Petaling Jaya, 16 May 2019 – Honda Malaysia (or the Company) today introduced a new stylish black interior to the New HR-V RS variant to level up its overall sporty look. The introduction of the black interior was the Company’s response to customers’ feedback for an enhanced touch of sophistication in the interior styling while enhancing the Joy of Owning a Honda car for its customers. Replacing the Ivory colour interior, the new black interior is fitted out in the centre console, front panel, driver and passenger seat (front and rear) as well as door panel lining. 

Honda Malaysia has received more than 12,200 bookings for the New HR-V of which more than 7,000 units have been delivered to customers since its official launch in January 2019.

The New HR-V RS is powered by a 1.8L SOHC i-VTEC engine combined with Honda's Earth Dreams Technology Continuous Variable Transmission (CVT) that delivers a balance of performance and fuel efficiency. It is also equipped with an exciting new feature – the Variable Gear Ratio (VGR) steering system for a sportier driving experience. The enhancement of the new stylish black interior complements the RS variant’s existing Sporty 18-inch Dual-Tone Alloy Wheels, Sporty Design Front Grille and sporty black front and rear bumper. 

With the sleek new interior colour, the New HR-V now exudes an even more sophisticated personality to go with its practical and functional features such as the Multi-Utility Cargo Space which offers class leading cabin space.
