The e:HEV variants also feature an exclusive Individual Drive Mode, enabling drivers to personalise their driving dynamics according to their preferences.
Honda Malaysia managing director and CEO Narushi Yazaki said, “The CR-V has long been our flagship model and a key pillar in Honda Malaysia’s success."
"This underscores our continued commitment to making Honda’s hybrid more accessible to a broader customer base, while accelerating the growth of our hybrid footprint in the Malaysian market.”
The CR-V receives exterior and interior refinements, as well as a new colour option, namely Blazing Red Pearl.
All variants now come standard with Honda authorised solar and security tint film by Ecotint.
Hybrid variants feature 18-inch alloy wheels in Berlina Black, while the turbocharged CR-V has 18-inch alloy wheels in Sparkle Silver.
The CR-V e:HEV RS variant's cabin now features a darker hairline film finish on the dashboard, elevating the interior with a more premium feel and seats embossed with the RS logo.
A feature on all CR-V variants is the nine-inch Advanced Display Audio system (supports wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto).
With Google Audio Services integrated into the Advanced Display Audio system, drivers can enjoy hands-free Google Assistant, real-time navigation through Google Maps, and access to a variety of applications via Google Play.
Also on all CR-V variants is the Digital Key feature that allows owners to lock and unlock the vehicle and start the engine via a mobile device.
Additionally, functional remote features such as Remote Window Close and Remote Power Tailgate are integrated into the Honda Connect mobile application.
All CR-V variants are also fitted with Blind Spot Information (BSI) system which continuously monitor areas that are typically difficult to see, such as the diagonal rear blind spots.
When a vehicle is detected, the system instantly alerts the driver with an illuminated indicator in the side-mirrors, helping to ensure safer lane changes.
