- The new Honda
BR-V is now available for booking, not that anyone would buy in a hurry these few days whilst we are in the midst of a movement restriction order.
We don't expect any major changes mechanically, and take this opportunity to publish a video we did some time ago.
This particular vehicle was one of the first few units registered when the BR-V first was introduced. Since then it has run faithfully with zero breakdown. So far only a set of front wipers and a set of tyres have been replaced. - Auta a dopravní prostředky
Quite a good car with decently powerful engine in its segment and excellent practicality.
aku minat cara pmanduan uncle ni walaupun laju ttp jaga safety. jumpa bonggol pn x terus lanyak wlaupun tgh laju. power uncle 👏
Excellent Guidance.. I own Honda BR V and plan to hill climb I was bit sceptical about car capability but now i am confident.. Thanks a lot
excellent...learned a lot, m planning to buy either the BRV or the Rush. This is a good orientation to the car. Thanx YSKhong you just gained a new sub
You are most welcome.
Wahh good skill take cornering awesome uncle
Very entertaining video. Does the BRV have paddle shifter Uncle? Would love to see it in your next video.
No paddle shifters.
Nice review Sir👍 I have the V variant, bought May 2017 but hardly being used because I'm always out of the country🇵🇭 But I'm very happy & satisfied😍 Stay driving safely!
Akin nalang yan brv no paps nang magamit..heheh
Former 5 times Malaysian rally champion,,skillfull driver
Nice driving..the power of the machine is good...
whisky? hmmm maybe it's vodka ma man 🤪🤪🤪
stay safe stay strong
keep those videos coming
thank you 😁
ps: cool 😎👍
I would like to know the NVH level of the new facelifted BRV, as they say that it was reduced? I'm strugling to choose between brv, xpander and xl7, which is the one would you choose sir YS Khong? thanks
They are all B segment and about the same level. You should go test each one then choose
Hi Sifu.. wanna ask does lower ground clearance car like BRV improve handling during climbing?
Lowering will help handling, but you must weigh it against practical ground clearance. And you must use proper lowering springs. Do not use cut springs.
Thanks Uncle Khong for your review. I request few moth ago ....I love BR-V for the price & comfort...the NVH not so great ...overall it's a nice vehicle ...
Yes. This is the pre- facelift model.
Uncle YS pls do a review of the new Mazda 2 vs the pre-facelift model. Thanks
Have to wait a while
When did you record this production?
About a month ago.
I like the extra passenger capacity but hate that it lacks the boot feature of a sedan where i can put my belonging out of sight when the car is parked. I searched online but couldn't find anything like tonneau cover for normal SUV that can be fit into a 7-seven seater like BRV.
You are right. Hopefully the facelift covers it.
Planning to rent one this weekend for a family trip. Hope its good. If i use S mode, do i have to use paddle shifts or can it be S in auto?
BRV has no paddle shifters.
@@YSKhongDriving oops sorry thought i saw some 🤣
While you'e driving the cabin noise is noticeably loud. Is it because the mic you use or is it the true cabin noise?
I think it is the mic.
Hi Uncle, Hows your thoughts on CVT Transmission? Since it was almost 3yrs old.
Still going strong. No issues at all after 3 years.
Nice video uncle 👍🙂
Thanks for this video...I'm still thinking between a brv or aruz
Depends how you gonna use a 7 seater for. Measure your usage then measure the car's practicality and capability.
For brv price level, please consider x70.. 7- seater brv is waaay too lacking in everything.. shouldnt wear honda badge imho
Brv lebih selesa dri aruz
Compare brv dan aruz ada fulussssss
Please do a rerun of this BRV. Need to see the comparison with Veloz 🤔
There's going to be a new BRV
I wonder how long to wait if I book now? they informed me just after Chinese New Year, it is out of booking due to facelift matter, it needs to wait until June only the new modal will become out, if this is true, Mitsubishi Xpander is a better choice.
You can check with your Honda dealer. With the MCO in force, many things will change.
hi uncle im plan to get a suv models....which is good compare brv and rush? can u suggest tq
Tue BR -V is like a Honda City on stilts. Same engine and transmission, and 120 horsepower. The Rush is more hardy and has a very strong chassis. If you want better power, it's the BRV and if you want reliability and a car that goes on forever, it's the Rush.
