Honda launched the WR-V in March this year and within a month itself the company managed to sell over 3,800 units of the crossover. The WR-V has certainly been wowing the people as Honda announced that the company has received 12,000 bookings for the car already. In fact in April too the company managed to sell more than 3,000 units second only to the City which was the company’s bestselling product. While we’ve already told you about Honda’s growth in April, the WR-V is contributing significantly to this kitty.
We have spoken a lot about the car in our review and also when we compared the car with the segment leader – the Maruti Suzuki Vitara Brezza. The Honda WRV might not be an SUV like the Vitara Brezza but it's is still the longest in its class right beside the Ford EcoSport. The other big take away from this car is the sheer number of features on offer and the very spacious cabin.
The styling and the features on the WR-V makes it a value for money car
You get a 7-inch touchscreen infotainment system with optional Wi-Fi for internet support, cruise control, engine start-stop button, and a multifunctional steering wheel along with a segment-first electric sunroof. It also gets some class-leading safety features like ABS with EBD and Dual airbags will come as part of standard equipment.
The WRV comes in both petrol and diesel guise powered by a 1.2 litre i-VTEC and a 1.5 litre i-DTEC engine. The petrol motor makes 89 bhp and 110 Nm of torque, while the oil burner develops 99 bhp and 200Nm of torque. The petrol trim also returns a decent mileage of 17.5 kmpl, while the diesel offers a best-in-class 25.5 kmpl.
