Honda Malaysia Introduces Two New Body Colours For CR-V

Honda Malaysia has introduced 2 new body colour options for its CR-V SUV. The new Ignite Red Metallic colour is supposed to further elevate the exterior styling of the CR-V with a more vibrant appearance, while the Meteoroid Gray Metallic colour is supposed to highlight the rugged look of the model. These new colours are available for Honda’s current line-up of other vehicles, and are replacements for the Passion Red Pearl and Modern Steel Metallic colour choices that the CR-V had.

“The Ignite Red Metallic and Meteoroid Gray Metallic colours received good market acceptance since they were introduced in the Honda models, namely City, City Hatchback, Civic, BR-V and the newly-launched All-New HR-V, while the Accord also offers the Meteoroid Gray Metallic colour. Both colours were the popular options in these models; the Ignite Red Metallic colour contributed an average of 18% to the sales of each of the five models1, while the Meteoroid Gray Metallic colour contributed an average of 24% to the sales of each of the six models2. With the CR-V as the latest model to receive both colour options, we have completed the expansion of the Ignite Red Metallic and Meteoroid Gray Metallic colours into  the Honda line-up. We are confident that both new colours will further accentuate the appearance of the CR-V for customers who seek an SUV with a bolder and modern exterior,” said Honda Malaysia Managing Director and Chief Executive Officer, Mr. Hironobu Yoshimura.

The Honda CR-V is a popular model, with this current 5th generation netting sales of over 63,000 units since its launch in 2017. It received a facelift in November 2020, and the refreshed version contributed more than 27,000 units to the total sales to-date. The CR-V also contributed 12% to the company’s total sales in the first 7 months of 2022.