Hi uncle im thinking of buying my first car in about 1-2months. been doing extensive research. i wonder if you've done any testing on honda mobilio or whether they have that in msia.
im kind of set on the BRV/mobilio because it seems to be the fastest/snappiest suv in this price bracket, i'm a snappy driver so i'd enjoy a car with some decent acceleration when needed to do overtaking in the hectic bangkok streets (but generally I let the car slowly accelerate when needing high speeds), drive a family around (planning to start a family in a couple of years/option of bringing the grandparents as well), can't be too big an SUV cuz wife wants to drive it too (we rented the fortuner last year and she commented it was far too big for her). I also don't like spending too much so I'll be looking at a 2nd hand 2015-2017 car.
are there are differences about the 2 cars (brv vs mobilio) that you especially want to highlight?
if not, would this car be the best car for my budget? thanks uncle for taking the time to read and reply!
also, i must say i really don't mind the sound at all. i actually like hearing the engine, it's like you're playing a game u know when u step the gas u hear some nice natural bass haha.
how's the comfort and suspension compared to other suvs in this price range?
The Mobilo is not available here. Only the BR-V. It is a great car if you are looking for a 7 seater, but a young man like you might find the Jazz or City more exciting.
But if you want to start a family and want to take the parents along, the BRV would be great. If you can get the Mobiliobin Bangkok, that would be better because you can get more space.
@@YSKhongDriving thanks for reading and taking the time to reply uncle.
I rented a city in 2019 and absolutely loved how exciting it was- pickup was snappy; and had significantly much more fuel economy than I ever remembered with any other car. maybe 4-7 hrs of total road time travelling to other states and didn't spend much to top up the petrol before returning it to the rental company. but then again, i'm thinking more long term use of the car, maybe in the next 5-10 years and I'll have a wife, maybe 1-2 kids, 2 grandparents, 1 sis-in-law, 1 uncle. max 5 adults 2 kids. so it'd be nice to have a vehicle to ferry us all when it's needed, but I still like a snappy drive, and read that the BRV/mobilio has the same engine as the city/jazz! hence i've more or less narrowed it down to the BRV :D (previously comparing vs avanza - i.e. very reliable i read)
I think you mean that the BRV has more space? a number of sources ive been reading up on has the BRV on longer length, wider width and taller height.
HI YS Khong, I am also use Honda Brv since 2018.
**I very happy your surname is same with me😍
Please make test drive aceleration 0 - 100 for honda brv.. the aruz your test aceleration 2 month ago 17sec with passengers.. So how about the BRV?..tq uncle..
The BR-V is quite quick, faster than 17 seconds. Same engine as in the City, 120 PS.
This was a borrowed car, and there was no time to do acceleration and other things. And this test was due to a viewer request.
Hi Uncle. Good to have the BRV for Genting Run. Just my suggestion, best is also have a drive with full load 7 adult video to try the power measurement to climb Genting to compare with similar competitors. Driven a rented BRV once but not full load up Genting. To me power is good enough. BRV is built at affordability sense so the car generally is noisier due to lack of built-in NVH. New owners may need to enhance the NVH out there. Have a plan to own one too.
I don't even have 7 people in the entire organization. Anyway we do not do comprehensive testing for all angles and loads. You would have to pay us to do such a test. So what you see is what you get. Otherwise we would be doing 10 videos for each vehicle and spend a month testing one car.
@@YSKhongDriving haha.. Ok noted, thank you for explaining, uncle. Just a suggestion. Seems to be a bit of a challenge there so no wonder no such video. Anyway I still enjoy watching you driving them tackling Genting uphill. Good drive uncle. Wait for your next video.
Saya beli untuk wife..Good safety rating. (For its kind)..Fuel economy is extremely good...Keta ni design for city commute, and light offroad, unpaved road or may be jalanraya lama..so not for speeding ya...So no need 6 airbags ya. not a high way speed cruising speed vehicle but ok drive at average speed of 10-150km/j... but best under 120km/j.. ( it is not for speeding on highway or a track car🤭🤭😁)..thats why u see it dont use 4 brake disc instead using 2 brake disc and 2 brake drums.... it can be drive for fun purpose or may be shopping/groceries or need space for some items to be transport, or may be need to go for picnic (human transport). but not meeting the comfort level for traveling more than 4 hrs continously. This car has limited storage n compartment. .well the seats are not for that purpose.. Even luggages space is small.well yes it has roof box rails.. which increase wind resistant and fuel ..but its fit for outdoor activities purpose or short trip that required extra carrier ..its design for short trip for fun... love this car very much .. practicality on daily use meet my family purpose (family of 7-small kids). Its segment B which has very low maintenance cost which give you less hassle and headaches plus this car will do better than other segment B car but lesser than a compat MPV but still serve as a mini suv. Incredibly its really do all these 3- city, small MPV, mini/light suv cross over..
