Honda Malaysia itself has opened the tap to ordering the WR-V since June 12 last year. Various camera footage shows the Honda WR-V being transported by truck through the streets of Malaysia.

According to Paultan, the Malaysian Honda WR-V will be available in four variants, including types S, E, V and the top RS variant.

All WR-V variants feature the same powertrain as the Indonesian and Thai market versions, namely the naturally aspirated 1.5-liter DOHC i-VTEC L15ZF engine developing 121 hp and 145 Nm, paired with a CVT.

FYI: This car was first launched worldwide in Indonesia in November 2022.

This model immediately managed to attract Indonesian consumers, receiving orders of up to 2,580 units in less than a month.
