Honda Malaysia has announced that the highly anticipated Honda Small SUV, the All-New Honda WR-V is now open for booking at all 101 dealerships nationwide.
Honda Malaysia Managing Director and Chief Executive Officer, Mr. Hironobu Yoshimura said, “We are thrilled to be the first Japanese mass market manufacturer to introduce a brand-new Small SUV in the Non-National Segment to Malaysians, set to launch in Q3 2023.
The All-New WR-V delivers a unique experience to our customers with the distinctive character of a Honda SUV by combining sporty style, advanced technology, safety features, top-notch performance and high ground clearance. The All-New WR-V is the ideal companion for young adults and families who seek a Small SUV that exudes a vibrant and bold personality to complement their active lifestyle.”
The sporty appearance of the All-New WR-V is amplified by its compact, well-proportioned design. The model measures 4,060mm in length, 1,780mm in width and 1,608mm in height. With a high ground clearance of 207mm, which surpasses cars from a class above, the All-New WR-V offers practicality and is easy to manoeuvre for urban commutes.
The model will be available with an RS variant that sports a newly designed RS emblem, unique Front Grille and 17” Dual-Tone Alloy Wheels. Its sleek and sporty look is enhanced by coupé-style rear door handles, giving it an edgy stylishness.
The All-New WR-V also features a Power Retractable Door Mirror, Auto LED Headlights and LED Daytime Running Lights (DRL) as well as LED Front Fog Lights and LED Sequential Turn Signals.
Equipped with a powerful engine, the All-New WR-V sets a new benchmark with a 1.5L DOHC i-VTEC engine which generates a maximum power of 121PS and a maximum torque of 145Nm.
Integrated with the Continuous Variable Transmission (CVT) with G-design shift technology, the all-new Small SUV realises the perfect balance between excellent fuel
economy and driving performance.