Buy car that meet your purposes🥰🥰.. a car that can fit 7 people + rooftop carrier is not design for speed.. a segment B car which can fit 7 people..well you know what i meant..may be Xpander will slightly meet the expectation..
For my wife use.. 5 stars.. i got MPV by the way
My only comment for BRV is no 360 camera view. Well it has blind spot at far end right left and center.(front).So hard to predict when you try to park your car..
Wow, that is a review by itself.
Is that a typo? "The new Honda CR-V (BR-V?) is now available for booking, "
Thank you. Corrected.
Should try the Honda jade turbo 6 seater.
Donno where to get one.
i think the tires are noisy
Ever uncle test a toyota sienta uphill genting?
No, not yet.
Brv new vs toyota wish recond? Which one better... 100k budget
New car has new car smell and warranty.
YSK, if you only have a 100K budget to buy a seven-seater car, which vehicle you want to buy? aruz, brv, alza, avanza, exora, rush, ertiga....
I would use it to buy the most powerful one, and that would be the BRV at this moment.
@@YSKhongDriving more power than exora?
dear khong, any news on its price range. tq.
I think the showrooms may have the price. If you need more assistance please pm me yr contact number.
@@YSKhongDriving tq bos
nvh is not a problem for me, i want to hear its engine power....
Good Run
Brv ni ada auto cruise @ cruise control tak?
Tidak
between brv & new alza.. which 1 is better?
The BRV is much older design and is smaller than Alza
How about the NVH uncle?
For these entry level cars the NVH is okay okay only. Don't expect a super quiet interior.
Hi, please do genting run with Toyota Sienta
I think that car is not sold here anymore.
@@YSKhongDriving yes, only second hand available
Sir....apa beza brv 2020 dgn brv 2017...ada perbezaan ketara x ? Pls reply urgent..nak beli keta nih
Hahaha, Mechanically the same.
@@YSKhongDriving So, ok tak kalau saya beli brv keluaran tahun 2017-18 drpd beli yg baru
Make a Video Genting Run by Nissan X-Trail 2019 Hybrid Uncle YS😊
We already did that but on Grik road.
YS Khong Driving I want to See How Power the Nissan X Trail Hybrid Can Climb Genting😅
How does it compared to toyota wish?
The wish is a heavier vehicle and is bigger.
@@YSKhongDriving i mean how about performance & handling compared to toyota wish?
I was going to rent the 1.5l model to go up Genting with 6 people inside. But it's the old one not this one eh. So how does it climb Genting, cos I observe the horsepower for the same litre is not bad. And it's lighter than the Toyota Rush
Question how many Litre is this car?
This test car is the old one. It is 1.5 litre. With 6 people it will be quite a struggle, but you will be able to chug your way up.
@@YSKhongDriving I was thinking of renting this car from JB up to Genting. So good thing didn't have 6 ppl XD. I ended up 4 people in a myvi
Still a struggle.
@@YSKhongDriving 3adults and 4 kids, no problem so far so good, good in accelerating
sir.nagpaplano po kmi bumili ng car pra sa inyo po anu ang magnda pagdating sa makina honda or toyota po
Hi, both Honda and Toyota are world class brands. You cannot go wrong picking any one of them. Thank you for watching our channel.
This vehicle does have poor sound insulation and that CVT sounds like it's really struggling...then again,that's expected of a vehicle in this price bracket that carries 7. ✌🏻✌🏻✌🏻
Yes, this is an entry level vehicle
Steering wheel control, I prefer push pull. We have better control.
Ps: water looks like whisky hahaha
Hahaha, whiskey is not clear-coloured lah. Vodka, maybe, but I assure you it is water.
@@YSKhongDrivinghahaha great driving there. Thanks for the explanation of the steering wheel handling
IMO, the disadvantage of brv I guess is about only 2 airbags available in this car.
