Honda Malaysia has just launched the new 2026 Honda CR-V in the country, with brings with it a number of changes and updates.
Kicking things off is the updated line-up – the 2026 Honda CR-V now offers just 3 variants:
- 2026 Honda CR-V 2.0 E e:HEV: RM 178,200
- 2026 Honda CR-V 1.5 V AWD: RM 181,900
- 2026 Honda CR-V 2.0 RS e:HEV: RM 195,900
The removal of the entry-level S means that the entry price of the CR-V line-up is marginally higher than before (1.5 S was sold at RM 159,900, while the 1.5 E was sold at RM 169,900), as the 2.0 E e:HEV is the new entry point into the CR-V family.
