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 but the engine has been tuned for efficiency and hence, though it has enough power, the car doesn't feel as powerful. The diesel is the better of the two as it offers both power and good fuel efficiency. We've said this even in our review, that the WR-V is spacious and comes with a whole bunch of features.
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 which are part of standard equipment.
What is worrying though, is that the sales in May 2017 have fallen below the 3000 mark and though that doesn't warrant the panic button to be pressed, it might just be a red flag for Honda. We'll have to see how the WR-V does in the coming months but from the bookings received by the company, it looks like the interest in the car hasn't diminished yet.
