Close up: New Honda HRV

In this blog entry, I'm posting about the Newly launched Honda HRV.   The HRV Was launched Last Thursday.  I was at 3 different Honda Showrooms.  All 3 were PACKED with people.  I can't take any decent shots due to the amount of Crowds.
An attempt to test drive takes up to 30 minutes queue.  I walked away after learning their SUPER SHORT 3km test drive routes.  Shall try again by this weekend.

Anyway, I was Surprised by the "Announced OTR Price".  It's RM6k-8k lower than Salesman estimated during Mid-Valley Preview.  

Here are the OTR prices with Insurance.

HR-V S variant - RM 99,800.00
HR-V E variant - RM 108,800.00
HR-V V variant - RM 118,800.00

So I'm not surprised that the Waiting list now stretched ranging from 1 month (S spec) to 6 months (for Ruse Black, V-spec). 

So, the photos I'm showing you is Either:

A) Official Honda Malaysia Photos 

B) Someone else photos (source clearly stated)

C) Brochure Scans


The HRV comes with 1 Engine and Gearbox Combo across the range:  
The 1.8 Engine's from Civic, producing 142ps@6500rpm and 172Nm@4300rpm.  It's mated with  CVT gearbox taken from Honda Jazz.

- Electronic Parking Brake with Auto Hold

Well there's a saying a picture's worth 1000 words, here are the photo gallery:
