The new, third-generation Honda HR-V has just been launched in Malaysia, and demand for it has already been strong before its official market launch, with more than 20,000 bookings received to date.

As of earlier this month, the new HR-V has already accumulated a waiting list for orders that stretches to more than 12 months, and with the initial customer previews held last month, the response will have been from customers rushing to secure their bookings before the sales tax exemption deadline on June 30.

Details of the bookings have since emerged at the launch of the HR-V today, where the distribution of bookings between variants have been revealed; 20% of HR-V bookings are for the e:HEV, and 5% for the naturally aspirated powerplant in the base variant, while the 1.5 litre VTEC Turbo in the E and V variants is expected to account for the majority that is the remaining 75% of the demand spread.
