All-new 2025 Honda HR-V bookings open in Malaysia; launching in Q3 2025

KUALA LUMPUR: Back in March, Honda Malaysia announced three new models for 2025. One of them, the Honda e:N1 EV, has already been launched, and now, as predicted, it’s the turn of the second, the HR-V facelift.

The company has started accepting bookings for the new HR-V at all authorised Honda dealerships nationwide and via Honda Malaysia’s online platforms. The launch is scheduled for the third quarter of 2025. 

The HR-V is one of the most beloved models in the B-segment SUV category and has remained Honda’s best-selling model in the first five months of 2025. The SUV continues to attract Malaysians with its stylish aesthetics, a spacious and practical interior, and reliable performance.

Since its debut in Malaysia in 2015, the HR-V has retained a strong appeal among both urban and suburban customers. As of May 2025, a total of 169,000 HR-Vs have been sold in the country.
