2015 Honda HR-V Info Hub: News, Reviews, Launch Reports & More

The all-new 2015 Honda HR-V has finally been launched in Malaysia from a stunning starting price of RM99,800, and goes all the way up to RM118,800. Here is our dedicated INFO HUB page set on providing you with all the latest news, reviews and reports surrounding the all-new model from Honda.

Slightly smaller than a Honda CR-V, the all-new HR-V is also known as the Vezel in foreign markets, and as we know, is largely based on the underpinnings of a Honda City and Jazz. But it isn’t the first of its kind we’ve seen from a car brand in Malaysia.

At launch, the HR-V directly competes with the Ford EcoSport and Peugeot 2008: two models we’ve seen in local showrooms for some time now, both with common ideas of sharing their B-segment hatch counterparts’ underpinnings.

But while the Honda rides on a familiar platform, it isn’t precisely what you would call an enlarged Jazz or City, much unlike how the Ford EcoSport has a pretty identical interior, powertrain and more, with its smaller Fiesta sibling – such is the case also for the Peugeot 2008, and its smaller 208.

Based on what we’ve seen so far, the HR-V’s interior has much that’s unique about it, and the 1.8-litre petrol engine is straight out of the C-segment's Honda Civic. Don’t be fooled by the “coupe-esque” exterior either: this is a proper four-door, five-seater than disguises its rear door handles by integrating it into the C-pillars of the car.

Honda Introduces The World To Its All-New Vezel

You’d have to wind the clock all the way back to November 2013 for this one: the day that Honda first unveiled the all-new Honda Vezel to the world, at the Tokyo Motor Show. Poised initially for a Japanese debut a month later, the Vezel – a.k.a. HR-V – was to feature a 1.5-litre and a 1.8-litre petrol engine, alongside with a 2WD and AWD configuration. Little was known about the Vezel’s ASEAN debuts, let alone its Malaysian launch, but this was the first time anyone had ever laid eyes on the physical vehicle.
