Overview
The Honda CR-V is a C-segment SUV for buyers who put cabin space and day-to-day usability ahead of visual drama. Launched in 2023, the RY-generation range starts from RM178,200 and pairs a choice of hybrid or turbo-petrol power with five seats. The hybrid is front-wheel drive; the petrol V brings all-wheel drive.
CR-V in 2026 — what's new
For 2026, the CR-V gains a new e:HEV E entry hybrid and updates to the e:HEV E and e:HEV RS that add built-in Google, Blind Spot Information System (BLIS) and Rear Cross Traffic Alert (RCTA). The e:HEV RS remains at RM195,900. The range continues with the 1.5 V AWD turbo alongside the two front-wheel-drive 2.0-litre e:HEV hybrids.

Which variant to buy
Most buyers should start with the RM178,200 2.0 e:HEV E. It is the least expensive CR-V, has 327 hp and receives built-in Google, BLIS and RCTA in its 2026 update. The RM181,900 1.5 V AWD costs RM3,700 more and is the one for those who specifically need all-wheel drive, though it has 187 hp. The RM195,900 e:HEV RS is the higher-priced hybrid; pay the RM17,700 gap only after checking its added equipment against the E.

Honda CR-V buyer's guides & reviews
Verdict
The CR-V’s strongest case remains practicality: space and usability are central to its appeal, while the 2026 hybrid update brings useful safety-assist and infotainment additions. It is not the budget route into a C-segment SUV, costing substantially more than the Proton eMas 7, Proton X70 and Jetour Dashing. Buyers also need to accept that the hybrid is FWD, while AWD means choosing the lower-output turbo V.
