Honda Malaysia has surprised the market with the latest addition to the Company’s Hybrid line-up. The New HR-V Sport Hybrid i-DCD launched recently is yet another milestone for Honda in Malaysia as it’s the only country outside Japan to introduce the intelligent Dual-Clutch Drive (i-DCD) Hybrid system in the Compact Sport Utility Vehicle (SUV).
Honda Malaysia was the pioneer in bringing Hybrid technology into Malaysia in 2004. Honda Malaysia was also the first car manufacturer to produce Hybrid vehicles locally and the third country among Honda globally after Japan and United States of America to produce the Completely Knocked Down (CKD) Hybrid model since 2012. Malaysia is the only country outside of Japan to introduce the Sport Hybrid i-DCD line-up, starting with the launch of Jazz Hybrid, City Hybrid and now with the New HR-V Hybrid, which holds the record as the first in the compact SUV segment in Malaysia with Sport Hybrid i-DCD.
Launched in 2015, the HR-V has performed positively, achieving total sales of more than 72,300 units in the year ending 2018. Honda Malaysia made history as the first marque to introduce Compact SUV to the mass market and revolutionized the segment to be one of the fastest growing segments in the Malaysian market. The
HR-V has captured an average of 81%* market share in the Compact SUV segment since its launch. It continues to maintain its No. 1 position in the segment for the third consecutive years.
Honda Malaysia Managing Director and Chief Executive Officer Mr. Toichi Ishiyama said, “The compact SUV market in Malaysia has been growing over the last 3 years, with HR-V being the main contributor towards that growth. HR-V emerged as the top 3 contributors for Honda Malaysia with an average contribution of 20%* towards the overall sales. For that, I would like to thank Malaysians for their continuous support in making this possible.”
Mr. Ishiyama also added, “At Honda, our focus now is to lead the way in introducing Next Generation Advanced Technologies in all our products, providing the Joy of Buying to our customers. We have introduced the Sport Hybrid i-DCD, Turbo engine and advanced safety technology known as Honda SENSING in order to meet the demands and provide the best products to our customers in Malaysia.”
The New HR-V Sport Hybrid i-DCD is powered by a 1.5L DOHC i-VTEC engine with Direct Injection which provides a boost to the vehicle performance with excellent fuel efficiency. This is combined with 7-Speed Dual-Clutch Transmission and Integrated High Power Motor. The combined output of the engine and motor assisted by the High-Power Lithium-Ion Battery provides Hybrid power that is equal to a 2.0L engine with quick response and an exhilarating drive. The Sport Hybrid i-DCD system enables the vehicle to transfer power from its battery to motor during EV Mode which results in an efficient drive.
The system also includes an Electric Servo Brake System for improved energy regeneration and Fully Electric Driven Compressor air-conditioner system for the comfort of drivers and passengers. Other Hybrid exclusive features include the 3D Illuminated Meter Cluster Multi Information Display, Shift by Wire and Sport Mode. Besides the Hybrid variant, Honda Malaysia also launched the RS variant to complete the HR-V family with a total of 4 variants (Hybrid, RS, V and E). This is the first time the RS is being introduced in Malaysia. To date, Honda Malaysia has received more than 4,600 bookings for the New HR-V.
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 – Variable Gear Ratio (VGR) steering system for sportier driving. Introduced for customers wanting performance and a Compact SUV, the RS variant also comes with a Sporty 18-inch Dual-Tone Alloy Wheels, Sporty Design Front Grille and black front and rear bumper to further enhance its sportiness.

