.5L RS).
