2024 Honda CR-V e:HEV RS review in Malaysia - The Mythical SUV Supreme?

Sure, over the last 30 years, the Honda CR-V has gone from everyday errand runner to both pseudo-luxury statement piece and a practicality powerhouse.

But something has happened with this new 6th-generation version: it has become a desired object. Whether its nose is too Audi or Mazda-like, or its rear end is uncomfortably similar to a Volvo's - who cares - people are impressed, even attracted, when they see on roll by, and that's a big deal.

Unfortunately, none of this comes cheap. Brushing up against the RM200k mark for this top-of-the-line variant in RS trim and powered by the company's excellent i-MMD hybrid drive system, the CR-V is positioned as Honda's flagship offering, only losing the title of "most expensive Honda" to the Civic Type R.

So, does it deserve that seat on the throne?
