The 2022 Honda HR-V in Malaysia comes equipped with a 1.8-litre i-VTEC naturally aspirated four-cylinder petrol engine, cranking out 141 horsepower and 172 Nm of peak torque. What's nice about this engine is Honda's tried-and-true i-VTEC tech, which uses an intelligent variable valve timing and lift system to optimize intake and exhaust efficiency. That means you get decent power response without sacrificing fuel economy, with an official combined fuel consumption figure of around 6.4L/100km. For Malaysian buyers, the 1.8-litre displacement offers a price advantage under the local tax structure. Plus, naturally aspirated engines are known for their simplicity, reliability, and lower maintenance costs-ideal for long-term use in our tropical climate. If you're craving more power, some overseas markets do offer a 1.5-litre turbocharged version. But the Malaysian spec leans heavily into practicality and value for money, which aligns with Honda's usual approach to the Southeast Asian market.
