Powerful 6th Gen Honda CR-V Electrifies GIIAS Surabaya 2023 with First-Ever e:HEV Technology
ByPawaniSURABAYA, Indonesia — Honda enthusiasts and car aficionados gathered in Surabaya for the Gaikindo Indonesia International Auto Show (GIIAS) in September 2023, and they were treated to a spectacle that left everyone in awe. The star of the show? Honda’s powerful new model, the “CR-V,” which made its grand entrance at the event.
The CR-V, Honda’s flagship crossover SUV, has come a long way since its debut in 1995. Now in its 6th generation, this stylish and sporty vehicle is set to hit markets worldwide starting from July 2022. However, as of August 2023, the 6th generation CR-V is yet to make its debut in Japan, where the 5th generation is still in circulation.
One can’t help but admire the sophistication in the exterior design and the modern, sporty interior of the 6th generation CR-V, which truly sets it apart. But that’s not all; this model is characterized by active driving performance and a fun driving sensation that will make any journey an unforgettable experience.
The excitement didn’t stop there. At the GIIAS Surabaya 2023, Honda’s Indonesian subsidiary unveiled the first-ever 6th generation CR-V equipped with Honda’s latest hybrid system, the “e:HEV.” This hybrid powertrain enhances both power and fuel efficiency, marking the introduction of Honda’s cutting-edge electrification and hybrid technology to the Indonesian market.
The CR-V e:HEV specification pairs a 2-liter direct-injection 4-cylinder DOHC engine with an electric motor boasting the highest output in its class. This intelligent power management system and battery power regeneration technology combine to deliver optimal power in all driving situations, minimal fuel consumption, and a significantly reduced environmental impact. It’s a win-win, with powerful performance and eco-friendliness.
But that’s not all; Honda didn’t skimp on technology either. The latest generation Honda Connect system makes its debut in Indonesia, enhancing the CR-V’s already luxurious and spacious interior. With three rows of seats, this SUV can comfortably accommodate seven passengers while ensuring their safety on the road.
Anhoei Tiong, President of Honda’s Surabaya Center, commented on the significance of this model, stating, “The 6th generation CR-V is a model that heralds the beginning of Honda’s electrification technology in Indonesia.”
But the CR-V wasn’t the only showstopper at GIIAS Surabaya 2023. Honda also showcased the new battery electric vehicle (BEV) called the “Honda e.” It’s the first of its kind to hit Indonesian roads, rounding out an impressive lineup of vehicles on display at the event.
As Honda continues to push the boundaries of automotive innovation, the 6th generation CR-V and the Honda e are set to leave a lasting impression on Indonesian car enthusiasts, setting the stage for a new era of electrification and cutting-edge technology in the country.

Luxury minivan “Alphard” monopoly “Wait!” Many voices of expectation for the revival of Honda’s new “Odyssey”
“Alphard’ Exclusive Luxury Minivan “”Wait and See!”” Many Expect Honda’s New Odyssey to Make a Comeback
Much anticipation for the revival of the venerable Odyssey minivan brand!
The Odyssey, which was at the top of Honda’s three-row minivan lineup, has regrettably ceased production following the closure of Saitama Manufacturing’s Sayama Plant at the end of December 2021.A Japanese version of the new “”Odyssey””? The “”too gorgeous”” new “”Elysion”” on pre-sale in China .
In the midst of all this, we have received information that Honda is secretly considering the introduction of a high-end minivan once again.
Many Honda fans are voicing their expectations on social networking sites.Is this the new Japanese version of the Odyssey? Honda’s new Elysion luxury minivan, which underwent minor changes in China in December 2021
Honda discontinued production of the Odyssey at the end of December 2021.
The Odyssey is a “”well-established”” minivan brand with a history of more than 25 years since the first model in 1994, and the last model introduced in 2014 will be the fifth generation.
Although the Odyssey continued to be listed on the official website for more than six months after production ended, the website quietly ended in September 2022, and the vehicles in stock are believed to have been cleared out.
Currently, Toyota’s Alphard dominates the high-end minivan market, and for this reason, there are many requests for Honda to revive the Odyssey.
In the meantime, rumors are circulating that the Elysion, a high-end Odyssey model that continues to be produced in China, may be introduced to Japan as the new Odyssey in 2023.
The Chinese version of the Elysion is a new model that underwent minor changes in December 2021.
It is based on the Odyssey, which ended its domestic production at the very same time.
The body size of the Elysion is 4951 mm (length) x 1842 mm (width) x 1711 mm (height) with a wheelbase of 2900 mm.
It is a 7-seater with a second captain’s seat, and its powertrain combines a 2-liter Atkinson-cycle gasoline engine and a highly efficient and powerful 2-motor hybrid system.
The interior layout follows the specifications of the current Odyssey, which underwent minor changes in 2020, and includes a 7-inch full LCD instrument panel, a large 10.1-inch center display, and gesture control power sliding doors.
In addition, the seat materials are even more luxurious than those of the Odyssey, and an electric double sunroof, which was not available in Japan, is also available.
As of the end of October 2022, there has been no official announcement from Honda, but there are rumors that the Odyssey will appear in Japan in 2023, so we are waiting with great anticipation.
We are eagerly awaiting the arrival of the new Odyssey in Japan in 2023.
There have been many reactions to the rumors of the revival of the new Odyssey on social networking sites.
Honda fans have voiced their eager anticipation for the new Odyssey, with comments such as “”I can expect a lot,”” “”I’m happy if it’s true,”” “”I’m looking forward to it,”” and “”I think I’ll buy one.
On the other hand, there are also some cool comments such as “”It may not be able to compete with the Alphard unless it is more robust”” or “”It will not sell unless it is taller (like the Alphard)””.
Also, there are some who, in response to the discontinuation of the model, are saying, “”Oh, no! I’ve ordered another car…”” Some users also said that they had already ordered another car.
Some users are puzzled by Honda’s response, saying, “”Honda’s response seems to be too perfunctory”” after having announced the discontinuation of the model once before.
In any case, with Toyota almost completely dominating the market for luxury minivans, there are many who are looking forward to the return of the new Odyssey as a competitor.”
