This Turbo V Spec has a RM5,000 price difference.
It is well known fact that Malaysians (like the rest of the world right now) love crossovers over sedans and this 3rd generation HR-V with totally new styling and powertrain options is selling better than expected despite our slowing economy and global market uncertainties.
With rivals like the Mazda CX-3 (priced at RM130k) and Proton X50 (priced from RM80k to RM103k) are edging into the crowded compact SUV or crossover segment (currently no auto manufacturer can clearly explain the difference and why one is a crossover and the other a SUV), the HR-V remains ‘hot’.
Then there is the current segment favourite, the Toyota Corolla Cross which is priced from RM124k to RM137k which has been very popular since its launch.
Still, this new HR-V has 31,000 bookings since its launch and there are 7,000 plus happy customers already driving their new Crossovers.
From this healthy bookings above, the turbocharged high specification V Spec is the best selling version with a ‘lions’ share of the market.
