Honda Malaysia has unveiled the Honda CR-V Black Edition, which as its name suggests, is a dark-themed version of the popular SUV. The Black Edition is based on the mid 1.5L TC-P 2WD variant of the 2021 CR-V facelift, with Crystal Black Pearl paint. It is priced at RM 161,913 on-the-road without insurance, with SST exemption. That’s a RM 4,298 premium over the non-black regular car.
The CR-V Black Edition features a black
front grille and black front bumper garnish, leaving just two strips of
brightwork on the face. There’s also a black rear bumper garnish and 18-inch
alloys in piano black.
It’s dark inside too, with trim
for the steering wheel, digital meter panel and air con vents all in piano
black. The wood trim on the centre console, dashboard and doors are in black
instead of brown; this is matched by black headlining and black leather seats
with “Black Edition” embroidered on the front seats.
No change to the rest of the spec sheet.
The 1.5L TC-P 2WD is powered by a 1.5 litre VTEC Turbo engine with 193 PS/243
Nm, and power is sent to the front wheels via a CVT. The Honda Sensing ADAS
suite of driver assist tech is present, along with Remote Engine Start, which
allows one to start the engine and turn on the AC remotely. Also very useful is
the powered tailgate, which can be opened with a kick.
