2020 Honda CR-V facelift open for booking in Malaysia – handsfree tailgate, standard LaneWatch, Q4 launch

Surprise, surprise – the City is not the only car Honda Malaysia is launching this year. The company has also announced that it is opening bookings for the facelifted CR-V, which is due to be introduced in the fourth quarter of 2020. So, it’s coming very soon, then.

In terms of equipment, the CR-V will get a new handsfree powered tailgate, while the LaneWatch blind spot camera will now be fitted as standard across the range. The car will continue to be offered with the Honda Sensing suite of driver assistance systems, which include autonomous emergency braking, adaptive cruise control with stop and go, lane keeping assist, lane centring assist and automatic high beam.

The CR-V will continue to be offered with a 1.5 litre VTEC Turbo four-cylinder engine, producing 193 PS and 243 Nm of torque and mated to a CVT. Honda Malaysia has also confirmed that all-wheel drive will still be made available to buyers, in stark contrast to the Proton X70, which can no longer be had with AWD. As yet, it is unclear if the base 154 PS/189 Nm 2.0 litre naturally-aspirated i-VTEC mill will soldier on.