Honda Malaysia Sdn. Bhd. (Honda Malaysia) has officially launched its latest Honda 3S Centre located in Pasir Gudang, Johor by Yong Ming Motor Sdn. Bhd. (Yong Ming Motor). With this opening, Honda Malaysia has 97 dealerships nationwide with 12 dealerships in Johor to-date to provide easier accessibility and more convenience to customers.
Yong Ming Motor invested a total of RM18.5 million into the 77,000-square foot building in Pasir Gudang that is equipped with latest facilities and equipment. This 4-storey building (including basement parking) houses 14 bays, comprising 9 Service Bays, 3 General Repair Bays and 2 Tyre Service Bays that can accommodate up to 30 cars per day. On top of that, the new Honda 3S Centre has conducive and comfortable lounges especially for customers to relax in or catch up on work. There is also a free flow of food and beverage for customers to enjoy, Kids Corner and appropriately-assigned prayer rooms for Muslims to perform their prayers while waiting for their cars to be serviced.
Yong Ming Motor has a well-established relationship with Honda for over 48 years and the opening of this new Honda 3S Centre in Pasir Gudang marks its second Honda dealership. The first Yong Ming Motor Honda dealership opened in Skudai, where they have maintained high quality sales and after-sales service which has enabled them to consistently emerge as a top dealer. Honda Malaysia Managing Director & Chief Executive Officer, Mr. Toichi Ishiyama (below, centre) said, “With customer satisfaction being our main priority, it is very important for Honda Malaysia and our dealership partners to work together closely in order to serve our mutual customers better. This can only be achieved with strong support from our partners such as Yong Ming Motor. We believe this dealership expansion in Johor will provide more convenience to our customers, particularly in Pasir Gudang. Customers will be able to enjoy high quality service and after-sales offerings at an authorized Honda dealership nearer to them with upgraded facilities to enhance their Joy of Buying.”
The Director of Yong Ming Motor, Mr. Kenneth Cheng (above, left) said, “We are grateful for the opportunity given to us by Honda Malaysia to grow our customer base in this area. Previously customers in this area had to travel far to view the latest models or to service their cars but with our new dealership we aim to offer them the best Honda experience closer to where they are. This showroom that we are opening today represents our continuing commitment to Honda Malaysia.” The opening of new Yong Ming Motor Honda 3S Centre in Pasir Gudang is timely to support the increasing customers and after-sales service intake in Johor and able to provide the best quality service to them.
Based on the record, the after-sales intake rose 51% in the past five years. From January to November of 2018, the southern region alone recorded over 235,000 service intakes, an increase of 13% against the same period last year.
In terms of sales performance by region, the southern region was the second highest contributor with more than 17,000 units sold from January to October 2018 an increase of 2% when compared to the same period in 2017. This achievement is largely thanks to the Johor state which was the highest contributor to the southern region, accounting for over 12,000 units sold. Model-wise, the B-segment leader, City tops the chart as the best-selling model in the southern region. This model contributed 24% to the total southern region sales followed by Civic and CR-V which contributed 11% and 9% respectively to the regional sales units during this period.

Kepada semua peminat kereta Honda di dalam negara, ini adalah berita baik untuk anda. Mulai sekarang hingga 31 Disember 2018, Honda Malaysia telah mengumumkan sebuah kempen hujung tahun yang bernama “HONDA 3XTRAORDINARY SAVINGS” dimana anda boleh menikmati penjimatan sehingga RM50,000! (more…)
Manual gearbox. Three pedals. Stick shift. Call them what you will, but they’ve been dying a slow and painful death locally. It’s no big secret that Malaysians – thanks largely to our traffic conditions – are understandably only buying automatic cars for their daily needs these days, opting to let their left leg do absolutely nothing. Hell, there’s even a special driving license that you can apply for that allows you to drive ONLY automatic cars nowadays. Sheesh.
Thankfully, there are still manual transmission’d cars out there to be had new (but a lot more in the used-car market), and we recently got our hands on the latest generation Honda Civic Type-R, replete with 6-speed manual gearbox, and here’s what Piston.my’s editor thought… do forgive the silly-ass grin on his face.
“The Civic Type R which was launched in November 2017, is the world’s fastest front-wheel-drive (FWD) production car. Powered by a highly advanced 2.0-litre VTEC Turbocharged engine, producing 310PS and maximum torque of 400Nm, the CTR was engineered to deliver the most rewarding drive in the hot hatch segment, both on the road and on the race track. The 3-Way Driving Mode offered in the All-New Civic Type R – COMFORT, SPORT (default) and +R allows drivers to experience different dynamic performance depending on the driving environment. The different modes provide drivers with both the race car-like performance and the desired comfort that is required as a daily commute car” – Honda Malaysia.
HMSB recently also announced a year-end promo, in which it’s stated there is “up to RM50,000 savings” followed by mention of the Civic Type-R. Could it be the CTR is even more affordable now?

So, what are you waiting for? #yolo. – Chris Wee.