It keeps the cost sane. It's like having a 7 seater City.
Tq for listening to my request uncle hehehe, n to the people that request it also hehe
You are welcome.
cvt sound same proton Iriz first gen
what you are saying about steering position is true i always drive 9 to 3 classic racing position. one day i happend to drive an avanza and it has a slow rack and it was uncomfortable had to turn steering alot for the car to turn. i dont get it why they make it this way tho. is this their way of saying "this is not a car to drive sporty. dont steer fast" ? its irritating on daily driving tho i dont like that.
To lighten the load on the rack.
Both the Avanza & my brother's 2003 Unser has the same steering system & yes, it's slower than usual, with 4 turns lock-to-lock compared to most Protons & Perodua which has 3.0-3.5 turns lock-to-lock, yes, there's more wheel twirling but you get used to it. During my student days in Australia, I drove a heavy manual steering Ford Falcon with 5.5 turns lock-to-lock, now, try that for wheel twirling!!!
Engine or noise CVT noise so loud & bottom view left seems like blocked a bit
I think the bottom view is due to the video being cropped. The cam view is not wide angle enough. Will try to switch to wide angle view.
Sound insulation.. is really problem..
Hatches and MPV like these always have more sound intrusion.
Try video the meter will be more fun
Just the meter? Cannot block the meter : dangerous
@@YSKhongDriving just like you did in FK8 that was fantastic ^^
The engine noise is super loud at high rpm, I do think that aruz is quiter and it has better overall sound insulation compared to this thing
All vehicles will be loud when driven at high rev. Except maybe for Rolls Royce, ah but then...
Straight pipe no la, aruz even louder engine noise and it cant go fast uphill than brv, brv u dont feel the gears changing when u drive it, but aruz u can hear the gear changes,
hanief noor gear changes aren’t that loud, aruz can up hill at lower rpm because there are gear changes while brv doesn’t have that so it keeps the engine running at 6-7K RPM almost all the time which is stupid loud if you ask me.
Straight pipe hahah u dont hear the engine noise during the review la, aruz i can even hear t gear changes from outside when my neighbour drives it, n aruz are much slower going up hill than brv, yes brv maybe loud cuz the insulation not that good, but if u have many load going up hill aruz cant never keep up with brv high revs, well honda known for high revs, so for me its ok,
hanief noor it’s obvious that honda has more power than the aruz and that’s why it may be faster when going uphill. I just point out that engine noise is loud because maybe because it has less sound insulation.
10:53 woahh Singaporean W211 ❤️❤️
I felt abit floating for behind passengers. I guess its expected for SUV. I give it a pass.
for behind passenger,stable, and better than arus, brv is best for the price ,
@@Dk96377 yes agreed
The brv engine sound very unhappy..
We are revving it hard.
Lori berhenti
Depan sikit ada kereta polis
Hahahaha
Teringat pakcik sedare aku cakap pasal ni, dia kerja pemandu lori
**saja cakap, tak semestinya betul, maybe lori tu rosak or something
BR-V ?CR-V
Toyota Corona still the best deadly too
Corona? Hello, is that you, RV Winkle?
@@YSKhongDriving 🤣
Terrible NVH uncle khong...my ears bleeding with the engine and the cvt whine...
Only when you push it. In city driving it is quite a pleasant runabout.
Eric H its better than aruz
i was a brv owner, the soundproof really sucks, but the vibration and harshness test was quite good
wow... that's noisy
Maxed out! It sounds okay when the road is normal.
Underpowered for a 7-seater. Zero sound insulation, road noise and traffic noise very audible. Dust gets in cabin too easily. Dashboard and rear seats rattles. Thin rubber door seals. Check out the gaps too between the plastic side panels and the floor. Car Jack holder "designed" to scratch it even before use. Car new too. Fraudulent quality by Honda!
I think you need the XC90.
@@YSKhongDriving Too bulky and maintenance issues. Overall I would say Honda didn't live up to its name. The problems highlighted should not be with any new car, especially a Honda. Customer support lacking too. Into my 3rd month now waiting for solution to remaining issues.
waste fuel test becos dunno speed
We dont show speed because....
too noisy. under powered for me...engine is struggling.
Yes, it's only a 1.5 lit engine, already the most powerful in its class
very noisy vehicle
It's a basic vehicle.
