At the same time, Honda Malaysia also revealed that at least one other new Honda would likely follow the Odyssey MPV, but we did not know the exact model. Some rumors assume that it could be the Honda HR-V 2018 facelift.

Speaking of the facelifted Honda HR-V, changes on the exterior are subtle. The brand’s latest corporate face at the front fascia includes a new grille with a thicker chrome bar seen on the new Accord and Civic, alongside revised LED headlamps with high beam and indicators. A more aggressive look is manifested by lower air intakes. Plus, LED fog lamps will be served as optional feature.
