Watch out, Perodua Ativa and Proton X50! Honda Malaysia has confirmed it will bring the WR-V to our shores this year, taking the fight directly to the national makes.
-sized WR-V to the country in the third quarter of the year. To be clear, the company did not explicitly reveal the model name—referring to it only as a “small SUV”—but the teaser image below leaves little in the way of ambiguity.in terms of both size and pricing. This is actually the second generation, which replaces the original Jazz-based model with one based on the similarly budget-friendly Brio hatchback and Amaze sedan .
The WR-V even looks very similar, with details that include trapezoidal head- and taillights, a large hexagonal grille, a bumper-mounted rear number plate recess and rakish C-pillars, along with the scarlet hero colour and optional black roof. One unique feature is the hidden rear door handles, a design cue lifted from the HR-V.
The equipment list is relatively comprehensive, with available items that include LED head- and taillights, LED front fog lights, 16- and 17-inch alloy wheel options, keyless entry with walk-away auto lock, push-button start, automatic air-con, six speakers, six airbags and stability control. Some features available in Thailand, like the-style smart key card, will probably be dropped to keep prices competitive against local competition.
On the flip side, the car will almost certainly be offered with the Honda Sensing active safety package, which is fully equipped with not just autonomous emergency braking but also adaptive cruise control and lane centring assist to provide Level 2 semi-autonomous driving capabilities. If Thailand is any indication, this brace of systems could even come as standard across the range, giving the WR-V a key advantage over the X50 that reserves these features for the range-topping Flagship variant.
